Improve Your Home’s Insulation for Comfort & Savings
As energy costs continue to climb, more Vermont homeowners are making energy-saving improvements to their homes. One of the most impactful—and affordable—is removing old, damaged insulation and installing new spray foam insulation in strategic areas to reduce energy loss, especially in the attic.
At Vermont Foam Insulation, we’ve seen an uptick in retrofit projects, and for good reason. Whether you’re feeling the heat rise to your second floor during the summer or struggling to stay warm in the winter, adding insulation where it matters most can make an immediate and lasting difference.

Why Focus on Insulating the Attic?
Your attic is one of the most important zones for insulation. Without proper air sealing and thermal protection, your attic becomes a gateway for unwanted heat transfer, letting warm air escape in the winter and allowing scorching heat to infiltrate upstairs rooms in the summer.
Retrofitting your attic with high-performance spray foam or cellulose insulation:
- Stabilizes second-floor temperatures
- Eliminates uncomfortable drafts
- Reduces summer heat gain
- Improves indoor air quality and moisture control
- Lowers heating and cooling costs
For homes with older or underperforming insulation, attic upgrades are often the most cost-effective first step toward a more comfortable and energy-efficient living space.
Don’t Forget About Basement and Crawl Space Insulation
While the attic is often the top priority for retrofit insulation, don’t overlook your basement or crawl space.
These lower parts of the home are major sources of heat loss and moisture problems. Properly insulating your basement or crawl space helps prevent cold floors, improves indoor air quality, and creates a more stable thermal envelope, making the whole house feel warmer in winter and cooler in summer. Upgrading these areas can also qualify for rebates and contribute to your overall energy savings.
