“’ Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house, not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse.” Are you picturing a quiet and quaint holiday with your family? Well, your plans could be ruined if you are not living in a sound dampen home. Here are the top three reasons why you should sound dampen your home this Christmas season:
Privacy
Your home is your place of solitude and also where you can enjoy time with your loved ones. During the holidays, your house might be bustling with company, which might be the same case with your neighbors. Avoid overhearing your neighbors or being a nuisance yourself by installing sound dampening inside your home. Luckily, homeowners can easily sound dampen their homes efficiently and effectively with insulation installed by a professional.
Cozy
RetroGreen firmly believes that your home should be cozy in two ways: warm and feels like home. To ensure that there are no drafts within your home, retrofitting your walls with insulation will keep the warm in and cold air out during the winter months. Not only does a cozy home make you feel festive throughout the winter months, it also reduces energy bill costs and improves homeowner satisfaction.
Makes your home green
Usually, we deck out our homes in red and green during the holiday season, but sound dampening your home can make your home green all year long. Sound Dampening your home adds additional insulation into the walls of your home making them more effective in fending off cold drafts and other air from seeping indoors. By saving more money on your electric bill, you’ll be able to put more money towards giving back throughout the year.
Sound Dampening your home may seem like an unnecessary home expense, but will improve to your overall livelihood. Decreasing sounds being able to negatively impact your peaceful oasis and improving your home’s overall efficiency are among the top reasons you should sound dampen your home this holiday season.

Chris didn't start RetroGreen Energy because he wanted to be in the insulation business. He started it because he wanted to fix homes the right way.
After earning his BPI Building Analyst certification and Minnesota Building Contractor license, Chris spent years studying how homes perform as systems. He saw firsthand that most comfort and energy problems weren't caused by old windows or outdated furnaces — they were caused by air leakage and inadequate insulation that nobody was diagnosing properly.
In 2009, he launched RetroGreen Energy with a commitment to doing things differently. Every project would start with proper diagnostics. Every recommendation would be based on data, not sales targets. And every homeowner would get the honest truth about what their home actually needed.
