Residential insulation
Insulation helps your home hold a steadier temperature through high-desert summers and cold winter nights. Omni works with New Mexico homeowners and builders on remodels and new construction.
Why insulation matters
Most homes lose and gain heat through the attic, walls, and floors. Insulation slows that movement, so the temperature you set is easier to keep.
In New Mexico, that matters in both directions. Strong sun and hot afternoons push heat in during summer; cold, clear nights pull it out in winter.
Fewer hot upstairs rooms, cold corners, and drafty spots from one room to the next.
A home that feels more even from morning to evening, without constant thermostat changes.
Less heat moving through the building envelope can mean less energy spent heating and cooling.
When the house holds its temperature better, your furnace and air conditioning don’t have to work as hard.
Where insulation can help
Every house is different. These are common places to look when a home is uncomfortable or uses more energy than expected.
Often the biggest opportunity. Summer heat builds up overhead, and warm air rises and escapes in winter.
Walls that face the afternoon sun or winter wind can make nearby rooms noticeably warmer or colder.
The layer between living space and an unconditioned attic or roof has a direct effect on rooms below.
Where a home has a crawlspace, the floor above it can be a source of cold floors and drafts.
Walls and ceilings between a garage and living space, including rooms built above a garage.
Open walls during a remodel or a new addition are a natural time to plan insulation.
These are general examples. Omni will confirm which areas and which approach, blown-in or batt insulation, are right for your home after learning about the property.
New and existing homes
The work looks different before the drywall goes up than it does in a finished home. Both deserve careful planning.
New construction
For homeowners and builders, insulation is planned around the framing schedule and installed while walls and ceilings are still open.
Remodels
For remodels of existing homes, the work starts with what you’re changing or noticing: rooms that won’t stay comfortable, high bills, or an attic that needs attention.
