Improve your home’s comfort and energy efficiency with professionally installed fiberglass batt insulation. Enjoy high-performance batt insulation for your attics, walls, floors, and crawl spaces, and lower your energy bills today.
Fiberglass batts remain one of the most reliable and widely used insulation solutions in residential and commercial buildings. Designed to fit framing cavities, fiberglass batts offer steady R-values, fire resistance, and long-term durability without settling over time.
Batt insulation is an ideal solution for new construction, open wall assemblies, unfinished basements, attic kneewalls, and renovation projects where access to the framing is available. When properly installed, it creates a continuous thermal barrier that helps reduce heating and cooling costs year-round.
EnergySmart uses high-quality fiberglass batt products designed to withstand NEPA’s cold winters and humid summers, ensuring your home stays comfortable while keeping energy bills low.
Common R-Values for Fiberglass Batt Installation:
- Attics: Up to R-49
- Walls: R-13 to R-21 depending on cavity depth
- Floors: Up to R-30
- Basements/Crawlspaces: R-11 to R-19

Poor Insulation Can Cost You Thousands in Energy Loss Each Year
Many homes in Northeast Pennsylvania—especially those built before the 1990s—contain aging, poorly installed, or insufficient insulation. Gaps, compression, or missing sections dramatically reduce the effectiveness of your home’s thermal barrier.
Uninsulated or poorly insulated areas lead to:
- High heating and cooling bills
- Cold floors and drafty rooms
- Overworked HVAC systems
- Moisture buildup in walls and attics
- Uneven temperatures throughout the home
If your home feels cold in the winter or too warm in the summer, insulation gaps are often the culprit. A professional evaluation can reveal exactly where batt insulation can improve your home’s comfort and energy performance.
Fiberglass Batt Insulation Is a Cost-Effective Solution for NEPA Homes
Fiberglass batts offer predictable performance and are ideal for homeowners who want an affordable insulation upgrade without major construction.
Most batts are precut to a specific thickness and height, depending on the framing and room size, to provide the optimal thermal layer between your home and the elements.
With batt insulation, EnergySmart can:
- Improve comfort by filling open framing cavities with consistent insulation coverage
- Reduce energy bills by increasing R-value in attics, crawlspaces, and walls
- Support moisture control by combining batts with proper air sealing
- Offer a long-lasting solution that does not settle or degrade over time
Batt insulation is especially effective in open and semi-open spaces, making it a great option for renovations, additions, garages, rim joists, and unfinished basements.
Fiberglass Batt Insulation in NEPA FAQs
What is fiberglass batt insulation?
Fiberglass insulation consists of fine glass fibers derived from natural materials such as sand and recycled glass products, including windows and beverage bottles. Fiberglass is the most widely used home insulator, as most older houses are filled with it, most often found between studs, in basement ceilings, and in attic roofs.
What’s the difference between fiberglass batts and rolls?
Fiberglass insulation comes in various R-values and is manufactured in batts and rolls.
Installing fiberglass in batt form is the application most homeowners consider when they think of insulation.
The product is delivered in rolls or sections cut from a roll. Kraft-faced insulation is made with a paper facing that acts as a vapor barrier. Unfaced insulation can also be used on exterior walls when a vapor barrier is added to the heated side of the wall.
How long does fiberglass insulation last?
Most fiberglass batt insulation will last 15-20 years or longer, depending on its location, moisture content, and damage. Fiberglass is not only a great energy insulator, but it also helps reduce sound transfer between rooms, soundproofing your home for you.
Are there any downsides to installing fiberglass batts?
One downside of fiberglass batt insulation is that it can be subject to mold if excess moisture is prevalent. Installing fiberglass insulation DIY can also lead to irritated and itchy skin if mishandled. For this reason, we recommend contacting the experts at EnergySmart to handle all your installation and removal needs
Which R-value is right for my home?
Fiberglass batts and rolls come in various R values, ranging from R-13 up to R-49. The higher the value, the denser and more efficient the material. For this reason, smaller rolls, such as R-13 and R-19 batts, are recommended for 2×4 or 2×6 studs, while attics may require a heavier roll, such as R-30 or R-49.
According to EnergyStar, R-49 rolls are mostly recommended for attics in places like New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and New York.
