Frequently Asked Questions About Insulation

General Insulation Questions

  • Why is insulation important for my home or business?

    Insulation creates a barrier that reduces heat transfer between the inside and outside of your property. Proper insulation lowers energy bills, improves comfort, and protects your building against drafts, noise, and moisture. In Colorado’s variable climate, insulation is especially important for managing extreme temperatures.

  • How do I know if I need new insulation?

    Signs you may need new or additional insulation include high utility bills, uneven temperatures between rooms, drafts, ice dams on the roof, and visible deterioration of existing insulation. If your home feels uncomfortable or your HVAC system runs constantly, it may be time for an upgrade.


  • How much money can insulation save me?

    Energy savings depend on your current insulation levels, the size of your home, and your heating and cooling habits. On average, homeowners can save up to 20% on energy bills after upgrading insulation.

  • Do you provide free consultations?

    Yes. Sprayfoam Solutions LLC offers free consultations and estimates. We assess your property, explain options, and recommend the best solution for your needs and budget.

Fiberglass Insulation Questions

  • Why choose fiberglass bat insulation?

    Fiberglass is affordable, widely available, and effective when installed with care. It works well in walls, ceilings, and attics, providing reliable thermal protection at a competitive cost.


  • Does fiberglass insulation settle over time?

    No. Fiberglass bat insulation does not shrink or settle when installed properly. It maintains performance for decades.


  • Is fiberglass insulation fire-resistant?

    Yes. Fiberglass is naturally non-combustible, which adds a layer of safety to your home or business.


  • Can fiberglass insulation be combined with other insulation types?

    Yes. Fiberglass can be used alongside spray foam or blow-in insulation as part of a hybrid system to balance cost and performance.


Blow-In Insulation Questions

  • What is blow-in insulation best for?

    Blow-in insulation is ideal for attics, wall cavities, and hard-to-reach spaces. It provides seamless coverage and can be installed quickly with minimal disruption.


  • How long does blow-in insulation last?

    Blow-in insulation typically lasts 20–30 years. It may settle slightly over time but remains effective when installed to recommended depths.

  • Can blow-in insulation be installed over existing insulation?

    Yes. Blow-in insulation can be added on top of old insulation to boost R-value and improve performance.

  • Is blow-in insulation messy?

    No. Our team uses specialized equipment to install blow-in insulation cleanly and efficiently.

Attic Insulation Questions

  • Why is attic insulation important in Colorado?

    Because heat rises, attics are one of the largest sources of energy loss. Without proper insulation, your home can lose up to 25% of its energy through the roof. Insulating the attic reduces this loss and helps prevent ice dams in the winter.

  • How much attic insulation do I need?

    In Colorado’s climate, we generally recommend R-49 to R-60 insulation levels for attics to maximize efficiency.

  • How do I know if my attic is under-insulated?

    If insulation is level with or below your joists, it may not be sufficient. Other signs include high energy bills, uneven temperatures, and drafts.

New Construction Insulation Questions

  • Do you work with builders on new construction projects?

    Yes. Sprayfoam Solutions LLC partners with builders and contractors to install insulation in new homes and commercial buildings. We provide efficient scheduling and high-quality results.

  • What type of insulation is best for new construction?

    Spray foam offers the highest performance, but fiberglass and blow-in insulation are also excellent options depending on budget and project requirements.

  • Can insulation help pass energy code inspections?

    Yes. Our insulation services are designed to meet or exceed Colorado energy codes and help achieve strong blower door test results.
