Keep Your Edwardsville Home Comfortable Year-Round
Edwardsville sits in the cold, humid climate band that covers the Metro East (IECC Climate Zone 5A), so local homes have to handle muggy St. Louis area summers in the 90s and freezing winter stretches within the same year. When insulation and air sealing fall short, that swing shows up as rooms that never hold a set temperature and utility bills that spike every peak season. Koala Insulation of Gateway West & Metro East IL helps Madison County homeowners close that gap with insulation matched to how our climate actually behaves.
As the county seat about 18 miles northeast of downtown St. Louis, Edwardsville pairs century-old homes around the LeClaire Historic District and Historic Saint Louis Street with newer construction stretching toward SIUE and Glen Carbon. Many of the older houses were built long before modern energy codes, so their attics and walls are often under-insulated by today’s standards. The U.S. Department of Energy recommends R-38 to R-60 of attic insulation for our zone, and bringing an attic up to that range is one of the most cost-effective ways to steady indoor temperatures and cut energy use in both seasons.
