Reviews from our customers over 48 years

Nealon did an outstanding job in terms of courteous services, as their team members, as well as Chris who was responsible for directing the job, were most professional!!! They cleaned up nicely, and my goods remained intact. Also and happily stated, it’s been one week since they’ve installed insulation in our home, and we notice a huge difference in the amount of energy we are using for heating…which equates to $avings!!! In short, we’d use them again, and glad we chose them for this endeavor!!!

Dia CJW

Highly recommended. Their estimate was competitive, the work was done in a timely and clean manner, they explained what was done, and our house is warmer as we head into the winter. When we had a question, they came back out to talk with us and helped us answer our questions. I will use them again and recommend them to anyone.

Ariyanakylstram

They are an amazing company to do work with! Jen in the office is polite, pleasant, and very competent. The work was done well and very quickly. We had our attic and basement insulated. I would 100% recommend!

Timothy Saunders

The Nealon team was professional and considerate of my property. I noticed a 200-kilo watt decrease in my electric bill along with an additional savings in oil consumption of 50 gallons. No more drafty cellars and so far, the mice have gone elsewhere.

Insulation Showdown:
Cellulose vs. Fiberglass vs. Spray Foam

Not sure which insulation is right for your home? We broke it down across the stuff that actually matters

Cellulose
Fiberglass
Spray Foam
Price
Cellulose
Fiberglass
Spray Foam
Price
Budget-friendly and big on value. If you're watching your wallet but want solid performance, cellulose punches above its price point.
Price
Usually the cheapest up front. It’s the fast-food of insulation—quick, easy, and gets the job done when you need coverage on a budget.
Price
The priciest option, no doubt. But you’re paying for premium performance—air sealing, moisture control, and longevity all rolled into one.
Value for Money
Cellulose
Fiberglass
Spray Foam
Value of Money
Great bang for your buck. It’s dense, fills cavities well, and delivers impressive thermal and sound performance without breaking the bank.
Value of Money
Low cost, decent results—especially in large, easy-to-reach areas like attics. Less effective in tricky or drafty spots.
Value of Money
High cost, high reward. Seals air leaks, boosts structural strength, and doesn’t degrade. It’s the long game option.
Energy Efficiency
Cellulose
Fiberglass
Spray Foam
Energy Efficiency (R-Value)
Performs well when packed right, especially in attics and walls. Not the king of R-value, but no slouch either.
Energy Efficiency (R-Value)
Moderate R-value per inch. Does the job, but air leaks can drag it down if not installed with care.
Energy Efficiency (R-Value)
The heavyweight champ. Closed-cell foam delivers top-tier R-values and acts like a windbreaker for your entire house.
Eco-Friendliness
Cellulose
Fiberglass
Spray Foam
Eco-Friendliness
Made from recycled paper and low-energy to produce. If you like hugging trees (or just saving them), this is your pick.
Eco-Friendliness
It’s improved over the years, but still uses more energy and raw materials than cellulose. Not exactly green, but not toxic either.
Eco-Friendliness
Not the most eco-friendly to make, but what it saves in energy over time helps balance the scales. Especially good if you're sealing an older, leaky home.
Soundproofing
Cellulose
Fiberglass
Spray Foam
Soundproofing
Dense and heavy—great for cutting down on noise. Ideal if you’ve got thin walls or noisy neighbors.
Soundproofing
Pretty solid at muffling sound, especially in interior walls and ceilings. Think of it like a decent pair of earmuffs.
Soundproofing
Closed-cell is more about sealing than sound, but open-cell foam offers good acoustic dampening. Best when you need both thermal and noise control.
Mold & Pest Resistence
Cellulose
Fiberglass
Spray Foam
Mold & Pest Resistance
Treated with borate, which repels bugs and mold. Just make sure it stays dry, or it can get funky.
Mold & Pest Resistance
Doesn’t feed mold, but doesn’t stop it either. If it gets wet, it needs replacing. Pests sometimes burrow right through.
Mold & Pest Resistance
Tight seal = no welcome mat for pests or moisture. Mold hates it, bugs can’t chew it. The fortress option.
Longevity
Cellulose
Fiberglass
Spray Foam
Longevity
Lasts 20–30 years when installed right. Might settle a bit over time, so good air sealing is key.
Longevity
Can last decades if it stays dry and undisturbed. But it’s prone to sagging and shifting if not handled carefully.
Longevity
Built to outlast your roof. No settling, no sagging, no fuss. Just quiet, efficient performance year after year.

Homeowners who want high performance, eco-friendly insulation that keeps pests out and bills down.

Frequently Asked Questions?

How do I know if my home needs more insulation?

You may need more insulation if your home feels drafty, rooms have uneven temperatures, or energy bills are high. Visible attic joists, cold floors, and constantly running HVAC systems are key signs. Nealon Insulation offers free assessments to identify and fix under-insulated areas.

What are the main areas in a house that should be insulated?

The most important areas to insulate in a Connecticut home are the attic, exterior walls, basement or crawl space, and rim joists. These zones prevent heat loss, control moisture, and reduce energy bills. Nealon Insulation customizes solutions to target the biggest energy leaks for maximum comfort.

How long does insulation installation take?

Most insulation jobs are completed in one day, depending on home size and insulation type. Attics take a few hours, while walls or crawl spaces may take longer if air sealing or removal is needed. Nealon Insulation provides a clear schedule and finishes with minimal disruption.

What is an R-Value?

R-Value measures how well insulation resists heat flow. Higher R-values mean better insulation performance—keeping heat in during winter and out in summer. It’s essential for energy efficiency, especially in Connecticut’s climate. Different areas of your home require different R-values based on code and comfort needs.

What R-Value is recommended for the Connecticut area?

In Connecticut, R-49 to R-60 is recommended for attics, R-13 to R-21 for walls, and R-19 to R-30 for floors or crawl spaces. These values follow Department of Energy guidelines for Zones 5 and 6. Nealon Insulation helps meet or exceed these standards for comfort and code compliance.

What insulation products does Nealon Insulation use?

Nealon Insulation uses cellulose, fiberglass, and spray foam to match different homes and budgets. Each product is selected for goals like energy efficiency, soundproofing, or eco-friendliness. With nearly 50 years of experience, Nealon recommends the best solution for long-term comfort and savings.

Can you be home when the insulation is installed?

Yes, you can stay home during insulation installation. The process is quick and minimally invasive, with equipment that controls dust and debris. Our team works efficiently and respects your space, so you can continue your day without disruption.

How do we remove insulation in an attic space?

To remove attic insulation, batt insulation is bagged, sealed, and hauled out by hand. Blown-in insulation is removed using a HEPA vacuum system, which sucks the material through a hose into sealed bags outside the home for safe disposal.

What if I don’t know what is existing in my walls, can you find out?

Yes, we would first ask when your house is built as that is a determining factor. Building codes started in 1971 in Connecticut so anything prior most times is empty unless renovated, but in between years may so we can provide you with a wall test. This is where we would remove a couple rows of siding or pieces of clapboard, drill a 2 1/8” hole to see what is inside and replace the siding. We can add here, we usually charge $150 for a wall test, which we would credit to the job if they were in need of insulation and went with us. You can also choose to get an energy audit to have a blow-door test to find out your insulation needs. This is related to the insulation rebates available and more information can be found at energizect.com.

Is there an insulation rebate available?

Yes, you can visit energizect.com for more information on the current available programs. Qualified homes can currently receive $1.70 per square foot rebate on attics, walls, garage ceilings (with room above) and rim joists, along with an $.80 per square foot rebate on basements and crawls. This rebate can vary, so check the website for the latest information.

Is there an insulation tax credit available?

Yes, you can claim a 30% tax credit for the products purchased and installed, up to a $1,200 maximum credit. See your tax preparer for details.

What other services does Nealon Insulation provide?

In addition to insulation installation, we offer a full range of services to improve your home’s comfort and efficiency. That includes insulation removal, air sealing, and duct sealing and insulation. We also install ridge vents, gable vents, soffit vents, and roof vents to improve attic ventilation. For basements and crawl spaces, we offer rim joist insulation and full crawl space encapsulation to keep out moisture, pests, and drafts. Not sure what you need? We also provide energy assessments to identify problem areas and recommend the right solution for your home.
