Insulation for Austin homes
Why Austin attics need attention.
Austin has a wide range of homes, including older houses in central neighborhoods and newer homes in the suburbs around the city. Older homes often have very little insulation and many small air leaks, while newer homes may have insulation that has settled below a comfortable depth.
We start with a free inspection, measure the insulation and check for leaks, pests and contamination. Then we give you a written quote that explains what your home needs, from added insulation to full removal, cleaning and replacement.
- Free inspection with photos of your attic
- Clear written quote before any work starts
- Average attic customer saves 20% on energy bills

Local energy facts
Insulation levels, rebates and tax credits in Austin.
Recommended R-value
Travis County is in IECC climate zone 2A. For zones 2 and 3, ENERGY STAR recommends R-49 for an uninsulated attic and R-38 when you already have 3 to 4 inches. We measure your current depth during the free visit.
Utility rebates
If Austin Energy is your electric provider: its Home Energy Savings rebate is attic sq ft × $0.03 × R-value added, plus $45, when the attic reaches R-38. The home must be at least 10 years old, and the work must be done by an Austin Energy participating contractor. If Oncor delivers your electricity: its 2026 Home Energy Efficiency program pays an incentive for bringing attic insulation to R-38 in homes with central AC or heat. It is paid through an enrolled service provider, and reports are accepted until Dec 4, 2026 or until funds run out.
Federal tax credit
The federal Energy Efficient Home Improvement Credit (25C) does not apply to insulation placed in service after December 31, 2025, so don’t plan your budget around it.

Questions
Attic insulation in Austin: FAQ
How do I know if my attic needs new insulation?
Common signs are hot upstairs rooms, an AC that runs constantly, rising energy bills, insulation you can see the joists through, and insulation that is flattened, wet or full of droppings.
Do you serve homes across Austin?
Yes. We serve homes throughout Austin and the surrounding cities. Call us with your address to schedule a free inspection.
Can you insulate an older central Austin home?
Yes. Older homes need extra care with air sealing and access, and we plan the work around your home's layout during the inspection.
Is the attic inspection really free?
Yes. We inspect the attic, show you photos of what we find and give you a written quote. There is no obligation to book.
Do you always remove the old insulation?
No. When the old insulation is contaminated, wet or badly compressed, we remove it, clean and sanitize the attic and seal air leaks first. If it is in good shape, we will tell you whether adding new insulation on top is enough.
