Carrollton's housing mix reflects its history as a mill town and its role as a college town today, older mill-village homes, a large stock of near-campus rental housing, and newer subdivisions spreading out from the city center. Each of those categories tends to have a different insulation story, and we adjust our approach accordingly.
Older mill-village and near-campus rental homes in Carrollton are frequently under-insulated or not insulated at all, which shows up as high utility bills for owners and tenants alike. Rental property owners in particular benefit from insulation upgrades, lower vacancy-period utility costs and fewer tenant complaints about hot upstairs bedrooms or cold floors. Newer subdivisions further from downtown are generally built to current code, but as with anywhere, "built to code" is worth verifying rather than assuming.
