Types of Insulation: Tailored to Your Home

We install three main types of insulation: fiberglass, cellulose, and foam. Fiberglass is the most common and comes in batts or blown-in form, offering solid thermal protection and a vapor barrier. Cellulose is also blown in and adds fire resistance, mold prevention, and pest deterrence. Foam insulation expands to create an airtight seal, blocking moisture and improving indoor air quality.

Each option has its strengths, and our team helps you choose the right one based on your home’s layout and energy goals.

Benefits: Efficiency, Protection, and Peace of Mind

Proper insulation does more than lower your heating costs — it also reduces cooling expenses, dampens noise between rooms, and protects your HVAC equipment from overuse.

With better insulation, your furnace and air conditioner don’t have to work as hard, which means fewer breakdowns and longer system life. You’ll enjoy more consistent temperatures, fewer cold spots, and a reduced carbon footprint. It’s a smart upgrade that pays off in comfort and savings.

Fiberglass. This is the most common kind of insulation. It comes in two forms. The one you usually see is fiberglass batts, which is a blanket-style roll of fiberglass insulation with a backing that acts as a vapor barrier. The other kind is blown-in fiberglass installation, where a machine blows loose fiberglass through a hose into the desired location.

Cellulose. This insulation is also blown into a space. In addition to effective insulation, it also is fire retardant, helps prevent the growth of mold and repels insects and rodents.

Foam. This insulation is a two-part liquid compound that when mixed and applied it will expand, dry and become inert. The advantages it offers include creating an airtight seal that deters mold and provides a moisture barrier. It also does not provide any sources of food for insects or rodents, so they’re not likely to be behind your walls.

The benefits of insulation

• Insulation is best known for lowering your heating costs. There’s even more it does for you and your home.
• A properly insulated home also helps lower your cooling costs, because it keeps your cooled air in your home and not lost to drafts.
• Insulation reduces noise from room to room.

Your HVAC equipment is protected. Adequate insulation keeps heated or cooled air in your home, meaning your furnace or central air conditioning does not have to run as frequently to keep your home comfortable. That reduces wear on your equipment, which reduces your risk of breakdowns while potentially lengthening its life.

Your home becomes more comfortable. Rooms are more evenly heated. Cold spots near the walls are gone.

Because you’re using less energy to heat and cool your home, you’re also reducing your environmental impact and carbon footprint.
