Pearl Certification Partners with Koala Insulation for a More Energy-Efficient U.S. Housing Market

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va., July 13, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) – Pearl Certification, the industry’s foremost third-party certification program for high-performing homes, and Koala Insulation, one of the fastest-growing franchises in the country, announce a new partnership.

Home services contractors can install top-of-the-line insulation from Koala while validating the increased value they bring to the home with a third-party certification from Pearl.

“Air sealing and proper insulation are the first steps to a high-performing home,” said Cynthia Adams, CEO and co-founder of Pearl Certification. “It doesn’t matter how efficient your HVAC system is. If your home is poorly insulated and not properly air sealed, the hot or cool air that your HVAC system expels will literally go out the window anyway. That’s why it’s so imperative for Pearl to partner with Koala Insulation, a company that provides the first two steps of creating a more energy-efficient home.”

Both Pearl Certification and Koala Insulation carefully vet their national network of contractors and only accept those who demonstrate a commitment to exceptional customer service, high standards of service excellence, and professional development for all their employees.

“We are excited to partner with Pearl and bring additional selling power to Koala’s sales force by adding value to qualified energy-efficiency upgrades," said Megan Taylor, Vice President of Operations for Koala Insulation. “Pearl is a fantastic resource for the IRA and other various efforts.”

High-performing homes are not just energy-efficient; they are also safe, smart, and comfortable — an attribute unachievable without effective air sealing and insulation. With a shared mission of improving the performance of the U.S. housing market, Pearl Certification and Koala Insulation will transform how homeowners think about their homes.
