Garage Insulation for Improved Energy Efficiency in Connecticut
If your garage is not weatherproofed, it can turn into a freezer during the winter, and a sauna into the summer, causing harm to the equipment and pipes. Your HVAC system can’t maintain temperatures if the garage is unable to retain warm air. Insulation can maintain your garage temperature as it decreases the loss of conditioned air and stops cold air from getting in.
Most of the garages in CT homes are connected to living spaces. Having an attached garage means it has a thermal connection with living spaces.
There’s a strong probability that insufficient garage insulation is negatively reducing your home comfort and costing you higher energy bills. Garage insulation can be a game-changer improving comfort and energy efficiency in the rest of your home.
At Green Apple Spray Foam, we can insulate (or reinsulate) your garage for improved energy efficiency. We can also insulate and air seal the wall between the garage and your living space to make your home comfortable and warmer.
A few garages have a bonus room or a bedroom above them. Living space above means there should be insulated below. We can insulate your garage ceiling making the living room above convenient and warmer.
Sometimes a leaky roof or window can add moisture to your garage and damage insulation. We can help seal all gaps around doors and windows to keep drafts out. Addressing moisture problems effectively can improve the lifespan and efficiency of your insulation.

Benefits of Garage Insulation
Reduced Utility Bills
If your attached garage is uninsulated, you could lose lots of heat from your house. Similarly, in summer, the heat from outside can easily infiltrate your garage. The temperature changes can impact the comfort of your attached living spaces causing higher energy bills. If your garage is properly insulated, it can reduce your utility bills and save you money.
Soundproofing
Soundproofing your garage is important if you live on a noisy street. Certain types of insulation can absorb the sounds resulting in a quieter and a more peaceful garage. Similarly, if you work with machines and tools or like to play music in your garage, insulation can reduce the sound waves going out of the garage. Similarly, if the common wall between your garage and living space is insulated, it can stop the noise from entering your main living space.
Protection for your Vehicles
Extremely cold weather can damage your cars. If your garage is not insulated, you can expect common problems, such as failure of battery, engine seizure, heating issues, and paint peel-off. An insulated garage will protect your vehicles against these and many more problems.
Improved Safety
Your vehicles emit carbon monoxide gas, which is odorless and deadly. In the absence of proper insulation and air sealing, carbon emissions can end up in your living space. Insulation can ensure the safety of your home.
Create a Multipurpose Space
Garage insulation increases the ways in which your garage can be used. Instead of merely a place for vehicle storage, your garage can be a comfortable workout or a play area, a home office or your workshop.
Consistent Home Temperature
Proper garage insulation can make your living spaces more comfortable. An uninsulated garage can bring cold air inside your home resulting in drafty rooms and higher energy bills. Garage insulation can improve energy efficiency and comfort in your home.
Increase Home Value
An insulated garage can increase your home value. It is a desirable feature for potential buyers and might result in attracting better ROI.
Types of Insulation Products
Our insulation company can help you make the right choice for your unique situation,
based on your needs and budget, with options that include:
Spray Foam Insulation
Spray foam insulation in the garage results in noise reduction, lesser utility bills, an effective moisture barrier, and a reduced carbon footprint.
Fiberglass Insulation
Fiberglass insulation is available in two types, loose-fill, and batt. The most common way of installing fiberglass in garages is to blow it in finished walls and ceilings or install batt in open walls and ceiling joists.
Cellulose Insulation
It is loose-fill insulation made up of recycled newspaper and treated for fire prevention. It can be blown in and settle into tight spaces in the finished walls and ceilings.
What People Say
Every time you hear the heat kick, or the air conditioning start up again, its costing you money.
Where in a Home Garage Do We Insulate?
Garage Ceilings
The garage ceiling needs to be insulated if there’s a room above the garage. In the absence of insulation in the garage ceiling, the living space above the garage will be extremely cold in winter and hot in summer. The lack of insulation in the garage ceiling can waste lots of energy. We can also air seal the garage to prevent harmful auto emissions from entering the living space above.
Garage Walls
If a garage is attached to your living space, the common wall between the garage and your living rooms needs to be insulated. Insulating this wall ensures energy efficiency and better comfort for the rest of your home.
Signs Your Garage Needs Insulation
If you’re not sure whether your garage needs more insulation than it already has, you should consider whether or not these signs sound familiar:
Rooms adjacent to the garage are drafty or uncomfortable when the weather is intense.
Your garage is insufferably cold or hot throughout the year.
You have a problem with mold and mildew in your garage or in parts of your home adjacent to your garage.
The attached garage affects the air inside your home with fumes, odors and gases.
