OUR TEAM
Aldo Acosta
Owner / CEO
Aldo is our contractor. Our Building Insulation Contractor is a Certified Class I Existing Residential Rater that is issued by the State of Florida Energy Ratings System. Being a previous physics professor provides him with a strong background in physics and gives him the best tools to understand the complexity behind the comfort, interior air quality, and energy efficiency expected in a residential or commercial building.
He continuously participates in conventions, courses and training classes to be up to date with the most modern practices, changes in codes and regulations, new materials and more. The starting point for Aldo’s approach is always to prioritize the “customer’s concerns and goals.” These concerns and goals are the first priority before conducting a building inspection. After the building inspection is completed he then proposes an action plan to bring the most cost efficient solution in order to solve the customer’s problems and reach their goals.

Insulation Experts
All Star Team
When you see workers installing any insulation in a building, at first glance, it looks like something simple. This process will produce the desire outcome “reduction in heat flow” between the exterior and the interior of the building that will bring comfort, energy efficiency, and interior air quality.
But is not so simple.
Behind the act to install any insulation material, there is a long chain of steps aimed at achieving a goal: How to bring energy efficiency, comfort and interior air quality for the inhabitants of a building?
There is a theoretical base usually called Building Science that helps to produce and improves insulation materials, understand the physics of heat or humidity dynamics, installation procedures, there are codes and regulations, construction laws to respect, employee training, customer care and much more.
