Insulation for San Marcos homes

Why San Marcos attics need attention.

As the Hays County seat and home of Texas State University, San Marcos has older homes near downtown, many rental properties and fast-growing new neighborhoods. Older homes and rentals often have insulation that has been neglected for years.

We inspect the attic, measure the insulation and check for air leaks, pests and contamination. Then we give you a written quote, whether you are a homeowner or managing a rental property.

Local energy facts

Insulation levels, rebates and tax credits in San Marcos.

Recommended R-value

Hays 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

Rebates depend on your electric provider. The provider name is on your bill; check its efficiency page before you start, since programs and funding change during the year.

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.
