Kokomo families deal with long, cold winters and high heating bills. We seal the gaps and upgrade the insulation so your home stays comfortable year-round without working your furnace overtime.
Kokomo Insulation is Kokomo, Indiana's locally owned insulation contractor, serving homeowners and businesses across Howard County and 11 surrounding communities. We offer 16 insulation and air sealing services built around the specific problems older Indiana homes face: cold winters, high heating bills, moisture in crawl spaces, and insulation that has settled or failed over time. Every job starts with a free on-site assessment.
Drafty walls or a leaky crawl space? Spray foam expands to fill every gap, creating an airtight seal that cuts heating and cooling loss in older Kokomo homes.

Heat rises, and an under-insulated attic is the fastest way to lose it. We bring your attic up to the R-49 to R-60 level recommended for Indiana winters.

Thin or patchy existing insulation? Blown-in material tops up your attic in hours, reaching tight corners batts cannot, with no mess and no need to move out.

Cold rooms and high gas bills in January are symptoms of the same problem. We assess your whole home and recommend the right fix for each area.

Damaged, moldy, or pest-contaminated insulation does more harm than good. We remove old material safely before installing anything new.

Kokomo clay soils trap moisture under your home. Crawl space insulation paired with air sealing stops cold air and damp from working their way up.

Can you feel cold air through an outlet on an exterior wall? Wall insulation fills those cavities without tearing into your drywall on most older homes.

Insulation slows heat. Air sealing stops it from escaping through gaps entirely. We seal around fixtures, pipes, and framing before insulation goes in.
Learn MoreReach out by phone or through our contact form. We will ask a few quick questions about your home and what you have noticed. Most Kokomo homeowners get a scheduled visit within 1 business day. There is no commitment required to get an estimate.
We come to your home and inspect the attic, crawl space, basement, or walls - wherever you have concerns. We measure what is there, check for moisture and air leaks, and explain what we found before we ever talk numbers. You get a written estimate the same day or within 1 business day.
Once you approve the estimate, we schedule the job and get it done. Most projects finish in a day. We clean up, walk you through the completed work, and hand you any documentation you need for a tax credit or utility rebate. The difference in comfort and bills is usually noticeable within the first heating or cooling cycle.
We are licensed through the Indiana Department of Homeland Security and carry full general liability coverage. We provide proof of insurance before work starts, and any project requiring a Howard County permit is handled by us.
Every estimate starts with a real visit to your home. We measure, inspect, and explain what we find in plain language. You get a written quote with line-item detail. No phone guesses, no pressure.
We are a locally owned business serving Howard County and the surrounding region. We know the housing stock here - the brick bungalows near downtown, the ranch homes on the south side, and everything in between.
Before every crew packs up, we confirm insulation depth at multiple points matches what was quoted. You get before-and-after documentation so you are not just taking our word for it.

"We had spray foam done in the crawl space and attic last fall. The first heating bill after the work was noticeably lower, and the cold spots in the back bedroom are gone. The crew was in and out in one day and left the place clean."
Randy M., Kokomo - Spray foam insulation
"I had been putting off the attic insulation for two years because I was worried about the mess and the cost. The estimate was straightforward, they were honest about what my house actually needed, and the attic job was finished in half a day. No surprises on the bill."
Diane S., Anderson - Attic insulation
"The crawl space under our 1950s home had old, soggy insulation that needed to come out. They removed it, put in a vapor barrier, and blew in new insulation the same week. The musty smell in the basement is gone and the floors feel less cold."
Tom B., Noblesville - Crawl space insulation
We respond within 1 business day. There is no obligation - just an honest look at your home and a written estimate. After you submit the form, someone from our office will call to schedule your free on-site assessment.

Most homes built before 1980 in Kokomo were insulated to standards that are well below what the Department of Energy recommends for Indiana winters today. Heat rises, and an under-insulated attic is essentially an open window at the top of your house.
The U.S. Department of Energy estimates that properly air-sealing and insulating a home can reduce heating and cooling costs by up to 15 percent. In Indiana, where winters are long and most homes heat with natural gas, those savings are real and visible on your bill.
Ice dams form when heat escaping through your attic melts snow near the roof peak, and that water refreezes at the cold eaves. The most effective long-term fix is not a roofing repair - it is attic insulation and air sealing. Learn more at the U.S. Department of Energy.
If existing insulation is water-damaged, moldy, or contaminated by pests, adding new material on top traps the problem instead of fixing it. Removal is necessary before new insulation goes in. A contractor can assess this during a free visit.
R-value measures how well insulation resists heat flow - higher is better. For attics in Indiana, the Department of Energy recommends between R-49 and R-60. That is roughly 14 to 18 inches of blown-in material. Many Kokomo homes built before 1990 fall short of that target.
Spray foam does two things at once: it insulates and seals air gaps, which makes it more effective per inch than blown-in alone. The higher upfront cost reflects that performance. For crawl spaces and rim joists in Kokomo where moisture is also a concern, closed-cell spray foam is often the more cost-effective long-term choice.
The U.S. Department of Energy Insulation Guide is the most reliable source for R-value recommendations and insulation types.
Kokomo Insulation is a licensed and insured insulation contractor based in Kokomo, IN, serving Kokomo and 11 surrounding communities in north-central Indiana since 2024.
We hold a residential contractor license through the Indiana Department of Homeland Security and carry general liability insurance on every job. We work with the Howard County Building Department on any project that requires a permit.
Since opening, we have completed insulation projects across 16 service categories - from spray foam and attic work to crawl space vapor barriers and commercial insulation - for homeowners throughout the Kokomo region.
If existing insulation is dry and intact, adding on top is usually fine and cheaper. If it is water-damaged, pest-contaminated, or heavily compressed, removal first is the right call.
Insulation slows conductive heat loss. Air sealing stops convective loss - heated air physically leaving through gaps. Skipping it means you paid for half a solution. Many older Kokomo homes lose as much heat through air movement as through conduction.
Ask for depth stakes to be placed in the attic before installation. After the job, verify the depth at multiple points. For spray foam, ask for photos and confirm coverage in the written estimate. A contractor who resists documentation is a concern.
The ENERGY STAR Seal and Insulate program provides free guidance on what to insulate first and how to find qualified contractors. If you are ready to schedule a free assessment in Kokomo, contact us here.
Kokomo is a mid-size city of around 57,000 people in Howard County, north-central Indiana. The city has a long history tied to auto parts manufacturing, and most of its housing stock dates from the 1910s through the 1960s - brick bungalows, two-story wood-frame homes, and Craftsman houses built during the manufacturing boom. Many of these homes have been owned by the same families for decades, and they share a common characteristic: insulation that has not been meaningfully upgraded since the house was built.
Kokomo sits on the flat Tipton Till Plain with heavy clay soils left behind by glaciers. That geology means water drains slowly after rain or snowmelt, which is why Wildcat Creek has flooded parts of the city before, and why so many Kokomo homeowners deal with moisture in crawl spaces and basements. The clay soils combined with Indiana freeze-thaw cycles put steady pressure on foundations and any insulation or vapor barriers below grade. The Howard County Building Department maintains local building and permit information for residents and contractors.
Kokomo is also home to landmarks like Kokomo Beach, a historic outdoor waterpark and gathering spot for local families, and the legacy of Elwood Haynes, who drove one of America's first gasoline-powered automobiles down Pumpkinvine Pike in 1894. Whether your home is near downtown, out on the south side, or in one of the newer subdivisions west of town, we serve all of Kokomo and Howard County with the same standards and the same crew.
