Professional Residential Insulation
Energy efficiency is just one of the many benefits of high-quality insulation. Your HVAC system is your most expensive appliance, and poor insulation makes it work harder to reach the comfort level you need, reducing its service life by years.
The right amount of insulation has advantages, such as lower monthly energy bills and improved indoor air quality.
If your insulation is undamaged but around 15 to 20 years old, adding more might be a good idea. Insulation tends to compress over time, so adding more improves energy efficiency. This is called retrofitting.
Therm-Con’s insulation solutions are customized applications for every area in your home. The different types of insulation materials we recommend for your home are:

Different Signs Your Home Needs More Insulation
Insulation isn’t just about keeping your home warm. It also needs cool air and moisture control at times. Insulation keeps your home warm when it’s cold out and cool when it’s hot out. If you think you may have an insulation problem, you likely do.
Signs you need more insulation can include:
- Bugs/rodents: Once bugs or rodents nest in your insulation, it must be professionally removed and replaced.
- Drafts/temperatures: If some rooms are too hot and others too cold, you may need insulation services. Floors and ceilings should feel dry to the touch; if you feel dampness, there’s a problem.
- Frozen pipes: Homes without enough attic insulation have clean roofs after a heavy snowfall. Frozen pipes are also a problem in under-insulated homes.
- 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. 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.
Other issues may arise from outdated or inadequate insulation. Contact the Therm-Con team today to request a quote and get more information about your insulation. Quotes are free.
Types of Insulation Our Team Can Install in Your Home
Fiberglass is the preferred insulation for a good reason.
- Can be blown into spaces that are difficult to access
- Can provide several levels of thermal protection
- Has better soundproofing
- Is made from recycled materials and can be customized for any job or space
- Is the most affordable
- Is naturally fire-resistant because it’s made from glass and sand
