Insulation Services

It’s impossible to be comfortable in an underinsulated house! If you’re blasting the AC in the summer, cranking up the heat in the winter, and still struggling to stay comfortable, it may be time for an insulation upgrade.

Responsible House brings decades of building science and general contracting experience together to help homeowners solve complicated insulation problems. We use building science to properly control heat and air movement in a house, and we can handle complex insulation jobs that require structural changes. If you’re looking for a high-quality energy efficiency contractor that will get the job done right, we’re the company for you. 

Responsible House is where insulation and building science meet. We are a certified building analyst and we use our building science expertise to find the best home comfort and efficiency solutions for our customers. We are a small, locally owned insulation company in Central Virginia, and we are also the only building science firm in the area that installs insulation.

Attic Insulation 

You probably don’t think about your attic too often, but it has a major impact on your house’s comfort and energy efficiency.

During the summer, the sun’s heat radiates down onto your roof and conducts into your attic. Heat will always move from a warmer area to a colder one, so when you have your AC running, the heat from your attic will conduct through the attic floor and down into your living spaces. 

Spray Foam Insulation Being Applied To Attic

In the winter, the same thing happens in reverse—heat from your living spaces travels up and into your attic and then conducts out through your roof. 

Insulating and air sealing your attic will slow down this movement, keeping heat out of your house during the summer and in during the winter. Attic insulation minimizes energy waste, so you can save money on your bills and reduce your impact on the environment while making your house more comfortable to live in.   

Crawl Space Insulation and Encapsulation

Insulating your crawl space will have a positive effect on your entire home, leading to more comfortable and consistent temperatures. 

Insulating and sealing your crawl space can also significantly improve your indoor air quality. Crawl spaces are notoriously dirty, grimy places often with mold growing and pests nesting inside them. Without the proper insulation and encapsulation, contaminated air from your crawl space can rise up into your house, hurting your indoor air quality. Solve this problem from the ground up with crawl space insulation for your house.
