NEW LENOX, IL – November 03, 2025 – PRESSADVANTAGE –

South Chicago Insulation, LLC has announced the expansion of its residential and commercial insulation services in Schaumburg, IL, throughout the region. The company, which has operated in the Chicago metropolitan area, confirmed that the expansion became effective this month, extending its availability to property owners seeking insulation installation and upgrade services. The expansion addresses increased demand for energy efficiency improvements in both residential and commercial buildings. According to the U.S. Department of Energy, heating and cooling account for approximately 50 to 70 percent of the energy used in the average American home, making proper insulation one of the most cost-effective ways to reduce energy consumption.

Proper insulation can cut heating and cooling costs by about 15%, according to the EPA, and comprehensive air sealing and insulation improvements can lower energy bills by up to 20%. This has increased interest among property owners in upgrades. The North American Insulation Manufacturers Association notes that roughly 90% of U.S. single-family homes are under-insulated, often because they were built before modern energy codes or have aging insulation. Proper insulation services could save homeowners an average of $200 per year.

Bob Gasca, owner of South Chicago Insulation, LLC in Schaumburg, IL, explained the rationale behind the expansion. “We have seen consistent requests from property owners in areas we previously could not serve efficiently. This expansion allows us to respond to that demand while maintaining the same service standards. The timing aligns with the period when many property owners evaluate their energy efficiency needs before the heating season.”

Building codes have raised recommended insulation levels over the past two decades. The International Energy Conservation Code (IECC) sets R-values, which measure thermal resistance, with higher numbers indicating better insulation. Recommendations vary by climate; northern regions require higher R-values. In Chicago, current codes suggest R-49 to R-60 for attics, R-13 to R-21 for walls, and R-25 to R-30 for floors above unheated spaces. Many older homes, especially pre-1980, fall short.

Insulation improves indoor comfort and air quality. The American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers notes that proper insulation helps maintain steady indoor temperatures and reduces heating and cooling cycles, which can extend equipment life and lower maintenance. Moisture control is also critical. The Building Science Corporation highlights that insulation should include vapor barriers and air sealing to prevent moisture accumulation, which can cause mold, wood rot, and reduced insulation performance.

Commercial buildings face similar challenges. The U.S. Energy Information Administration reports that commercial properties use about 18% of U.S. energy. Insulation upgrades can reduce costs and improve tenant comfort, potentially affecting property value and lease rates.

Recent developments in insulation include spray foam, which expands to seal gaps and offers higher R-value per inch. Fiberglass and cellulose remain widely used due to lower cost and established installation methods. Proper installation is essential; the Oak Ridge National Laboratory notes that mistakes like compressed batts or gaps can reduce effectiveness by 15–50%. Professional installers ensure correct coverage and technique.

Financial incentives also drive demand. Federal tax credits cover a percentage of qualified insulation costs, often requiring minimum R-values and certified installation. State and utility rebates provide additional savings. Municipalities in the Chicago area are increasingly implementing building performance standards, requiring energy assessments to cut carbon emissions from buildings, which contribute around 40% of U.S. emissions.

Property owners usually start with an energy assessment, using tools like infrared cameras and blower doors to identify heat loss. Recommendations prioritize cost-effectiveness, measured as energy savings per dollar spent. Payback periods vary by climate, existing insulation, energy prices, and material choice, typically ranging from two to eight years for homes. Commercial projects have different economics based on size, use, and rates.

The Joint Center for Housing Studies reports that spending on residential improvements reached billions in 2023, with energy efficiency growing as a segment. An aging housing stock and increased millennial homeownership support ongoing demand for insulation upgrades.

WINDOM, MN – November 03, 2025 – PRESSADVANTAGE –

FOAMWORX Spray Foam Insulation, a trusted Spray Foam Insulation contractor in Sioux Falls, SD, has expanded its service coverage to additional communities across the region. Owned by Ben Johnson and based in Sioux Falls, the company now provides spray polyurethane foam installation to property owners in surrounding areas, responding to increased demand for insulation services in both new construction and existing buildings.

Research from the U.S. Department of Energy indicates that heating and cooling systems account for approximately 50 to 70 percent of total energy use in typical American homes. The department’s data shows that proper insulation and air sealing can reduce heating and cooling costs by up to 20 percent annually. In cold climates such as South Dakota, where winter temperatures frequently fall below zero degrees Fahrenheit, adequate insulation is essential for maintaining indoor comfort and controlling energy expenses.

“We have consistently received inquiries from property owners in communities beyond our initial service radius who need professional insulation work,” said Ben Johnson, owner of FOAMWORX Spray Foam Insulation in Sioux Falls. “Expanding our coverage allows us to provide spray foam services to more customers in the region who are dealing with high heating costs and comfort issues related to inadequate insulation. The timing reflects both construction activity in the area and the number of older homes that need insulation upgrades.”

According to the National Association of Home Builders, about 64 percent of housing units in the United States were built before 1990, when insulation standards were far lower than they are today. In South Dakota, where January temperatures often range from 10 to 20 degrees Fahrenheit, many older homes lose significant heat because of poor insulation and air leaks. The North American Insulation Manufacturers Association estimates that about 90 percent of single-family homes in the country are under-insulated by modern standards.

Spray foam insulation has been used for more than 30 years in residential and commercial buildings. Closed-cell spray foam offers an R-value of about 6 to 7 per inch, while open-cell foam provides around 3.5 per inch. The higher the R-value, the better the material resists heat transfer. Fiberglass batts have an R-value between 2.9 and 3.8 per inch, but their performance drops when compressed or installed poorly. Spray foam also forms an air barrier that greatly reduces drafts. The Environmental Protection Agency reports that air leakage can account for 25 to 40 percent of heating and cooling energy loss in typical homes. Research from Oak Ridge National Laboratory shows spray foam can cut air leakage by up to 95 percent, improving energy efficiency and comfort.

In South Dakota, construction and renovation activity has expanded, particularly around Sioux Falls, where more than 5,000 new housing units were permitted in 2023. Rising energy prices have also encouraged homeowners to seek efficiency upgrades. The U.S. Energy Information Administration notes that residential natural gas prices rose about 25 percent and electricity prices about 20 percent between 2020 and 2024. Insulation improvements are among the most cost-effective ways to lower utility bills.

Good insulation also helps control moisture and improve indoor air quality. The American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers emphasizes that air sealing limits outdoor pollutants, allergens, and humidity from entering a home. In cold regions, proper air barriers prevent condensation and ice dams that can cause damage or mold. Closed-cell spray foam serves as both an air and vapor barrier, offering strong protection.

The U.S. spray foam insulation market was valued at about billions in 2023, driven by stricter energy codes and higher energy costs. In South Dakota’s severe climate, achieving the recommended attic insulation level of R-49 to R-60 often requires spray foam or combined insulation systems. With long-lasting performance and superior sealing ability, spray foam remains one of the most effective options for reducing energy loss and maintaining indoor comfort.

With Wanderboat 2.0, we’ve built the tool we all wished we had. Our AI does the tedious work of watching millions of videos, so you can focus on the fun part. It’s designed to give you that ‘in-the-know’ feeling of a local friend who points you directly to the places worth your time.”

Wanderboat 2.0’s map-centric interface provides a visual and immediate way to explore a city. Users can filter by category, such as “Rooftop Bars,” “Live Music,” or “New Restaurants,” and see the top-rated, AI-vetted spots appear in their vicinity. Each recommendation is backed by data points and visual cues that show why it was chosen, giving users the confidence to try something new. This powerful combination of social proof and intelligent filtering makes discovering exciting local events and activities an effortless and enjoyable part of the adventure.

This launch marks a significant evolution from Wanderboat’s acclaimed hotel-finding feature, expanding its powerful AI to the broader challenge of local discovery. By transforming unstructured social video into a reliable and actionable guide, Wanderboat is positioning itself as an indispensable tool for anyone looking to experience the authentic pulse of a city.
