Whether it’s the first touch of morning chill on the floor or waking up to the sweltering heat of summer, we’ve all felt the impact of the seasons in our homes. However, most homeowners don’t realize that the comfort of a home doesn’t have to be compromised by the outside elements. Cold drafts, icy floors, and hot spots can all be prevented with quality home insulation and air sealing.
At ARC Insulation, we’ve insulated over 30,000 homes throughout Chicagoland since 1993, making us one of the most knowledgeable and experienced insulation contractors in the area. We believe your home should be a place of comfort all year round, and we can help by providing the highest-quality insulation services available.
Why Home Insulation Is Important
Proper home insulation is essential for maintaining a comfortable living environment, reducing energy costs, and improving indoor air quality. Here are just a few of the many benefits home insulation can provide:
- Energy Efficiency – Insulation helps to keep your home warm in the winter and cool in the summer, reducing the need for constant heating and cooling. This leads to significant energy savings and lower utility bills.
- Comfort – A well insulated home maintains a consistent indoor temperature, eliminating cold drafts and hot spots. This ensures a comfortable living space year-round.
- Noise Reduction – Insulation acts as a sound barrier, reducing noise from outside and between rooms, creating a quieter and more peaceful home.
- Moisture Control – Insulation helps prevent moisture buildup, which can quickly lead to mold growth and structural damage if left unaddressed.
Insulation + Air Sealing = Total Protection
For optimal home performance, combining insulation with air sealing is essential. While insulation protects against heat transfer in your home, air sealing prevents drafts and uncontrolled airflow, ensuring ultimate protection from the elements. At ARC Insulation, we use advanced air sealing techniques to create a tight building envelope.
Where to Insulate & Air Seal Your Home
At ARC Insulation, we offer a variety of insulation options to suit every need and budget. We only use high-quality materials and our expert team will help you choose the best type of insulation for your home. Proper insulation should be installed in various areas of your home to maximize energy efficiency and comfort. Key areas to consider include:
- Attic Insulation – Prevents heat loss in the winter and heat gain in the summer, reducing the workload on your HVAC system and saving on energy costs.
- Basement Insulation – Improves your home’s overall energy efficiency while providing moisture control and preventing mold growth.
- Walls – Properly insulated walls help maintain a consistent indoor temperature and reduce noise transmission between rooms.
- Floors – Insulating floors, especially above unconditioned spaces like garages, can improve comfort and energy efficiency by preventing heat loss and cold floors.
- Garage Insulation – Whether your garage is attached or detached from your home, insulation can help transform the area into a comfortable, usable space.

Very, very happy with the results!
“My wife and I moved into a townhouse which was built in the year 2000. One would think that such a relatively new home would be somewhat energy efficient, but unfortunately, that was not the case. Our master bedroom (located above our attached garage) had ice-cold floors, and the attic above our main living area was a poorly insulated sieve of air leakage. I hired ARC Insulation to “weatherize” our home because I am a home inspector and I recognized their leadership and status in the local insulation industry. Their crew of 3 came in and diligently sealed every single crack and crevice in our attic, installed airtight covers over the 25 or so can lights in our ceiling, and added a foot and a half of lovely, fluffy cellulose insulation on the attic floor. They also pumped the same insulation under high pressure into the drafty space between our master bedroom/bathroom floor and the garage ceiling below. The results were nothing short of amazing. The wintertime temperature of the master suite floor went from 40F to nearly 70F, and our furnace runs about half as often as it did prior to their work. I don't hesitate to recommend this company to friends, family, and home inspection clients. We are very, very happy with the results!”
