Garage Insulation Contractor in Chicago, IL

Your garage is more than just a place to park cars or store toolboxes—it’s a vital entryway that can impact energy efficiency throughout the envelope of your home. This especially impacts our region as we are a part of climate zone 5 here in Northern Illinois, where temperature fluctuations and windy weather are the norm.

Eco Tec Insulation has over 20 years of experience installing spray foam, blown-in cellulose, and fiberglass insulation all over Chicago, making us the go-to expert for well-insulated garages.

Why Garage Insulation Matters

ENERGY EFFICIENCY, LONGEVITY, PEST CONTROL

In the Windy City—where the January low averages at only 18.8°F—frozen pipes are a major concern. Freezing temperatures can quickly cause the water supply to expand, leading to cracked and burst pipes that cause water damage and are difficult to repair. Instead, prevent frozen pipes before they become an issue by investing in Eco Tec Insulation’s expert insulation and repair services.

Temperature control

The right insulation helps your garage stay warmer during winter and cooler during summer, providing safe storage for temperature-sensitive items and allowing you to use the space comfortably year-round. Consistency throughout your home also reduces overall energy costs.

Improved safety

Garages are more than just extra space—often housing electrical wiring, HVAC equipment, and other vital home systems. Proper insulation helps them run efficiently while adding protection, and can also prevent carbon monoxide from seeping into living spaces during emergencies.

Pest control

From guarding against nesting mice to preventing bug infestations, proper insulation helps keep unwanted visitors outside.

Security And Protection

Whether it's a treasured vehicle or construction materials, a well-insulated garage protects your belongings from humidity, extreme weather conditions, and pests.

Energy efficiency

Uninsulated garages increase your entire home's energy consumption by 10-20%, leading to much higher utility bills. Insulating your garage helps stabilize and maintain temperatures in rooms beside or above the garage.

Comprehensive Insulation Options For Garages

Spray Foam Insulation

Dramatically Decreases Heating and Cooling Costs
Spray foam creates an airtight seal that minimizes heat loss in the winter and heat gain in the summer. By preventing air leaks, your HVAC system runs more efficiently, often reducing energy costs by up to 40%.
Environmentally Friendly
Modern spray foam formulations are designed with low-VOC and non-ozone-depleting agents, helping to reduce your carbon footprint while improving indoor air quality.
Reduces Airborne Noises
The dense, closed-cell structure of spray foam dampens sound transmission through walls, floors, and ceilings, creating a quieter and more comfortable living space.
Eliminates Contaminants
The spray foam seals even the smallest cracks and gaps, spray foam insulation prevents dust, pollen, and other outdoor pollutants from entering your home, improving indoor air health.
Prevents Insects From Getting Into Your Home
The seamless barrier created by spray foam makes it difficult for pests like ants, spiders, and rodents to find entry points, providing long-term protection.
Stops The Growth Of Mold and Mildew
Spray foam’s moisture-resistant properties prevent water vapor from penetrating walls and ceilings, reducing the risk of mold and mildew growth in your garage.

Fiberglass Batts Insulation

Quick installation
Fiberglass batts are pre-cut panels that fit easily between wall studs, joists, and rafters, allowing for fast and efficient installation with minimal disruption.
Soundproofing
Fiberglass fibers naturally absorb sound waves, helping to reduce noise transmission between rooms and from outside sources.
Energy Efficient
When properly installed, fiberglass batts provide excellent thermal resistance (R-value), helping maintain consistent indoor temperatures year-round.
Lower Energy Bills
By keeping conditioned air inside and unconditioned air out, fiberglass insulation helps reduce the load on your heating and cooling systems, lowering monthly utility costs.

Blown-In Cellulose Insulation

Save Money On Energy Bills
Cellulose insulation fills every cavity and hard-to-reach space, reducing air leakage and heat transfer for significant savings on heating and cooling costs.
Reduced Condensation
Because cellulose insulation helps regulate humidity and prevents warm air from meeting cold surfaces, it reduces the risk of condensation that can damage walls and ceilings.
Fire Protection
Cellulose is treated with natural fire retardants like borate, providing an added layer of safety by slowing the spread of flames.
Quick and Easy Installation
Eco Tec’s installers blow cellulose insulation into the attic space or wall cavities within hours, with minimal mess and disruption to your home.
Soundproofing
The dense composition of cellulose fibers helps absorb airborne and impact noises, improving overall acoustic comfort.
Quick Return On Investment
The energy savings from cellulose insulation often pay for the installation cost within just a few years, making it an economical and long-term home improvement choice.

Our Personalized Garage Insulation Process

1. Inspection

First, we’ll take the time to inspect your garage, checking walls and ceilings thoroughly. This allows us to identify and plan around present air leaks, drafts, or moisture concerns that could impact performance.

2. Preparation

Before installation, we carefully clear out old/damaged insulation and any obstructions. We can then seal any cracks and gaps to create a solid foundation for new insulation.

3. Installation

With our new thermal results, our experts can interpret data for heat loss zones, ambient temperature anomalies, and more.

4. Settling & Ventilation

The valuable data we collect and analyze is delivered via easy-to-read visual overlays. We can then use this data to recommend insulation upgrades, sealing gaps, and HVAC system improvements.

5. Final Inspection

We finish with a detailed walkthrough, verifying coverage, sealing, and compliance with Chicago building codes. We will take photos after completion and clean up the job site thoroughly.
