Cellulose Insulation
Cellulose insulation is an eco-friendly solution made from 80% recycled materials. Our dense-packed cellulose provides superior thermal performance with an R-value of 3.8 per inch while reducing air infiltration by up to 40%. This non-toxic, fire-resistant material creates healthier indoor environments by minimizing drafts and improving energy efficiency.
Foam Insulation
Our closed-cell spray foam insulation creates an airtight seal while providing structural reinforcement. This high-performance solution offers R-values up to 6.5 per inch and effectively blocks moisture infiltration. We apply foam insulation in wall cavities, attics, and around structural joints for comprehensive thermal protection.
Energy Audits
Our certified H.E.R.S. Raters conduct comprehensive energy audits using thermal imaging and air leakage testing. This diagnostic process identifies inefficiencies in building envelopes and HVAC systems. We develop customized solutions to address air infiltration, moisture management, and thermal bridging issues while maximizing energy savings.
Air Sealing
We implement targeted air sealing strategies to eliminate thermal bypasses through building envelopes. Our technicians identify and seal gaps around windows, doors, plumbing penetrations, and electrical outlets. This critical step improves HVAC efficiency by preventing conditioned air loss and reducing energy consumption by up to 26%.
Attic Insulation
Our attic insulation solutions combine proper R-value selection with comprehensive coverage. We install blown cellulose or spray foam systems that meet current energy code standards while addressing ventilation requirements. The application process reduces heat transfer through the roof structure, maintaining consistent indoor temperatures and lowering cooling costs during peak summer months.

Peter came out and did a site inspection and gave me a firm price on the spot. I accepted and the very next morning his team was at my house and ready for work. I could not be more pleased with the job Jimbo, Michael and Labaron did. I highly recommend Happy Home Insulation!

Had them come out and insulate the attic of our house in mid-town. Peter came out mid-week to do the quote and on the following Monday, we were happily insulated. Will absolutely call on them when we're ready to do the external walls. The guys that showed up were on time, and super friendly. Reasonable price!
