Energy efficiency is just one benefit of good home insulation. Your HVAC system is your most expensive appliance, and poor insulation makes it work harder to reach the comfort level you need, which takes years off your system’s service life.
Lower monthly energy bills and improved indoor air quality are two other advantages of the right amount of insulation.
If your insulation is undamaged but is 15–20 years old, adding to your insulation might be a good idea. Your insulation tends to compress over time, so adding more improves your energy efficiency. This is called retrofitting.
Therm-Con insulation solutions are customized applications for every area in your home. The insulations we recommend are:
- Fiberglass
- Spray foam
- Or a combination of both

Signs Your Chattanooga Home Needs More Insulation
Insulation isn’t just about keeping your home warm. We need cool air and moisture control in this area, too. Insulation keeps your home warm when it’s cold out and cool when it’s hot out. If you think you have insulation problems, you likely do.
Signs you need more insulation include:
- Bugs/rodents: Once bugs or rodents nest in your insulation, it must be professionally removed and replaced.
- Drafts/temperatures: Some rooms are too hot and others too cold. Floors and ceilings should feel dry to the touch; if you feel dampness, there’s a problem.
- Frozen pipes: Homes without enough attic insulation are the ones that have clean roofs after a heavy snowfall. Frozen pipes are a problem in under-insulated homes as well.
- High utility bills: If your energy bills are higher than your neighbor’s, you may need more insulation.
- Water damage/mold: Moisture can collect behind walls, causing structural damage, but if mold forms, it’s a health hazard. Never attempt DIY insulation removal. If it’s moldy or contaminated with rodent waste, you’ll create even more of a health risk.
