Insulation and air sealing stabilize the temperature swings between rooms and seasons. They also quiet your house: adding standard fiberglass or mineral wool insulation to an empty interior wall typically raises the wall's sound rating by 5 to 10 STC points — and a 10-point increase reads as a 50% reduction in noise to the human ear.

Heating and cooling account for 50% to 70% of the energy used in the average American home. Studies show proper insulation and air sealing typically deliver whole-house energy savings of 10% to 20% over pre-retrofit usage — and in older homes with little or no insulation, savings can be much higher.

Rodents and pests nest in degraded insulation and travel through the same gaps that leak your heat. Removing the old material, sealing the penetrations, and installing fresh insulation closes off the nesting ground and the entry points in one job.
Insulating your home is, on average, the highest return-on-investment upgrade you can make. Here's the short history of why: in 1992, the Energy Policy Act first legislated that homes must have appropriate insulation. Then in 2012, the International Energy Conservation Code raised the bar sharply — a home built to the 2012 residential code is 32% more efficient than one built to the standard from just six years earlier.
That efficiency is money. The Southeast Energy Efficiency Alliance found it means a homeowner pockets anywhere from $218 to $1,588 each year — between $4,763 and $33,105 over the life of a typical mortgage.
If your home was built before 2012, you can likely improve your energy use greatly by updating insulation and air sealing. You wouldn't be alone: the Insulation Institute reports 89% of homes are underinsulated.

Our Story?
We started Salt City Insulation because as homeowners we were getting vague quotes, no-show crews, no real diagnosis of the problem, and crews that left our house in a complete mess.
We do it differently.
A free estimate. A clear written scope. Work grounded in building science, and a clean-up before we leave. If your project calls for something we don't install — like spray foam — we'll say so, and refer you to a trusted specialist.
Removal, air sealing, and new insulation — blown-in or batts, in cellulose, fiberglass, or rockwool. We don't install spray foam, but we can refer you to trusted spray foam specialists if that's the right fit.
