Challenge: A family in the Rattlesnake area of Missoula was experiencing severe heat loss in their 1980s split-level home. During winter, the upstairs bedrooms were freezing, while heating bills were astronomical due to heat escaping.
Solution: Wegner Insulation conducted an assessment and identified that the existing attic fiberglass had settled, and air leaks were prevalent around light fixtures. We performed comprehensive air sealing and installed blown-in cellulose to R-60, along with a closed-cell spray foam application to the rim joists.
Result: The homeowners reported an immediate difference in indoor temperature stability. The following winter, their heating costs dropped by approximately 30%, and the "cold zones" in the upper bedrooms were eliminated.
Don't let another Montana winter drive up your energy bills. Contact Wegner Insulation today to schedule your consultation and take the first step toward a more comfortable, energy-efficient property.

For Missoula's climate, which features cold winters and hot summers, a combination of air sealing and high R-value insulation is best. Closed-cell spray foam is highly effective because it acts as both an insulator and a vapor barrier, preventing moisture issues common in our snowy months. However, blown-in cellulose is also an excellent, cost-effective choice for attics if air sealing is performed first.
Spray foam insulation expands upon application, filling gaps, cracks, and voids that fiberglass batts often miss. This creates a continuous air seal that significantly reduces heat loss through convection. While fiberglass filters air, spray foam blocks it, providing superior thermal performance and structural strength, especially in pole barns and vaulted ceilings.
Yes, upgrading attic insulation is the most effective way to prevent ice dams. Ice dams occur when heat escapes from your living space into the attic, melting snow on the roof which then refreezes at the eaves. by air sealing the attic floor and increasing insulation depth, we keep the roof deck cold, preventing the melt-freeze cycle that causes damage.
Yes, when applied by certified professionals like Wegner Insulation, spray foam is safe. We use modern, low-VOC formulas and ensure proper ventilation during the curing process. Once cured, the product is inert and does not off-gas harmful chemicals. It actually improves indoor air quality by sealing out allergens, dust, and pollutants.
Signs that your insulation may need replacing or upgrading include fluctuating room temperatures, high energy bills, drafts near walls and ceilings, and visible pests or moisture damage in the attic. If your home was built before 2000, it likely does not meet current Department of Energy standards for R-values in Montana.
