Our Approach
BPI-Certified Insulation & Air Sealing in Calhoun
Your HVAC system is only as good as your home's envelope. That's why Anderson Heating, Air & Insulation became BPI certified, to measure, test, and fix the entire home, not just the equipment.
"I realized I had to own the whole house power bill — not just swap the box." John Anderson, Founder
- BPI-certified testing. We don't guess. We use blower door tests, pressure diagnostics, and infrared cameras to find exactly where your home is leaking energy.
- HVAC + insulation under one roof. We design your insulation to work with your HVAC system. Most companies do one or the other. We do both.
- Expertise developed since 1978. Family-owned since 1978. We know Northwest Georgia homes and how to make them comfortable and efficient.
Air Sealing First
Should air sealing come before more insulation?
Air leaks can carry heat and moisture through gaps that insulation alone does not stop. A whole-home assessment identifies bypasses, duct leakage, and existing insulation before work is scoped. In many homes, sealing accessible leaks and then installing insulation to the appropriate level produces a more reliable comfort result than adding insulation without diagnosis.
How We Work
We go where the air leaks actually are.
Real air sealing means crawling into the spots most contractors won't: crawlspaces, knee walls, rim joists, attic hatches. Our BPI-certified crews measure leakage with a blower door before and after so you see proof, not promises.

How we evaluate the work
Air leaks and insulation do different jobs
Air leakage can carry heat and moisture through gaps that insulation alone does not stop. An assessment considers accessible bypasses, existing insulation, duct condition and the heating and cooling equipment before work is scoped.
How we evaluate the work
Plan envelope work with HVAC
Duct cleaning addresses supported buildup. Duct repair addresses leaks, damage and airflow paths. Insulation and air sealing address the thermal envelope. Diagnosis determines which work is appropriate; one service is not a substitute for every other service.
Sealing accessible leaks and choosing an insulation approach should account for ventilation, moisture and existing conditions.
