Customer Reviews
Discover why Farnum Insulators is the #1 top-rated insulation company in Southeastern VT & Southwestern NH!
“Farnum insulated my 1820s home, starting with the basement, which now stays around 64°F—even during single-digit days. After roof insulation, my upstairs bedrooms are 4-6°F warmer, and the house heats up much faster. The crew was polite, efficient, and left everything spotless. I’ll definitely work with them again for future projects!”

Cellulose Insulation
Cellulose is a great insulation material with a high R-value. It’s treated against fire, mold and pests as well as being made from recycled material. We can work in new or existing structures and we’ll help you choose the most cost-effective and non-invasive methods to meet your insulation needs.

Foam Insulation
Sometimes cellulose isn’t the best option. Damp basements, rim boards and some wall cavities are best insulated using this amazing spray-on foam. With high R-value, an ability to expand into a space and airtightness, we’ll advise you on which insulation is best for you.
