Ranch homes feature low, long rooflines and may or may not sit on foundations. Many modern ranch homes are manufactured or modular homes that are factory-built instead of stick-built. To offer the most energy efficient, it’s important for a ranch home to be properly insulated.
A variety of options are available for insulation when it comes to a ranch house. Standard can help assess your home’s needs and provide expert solutions designed to help save money and enhance the home’s energy efficiency.
Challenges of Insulating a Ranch Home
Initially designed for warm weather climates, a variety of challenges immerged for those who encounter a variety of weather patterns due to the inadequate insulation.
But wall insulation is only the beginning of what these homes need. Improperly sealed garages and inadequate crawlspace insulation create additional airflow issues.
For example, ranch homeowners and renters experience growing electric bills, uneven temperatures throughout the home, and ice dams during winter. These issues can be solved with air duct and attic insulation, which reduces air leakage and helps the HVAC system work more effectively.

Spray foam insulation may be a great option from ranch homes, whether it’s a new construction, or updating the insulation found in a current home. Spray foam has a high R-value, which makes is excellent for boosting energy efficiency.
It also expands during application for a custom fit that fills gaps, cracks, and crevices to reduce air leakage. This insulation works well for attics, garages, crawlspaces, and more.
Another option is blown-in insulation, a cellulose-based product that’s also a Class-1 fire-retardant material. In addition to sealing cracks, blown-in insulation helps muffle ambient noises between rooms and from the outside. It’s also minimally invasive and easy to use in spots that are typically difficult to reach.
