Benefits of Insulating Your Home’s Crawl Space
As far as underfloor insulation options go, the crawl space is important. It needs to be properly insulated, weatherized and sealed. Otherwise, you’ll have issues like moisture problems and soil vapor intrusion (which can decrease indoor air quality).
Insulating your home’s crawl space can help:
- Reduce your energy bills
- Make your home more comfortable
- Improve the efficiency of your air conditioner and furnace
A crawl space can also be a big source of energy loss — a lot of air leaks in through your crawl space. Insulating and sealing are optimal because insulation isn’t as effective if there are air leaks. A crawl space that’s insulated but not sealed won’t do much to maximize your home’s energy efficiency.

Ventilated vs. Unventilated Crawl Spaces
A ventilated crawl space should be insulated under the subflooring and between the floor joists. For a crawl space that’s unventilated, wall insulation is important. For this type of crawl space, you don’t need to worry about sealing.
For such a small area, a crawl space can greatly impact your home’s energy efficiency if not properly insulated. No matter what type of crawl space you have and what material you use, you’ll notice the difference insulation can make.
