Why Attics and Crawl Spaces Matter Most
Up to 40% of a home's energy loss occurs through the attic, and another 15-20% through the crawl space or basement. These are the highest-impact areas for insulation upgrades — where you'll see the biggest improvement in comfort and the fastest return on investment.
Attic Insulation
Heat rises, making your attic the primary escape route for heated air in winter — and the primary entry point for solar heat gain in summer. Proper attic insulation creates a thermal barrier that keeps conditioned air inside your living space.
- Current code in Indiana requires R-49 in attics (many older homes have R-19 or less)
- Blown-in cellulose or fiberglass provides seamless, cost-effective coverage
- Spray foam on the roof deck converts the attic to conditioned space
- Air sealing the attic floor before insulating is critical for maximum performance
Crawl Space Insulation
Uninsulated crawl spaces allow cold air, moisture, and pests into your home. Proper crawl space insulation and encapsulation creates a dry, controlled environment that protects your home's foundation and improves comfort on the floors above.
- Closed-cell spray foam on crawl space walls provides insulation and vapor barrier
- Crawl space encapsulation with vapor barrier and dehumidification
- Floor insulation (batts or spray foam) for vented crawl spaces
- Rim joist insulation to seal the critical junction between foundation and framing
