The Importance of Home Insulation
Your home’s insulation does far more than just keep you warm in winter and cool in summer. It’s a crucial component of your home’s overall efficiency and health.
Energy Efficiency
Proper insulation creates a thermal barrier that significantly reduces heat transfer, leading to lower energy bills and consistent indoor temperatures throughout the year.
Health Benefits
Quality attic insulation also helps maintain better indoor air quality by blocking outdoor pollutants, allergens, and moisture that can negatively affect your family’s health and comfort.

Our Insulation Services
Keeney Home Services offers a complete selection of insulation services tailored to your home’s specific needs.
Attic Insulation Installation
A poorly insulated attic can lead to excessive heat loss in the winter and heat buildup in the summer, making your home uncomfortable and less efficient.
Our expert team starts with a thorough attic inspection to assess your current insulation levels, identify air leaks, and evaluate ventilation effectiveness. Based on this assessment, we recommend the most appropriate attic insulation solution for your home and budget.
Spray Foam Insulation
Provides superior air sealing and moisture resistance with excellent R-value performance. Available in both open-cell and closed-cell varieties, spray foam creates an airtight barrier in spaces like attics, crawl spaces, walls, and basements to dramatically improve your home’s energy efficiency.
Blow-In Insulation
A versatile and cost-effective insulation solution that utilizes either cellulose or fiberglass materials. This method is particularly effective for filling hard-to-reach spaces and providing even coverage across your attic floor.
Rigid Foam Insulation
Offers exceptional insulating properties and moisture resistance, perfect for specific applications where a maximum R-value per inch is needed. Rigid foam insulation is commonly installed in basements, exterior walls, crawl spaces, and roofs to provide additional insulation in areas prone to energy loss.
Attic Air Sealing
Even the highest quality insulation can’t perform at its best if your attic has an air leak. Our comprehensive air sealing service addresses the often-overlooked gaps and cracks that allow costly air leakage. Using advanced techniques and professional-grade materials, our technicians seal every potential air pathway.
We employ a combination of specialized caulking compounds, expanding spray foam, and heavy-duty weatherstripping to create an airtight environment to maximize your insulation’s effectiveness. This thorough approach not only prevents drafts but also keeps moisture and unwanted pests from entering your home.
Rim Joist Insulation
The rim joist area — where your home’s floor structure meets the foundation — is a common source of energy loss that many homeowners overlook. At Keeney Home Services, we pay special attention to this crucial area.
We primarily use spray foam insulation for rim joists because it provides superior air sealing and moisture control while adding structural support. The combination of rim joist insulation and attic insulation significantly prevents drafts, reduces the risk of mold growth, and improves your home’s overall energy efficiency.
Crawl Space Insulation
An improperly insulated crawl space can lead to serious issues — everything from higher energy bills to structural damage. Our crawl space insulation service creates a protective barrier that prevents energy loss and controls moisture levels.
We typically recommend either rigid foam board or spray foam insulation, depending on your specific situation. Combined with professional-grade vapor barriers, our crawl space solutions create a dry, energy-efficient space that protects your home’s foundation and improves indoor air quality.

The Science Behind Insulation
Understanding R-Value
R-value is the key measure of insulation effectiveness. The higher the R-value, the more resistant it is to heat flow and the more stable your home’s temperature. Every type of insulation material has its own R-value per inch of thickness, with factors like density and material composition affecting its performance. In addition to its effectiveness, a higher R-value also indicates a higher initial investment — though this often pays for itself over time through reduced energy costs. At Keeney Home Services, we help you choose the optimal R-value for your specific needs, considering factors like your home’s structure and local climate conditions.Air Sealing and Its Impact
Air sealing is equally important for maximizing home energy efficiency. While insulation provides a thermal barrier, air sealing prevents conditioned air from escaping through gaps and cracks. At Keeney Home Services, our approach to air sealing combines specialized caulking for stationary components (like window frames) and weatherstripping for movable elements (like doors). This comprehensive strategy not only reduces energy costs but also improves your home’s durability and creates a healthier living environment. Many homeowners see a return on their air sealing investment within a year.Start Saving Energy and Money With an Attic Insulation Upgrade

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
How do I know if my home needs better insulation?
Several warning signs indicate insufficient insulation, including:
- Unexpectedly high energy bills
- Inconsistent temperatures between rooms
- Noticeable drafts throughout your home
- Your HVAC system is running more frequently than usual
What’s the best type of insulation for my home?
The ideal insulation solution depends on various factors specific to your home. For attics, we often recommend blown-in insulation or spray foam for their superior coverage and performance. Walls and basements might benefit more from rigid foam or fiberglass batts.
During our inspection, we’ll evaluate your home’s unique needs and recommend the most effective attic insulation installation solution.
How much can I save on energy bills with new insulation?
Most homeowners see a 15-30% reduction in energy costs after installing new insulation. The exact savings depend on factors like your home’s size, the condition of existing insulation, and the extent of efficiency upgrades implemented. We can provide a more specific estimate after assessing your home.
How long does insulation last?
Quality insulation typically lasts 20-30 years. However, various factors can affect this number, including moisture exposure and natural settling. We recommend periodic assessments to address minor issues before they become major problems.
Does insulation help with noise reduction?
Yes! Proper insulation does double duty by improving both energy efficiency and sound control. Spray foam and dense-packed cellulose insulation are particularly effective at reducing noise transmission — whether it’s from outside traffic or between rooms in your home.
Is there a tax credit or rebate for upgrading insulation?
Yes, many homeowners can take advantage of financial incentives for insulation improvements. These may include federal tax credits, state programs, and utility company rebates. Our team stays current with available incentive programs and can help you identify which ones apply to your project, potentially reducing your overall investment.
