LMC Insulation announced today September 22nd of 2025 the expansion of its spray foam insulation services to meet rising demand from both residential and commercial property owners in the Hot Springs, AR region. The decision comes as energy efficiency and cost management remain pressing concerns heading into the colder months.
According to the U.S. Department of Energy, proper insulation can reduce heating and cooling costs by an average of 25 percent. Recent studies reinforce this finding. An independent report found that insulation upgrades and sealing air leaks in existing homes can yield 10 to 45 percent savings depending on the original insulation levels (Insulation.org).
“Insulation is often overlooked because it’s not as visible as a furnace or air conditioner,” said Cynthia Michaud, owner of LMC Insulation. “But it directly influences how well those systems perform. When insulation is properly installed, heating and cooling equipment can operate more efficiently, which helps control both comfort levels and expenses.”
The expansion includes additional capacity for residential and commercial projects in the Hot Springs area. LMC Insulation will provide evaluations of existing properties and new construction, identifying areas where spray foam application can improve building performance.
Industry research highlights more than just energy savings. A white paper from Kingspan documented a 17.2 percent reduction in cooling energy demand and overall 6.3 percent annual energy savings when additional insulation was applied to building envelopes (Kingspan). These findings underscore the role of insulation in helping property owners manage fluctuating energy costs.
As colder weather approaches, drafts, uneven indoor temperatures, and rising utility bills are common issues for property owners. Experts note that spray foam insulation, when installed professionally, can also contribute to durability and reduce the risks associated with traditional insulation materials that may settle or degrade over time.
“Every home and commercial property has different challenges,” Michaud added. “Our process begins with assessing those conditions and recommending the most effective approach for the long term.”
The Hot Springs region continues to experience steady growth in residential construction. Builders and developers are incorporating modern insulation methods to align with consumer demand for energy efficiency. By expanding its services, LMC Insulation aims to provide additional support for local contractors as well as individual property owners.
Experts emphasize that proper application is essential to achieving the expected benefits of spray foam insulation. Professional installation helps ensure even coverage and consistent performance, reducing the likelihood of gaps or inconsistencies that can affect results.
In addition to long-term savings, federal programs currently allow homeowners to claim a 30 percent tax credit, up to $1,200 per year, for qualifying insulation improvements (DSIREUSA). This incentive helps offset upfront costs for those planning energy upgrades and its calling the attention of homeowners in the state to finally make a decision about insulating their homes.
