Evaluating the Effectiveness of Your Home Insulation
Signs Your Insulation May Need Replacing:
Persistent Unpleasant Odors
Insulation that holds onto bad smells may indicate mold or mildew, suggesting moisture problems.
Increased Allergy Symptoms
If household allergies seem to worsen, it could be due to insulation failing to block outdoor allergens effectively.
Visible Water Damage
Any signs of water damage in your insulation indicate that it's time for a replacement to prevent mold and further issues.
Unexpected Rise in Utility Bills
An unexplained increase in heating or cooling costs can signal that your insulation is no longer performing efficiently.
Heating and Cooling Difficulties
Struggling to maintain a consistent temperature in your home might mean your insulation needs to be improved.
Presence of Pests
Insulation can be a haven for pests; evidence of infestation suggests it's time to inspect and possibly replace your insulation.

Optimizing Home Insulation: Strategies for Enhanced Energy Efficiency
Mass Save® significantly reduces the cost of insulation improvements, offering 75% to 100% off, to encourage energy-efficient home upgrades. Here are effective ways to enhance your home’s insulation:
- Incorporate spray foam for insulation and air sealing, tackling leaks and improving energy efficiency in one go.
- Boost your attic’s R-value with batts or blankets for enhanced thermal retention.
- Opt for fiberglass batts and blankets, a popular and budget-friendly choice, to improve insulation throughout your home.
- Consider expanded polystyrene (EPS) for a cost-effective and efficient insulation option.
- Install foam board or rigid foam to offer substantial thermal resistance and minimize heat conduction through your home’s structure.
- Address air leaks by applying weatherproofing strips and caulking around windows and doors.
- Hang thick curtains on windows to add an extra insulation layer and reduce heat exchange.
- Eliminate drafts around doors with a door snake, an easy and effective solution.
- Seal attic air leaks to prevent warm air from escaping, which is crucial for maintaining a consistent indoor temperature.
- Use a chimney plug when the fireplace is not in use to stop warm air from exiting through the chimney.
Types of Insulation Available Through the Mass Save® Program
Blown-In Cellulose Insulation
Made from recycled paper products, cellulose insulation is an eco-friendly option blown into structural spaces to reduce heat or cold transmission. With 82% to 85% recycled content, it's green but requires professional installation due to its tendency to settle over time, potentially affecting its R-value.
Spray Foam Insulation
Offering superior insulation and air sealing, spray foam is ideal for filling tight gaps, with its moisture-resistant properties minimizing mold risks. Available in open-cell and closed-cell varieties, it adapts to any space, providing durable and efficient temperature control.
Fiberglass Batting Insulation
Fiberglass, or blanket insulation, utilizes up to 60% recycled glass, making it a common choice for walls, attics, and more. Its fibrous composition perfectly traps air and insulates large areas affordably and effectively.
Rigid Foam Insulation
Comprising polystyrene, polyisocyanurate, or polyurethane, rigid foam offers excellent insulating properties and moisture and pest resistance. It's often applied externally to minimize thermal bridging and enhance the building envelope's effectiveness.
