Rental properties lose heat through under-insulated attics and walls more than almost any other building type. Tenants complain about bills. You lose good tenants. Adding or upgrading insulation is one of the highest-ROI upgrades a landlord can make — especially at wholesale pricing.

Why rental properties are usually under-insulated

Older construction (pre-1990) often has wall insulation below current code minimums and attic insulation at R-11 to R-19 — far below the R-38 to R-49 modern codes require. Tenants absorb the high utility bills until they leave.

The ROI case for landlords

Insulation upgrades lower utility costs (relevant for utilities-included leases), reduce tenant complaints about comfort, improve occupancy rates, and can qualify for energy efficiency tax credits. The material cost at wholesale is the starting point — not the retail markup.

Most common upgrades for rentals

Attic insulation top-up: add R-19 to R-30 over existing insulation to reach code. Costs one afternoon of labor. Crawl space floor insulation: R-19 batts between floor joists. Immediately noticeable comfort improvement. Basement rim joists: often completely uninsulated in older homes.
