Ceiling Framing Is Accessible
When ceiling joists are exposed during construction or renovation, batt insulation can be installed quickly and effectively.
Basement or Garage Ceilings Need Insulation
Batt insulation works well in ceilings that separate conditioned living spaces from unconditioned areas.

Frequently Asked Questions?
How do I know if batt insulation is the right option for my home?
Choose batt insulation for areas with open framing cavities, such as walls, ceilings, and floors, where insulation can fit evenly between studs or joists. It is ideal for renovations, basement finishing, garage ceilings, or wall upgrades. A professional inspection ensures batt insulation provides proper coverage and performance for your home.
Where is batt insulation typically installed in homes?
Install batt insulation in wall cavities, between ceiling joists, and in floors separating conditioned and unconditioned spaces. Common applications include basement ceilings, garage ceilings, exterior walls, and interior soundproofing. Standard-width batts provide consistent thermal coverage when correctly fitted within framed spaces.
Can batt insulation be installed in an existing home?
Install batt insulation in an existing home during remodeling, wall, or ceiling openings. It works well for kitchen renovations, basement finishing, or drywall replacement. If walls remain closed, use alternative methods like blown-in insulation. A contractor can assess the home to determine if batt installation is feasible without major disruption.
Does batt insulation help lower heating and cooling costs?
Lower heating and cooling costs by installing batt insulation, which slows heat transfer through walls, ceilings, and floors. Properly installed or upgraded insulation helps HVAC systems maintain stable indoor temperatures more efficiently. Increased insulation levels often improve comfort and reduce energy usage, especially in regions with cold winters and humid summers.
How long does batt insulation installation take?
Complete batt insulation installation within a day for small projects like garage or basement ceilings. Larger projects involving multiple rooms, wall cavities, or renovations may take longer. Professional installers evaluate the space, prepare cavities, install insulation carefully, and ensure proper coverage before finishing the project.
Do air leaks need to be sealed before installing batt insulation?
Seal air leaks before installing batt insulation to prevent conditioned air from escaping through gaps around wiring, plumbing, lights, or framing joints. Addressing leaks first ensures insulation performs effectively, maximizing energy efficiency and comfort throughout the home.
What types of batt insulation are available?
Choose batt insulation made from fiberglass for cost-effective thermal resistance or mineral wool for denser coverage, enhanced sound dampening, and fire resistance. Select the material based on the area being insulated, desired performance, and home structure to optimize efficiency and safety.
Will installing batt insulation disrupt daily life in my home?
Minimize disruption during batt insulation installation by working in unfinished areas like basements, garages, or open framing. Professional installers operate within framing cavities using standard methods that do not require major structural changes. Homeowners can typically remain in the house while the work is completed efficiently.
Reviews from our customers over 48 years
Nealon did an outstanding job in terms of courteous services, as their team members, as well as Chris who was responsible for directing the job, were most professional!!! They cleaned up nicely, and my goods remained intact. Also and happily stated, it’s been one week since they’ve installed insulation in our home, and we notice a huge difference in the amount of energy we are using for heating…which equates to $avings!!! In short, we’d use them again, and glad we chose them for this endeavor!!!
Highly recommended. Their estimate was competitive, the work was done in a timely and clean manner, they explained what was done, and our house is warmer as we head into the winter. When we had a question, they came back out to talk with us and helped us answer our questions. I will use them again and recommend them to anyone.
They are an amazing company to do work with! Jen in the office is polite, pleasant, and very competent. The work was done well and very quickly. We had our attic and basement insulated. I would 100% recommend!
The Nealon team was professional and considerate of my property. I noticed a 200-kilo watt decrease in my electric bill along with an additional savings in oil consumption of 50 gallons. No more drafty cellars and so far, the mice have gone elsewhere.
Fast, efficient and great price! Didn’t even notice them insulating our attic and making a big difference already! Would highly recommend for anyone that wants to cut down on their energy bill!!
