In Portland, the best types of insulation include fiberglass, cellulose, and spray foam. Fiberglass and cellulose are cost-effective and provide good thermal resistance. Spray foam offers superior air sealing and higher R-values, making it ideal for reducing energy costs in the variable Pacific NW climate.

Signs that your home may need more insulation include uneven temperatures between rooms, high energy bills, drafts, and walls that are cold to the touch. You might also notice ice dams forming on your roof during winter.

The cost of insulating a home in Portland varies based on the size of the home, the type of insulation used, and the areas being insulated. On average, homeowners might spend between $1,500 and $4,500 for insulation projects that improve home comfort and lower energy costs. Attic insulation tends to be less expensive than wall or crawl space insulation.
Important to note, there are often rebates and tax incentives — including the Energy Efficient Home Improvement Credit (Inflation Reduction Act) that can save up to $1,200 each year on professionally-installed insulation materials — that help lower your total cost. As part of our service, we do all we can to help you capture the savings for which you are eligible.
Yes, proper insulation can significantly reduce energy bills by improving your home’s energy efficiency. Insulation keeps warm air inside during the winter and cool air inside during the summer, reducing the need for heating and cooling. Homeowners often see a noticeable reduction in their utility bills after upgrading insulation.
The R-value measures an insulation material’s resistance to heat flow; the higher the R-value, the better the insulation’s effectiveness. In Portland, recommended R-values are R-38 to R-60 for attics, R-13 to R-23 for walls, and at least R-30 for floors. Choosing insulation with the appropriate R-value ensures optimal energy efficiency and comfort.
Insulation can last for decades, but its effectiveness can diminish over time due to factors like moisture, pests, and settling. Fiberglass and cellulose insulation typically last 20-30 years, while spray foam can last much longer. It’s recommended to check insulation every 15-20 years or if you notice signs of deterioration, such as increased energy bills or drafts.

What They Say About Us
HomeRx installed the attic insulation at a difficult site to spec, professionally, on time, as bid and left the site clean. What else could you ask for ?
Awesome work!
HomeRX and Maxwell are great. They did two projects for us, full upstairs and downstairs insulation with different products suited to each space. Then later they came back to do the attic where we had minimal flooring and shallow rafters so we didn't want to risk doing it ourselves. HomeRX are responsive, fast and good value. We passed our inspections no problem and you can feel the difference in comfort. Highly recommend.
I got tired of my cold house, so I decided I'd insulate the attic myself. I planned to tear out the old insulation, and install new rolls. Estimating that I would have to remove about 200 garbage bags of insulation alone, I figured it would take the rest of my life to complete the job. I had to come up with a new plan... I heard about the Smart Grid Test Bed collaboration, a PGE program which through their incentives would pay part of the cost, and from their website, learned about Performance insulation (HomeRx). So in February of this year (2025) I called HomeRx, and Bryan came out. He looked around, and later gave me a proposal to which I agreed. About a week later, work started. Jesús and crew came out and made short work of it. They removed the 70 year old roll and blown-in insulation, and then blew in ~18'' of new fiberglass, all in two days. Two. Ahhh...finally I was warm. But I wanted more... I had them insulate the walls. Next month they blew in cellulose insulation all the way around. Again, in two days. From start to finish, office and field crew, good job everyone. Attached are some pictures showing the truck with the bag that holds the vacuumed out old blown in, and on the lawn, the removed old roll insulation. Also shown are the suction/blow in hose running through the living room, and before (pink) and after (white) pictures of the attic, and also the wall insulating in progress.
Home Rx went above and beyond.
HomeRx recently completed a full replacement of the insulation and vapor barrier in our crawl space. This became necessary after raccoons damaged the existing materials by breaking through a foundation screen vent. I was impressed by HomeRx's professionalism, particularly their clear and comprehensive estimates. The work was performed with great attention to detail and in a consistently clean and safe manner. Any unexpected issues that arose were promptly communicated and resolved without hesitation. I would certainly use HomeRx again should the need arise in the future.
Great work. Great service. Nice people too. Don’t often say this but would definitely use HomeRx again and recommend them to anyone.
Outstanding people outstanding job. Thank you very much. I would definitely recommend these people to all my contractors.
Home RX provided insulation at my mother’s house as part of a repair for a roof leak. I had used them previously at my house and recommended them to her. They did an excellent job and were very customer oriented. I would recommend them to anyone in need of insulation services.
The crew made it very easy to work from home while they took care of replacing my old insulation with new. They even came in at half the price of my original company of choice.
I really appreciate the job that Home RX did blowing insulation into the walls of my 112-year old home from the outside. Some other insulation companies were reluctant to do it because the house has the original wood siding, but Home RX took it on and did a good job. It took them considerably longer than anticipated, but they stuck with it and didn't charge me more. The workman were considerate and cleaned up every day. Nelsin, the salesperson, was responsive to questions and phone caalls, and patient when it took me a while to collect estimates and make a decision. I would definitely use them again.
HomeRx was a pleasure to work with for my insulation needs. They were professional, prompt, and personable. The communication was great and the quality of work was as well. I would not hesitate to use them again and I highly recommend them to anyone else.
I'm so happy I found HomeRx it was useful on many levels! From the communication to the bid, to the actual work and the final payment, everything was easy to understand and all of the people were helpful. The insulation work appears to be well done and the cost was minimized by use of incentives from the Energy Trust of Oregon. Thank you, HomeRx!
We were very happy that HomeRx came right away to asess our damage after our roof leaked on Christmas day. They gave us a good quote and started work in record time. When we had a conflict in scheduling they worked with us and finished up on time.
Very professional service! Timely response to my request for a bid, got a great quote, scheduled the job. And the team was friendly, on time, explained everything, took care of my house beautifully, and cleaned up well after. Worthwhile to pick this company!!! The whole process was smooth, upfront price, and excellent quality job. I should have done this sooner. My electric bill has already seen improvement! 2 thumbs up!!!
