NEW LENOX, IL September 22, 2025 – PRESSADVANTAGE –
South Chicago Insulation, LLC has announced the expansion of its spray foam insulation services to property owners in New Lenox and surrounding areas. The move comes as contractors and building professionals across the Chicago metropolitan region observe increased demand for insulation upgrades ahead of the winter season.
Industry data shows that insulation improvements can deliver meaningful reductions in energy use. According to the U.S. Department of Energy, upgrading insulation and sealing air leaks can reduce heating and cooling costs by as much as 20 percent. For property owners, this translates into both financial savings and improved comfort during peak weather conditions.
“Expanding our services into New Lenox allows us to better meet the growing demand for efficient insulation solutions,” said Bob Gasca, owner of South Chicago Insulation. “We see more property owners taking steps to address energy performance before the coldest months arrive, and our team is prepared to support that need.”
Local contractors report that fall remains a preferred season for insulation projects due to moderate temperatures and more accessible work conditions. Spray foam application, in particular, requires stable environmental factors for proper installation. Autumn’s moderate weather creates favorable conditions that help ensure consistent performance of materials once installed.
While homeowners and commercial property managers often associate insulation upgrades with comfort, the implications extend further. Large buildings such as warehouses and industrial facilities stand to benefit significantly from improvements, as consistent indoor temperatures can reduce strain on heating systems and mitigate rising utility expenses.
Spray foam insulation has gained traction as an alternative to traditional materials such as fiberglass and cellulose. Unlike batt or blown-in insulation, spray foam expands to fill cracks and gaps, providing both thermal insulation and air sealing in a single application. This dual function makes it particularly effective in older structures where small openings caused by settling or structural shifts often contribute to energy loss.
Contractors emphasize that insulation performance should be viewed as a long-term investment in building efficiency. While immediate reductions in utility bills are often measurable, modern spray foam systems also maintain their effectiveness for decades, offering ongoing value beyond a single heating season.
Another consideration in project planning is site accessibility. Attic and exterior wall installations can be more difficult during winter months when icy conditions and snow accumulation complicate work. Fall scheduling allows contractors to complete installations safely and efficiently before severe weather becomes a limiting factor.
“Timing really matters, not just for energy savings but also for the installation process itself,” Gasca explained. “By completing work in the fall, property owners can avoid higher seasonal utility bills and reduce challenges that winter weather often creates.”
As utility rates continue to fluctuate across the Midwest, experts note that insulation improvements remain one of the most cost-effective ways for property owners to manage energy expenses. Insulation systems that combine air sealing and thermal barriers offer measurable benefits that align with broader energy conservation efforts.
With the addition of New Lenox to its service area, South Chicago Insulation aims to provide local property owners with access to professional installation and modern insulation options ahead of the peak winter heating season.
