Insulation has strong and growing demand driven by high energy costs, aging housing stock with inadequate insulation, and increasing homeowner awareness of efficiency incentives. Homeowners who call about insulation are motivated by one of three things: high utility bills, an energy audit that flagged inadequate insulation, or a renovation that exposed old or missing material. Each of these motivations produces a high-intent lead who is ready to schedule an assessment and move forward.
