Measure before you insulate in Sudbury

BCI Pro Energy is the energy services side of BCI Group. Because our raters work alongside our insulation crews, we can test, recommend, install and re-test without handing you off to someone else.

In older homes, a blower door test shows exactly where air leaks, so upgrades go where they matter most.

Because Sudbury is close to our Westborough office, we can usually see your property within days.

What Sudbury homes need

Sudbury is mostly larger single-family homes, many colonials and contemporaries built from the 1950s through the 1990s, plus historic homes near Sudbury Center.

Sudbury is a largely residential town along the Sudbury River, with historic homes around Sudbury Center and many larger colonials and contemporaries built from the 1950s on. Big homes with cathedral ceilings, skylights and finished attics often have hidden air leaks we find with blower door testing.

Middlesex County is the most populous county in New England, with dense older cities near Boston and larger single-family suburbs further west.

Climate & code

Climate zone 5A targets

Homes in Sudbury sit in climate zone 5A, where ENERGY STAR suggests R-49 to R-60 in the attic. Settled or missing insulation is common in older buildings. Many Massachusetts towns have adopted the Stretch Energy Code or the Specialized Opt-in Code, which raise insulation and air-sealing requirements for new construction and major renovations.
