Why Schenectady Homes Need Spray Foam Insulation
Schenectady’s housing stock is some of the oldest in New York’s Capital Region — from the historic homes of the Stockade District and the GE Realty Plot to post-war colonials in Rotterdam, Niskayuna, Scotia, and Glenville. Many of these homes were built before modern insulation standards, which means drafty walls, freezing attics, and heating bills far higher than they should be. With upstate winters regularly dropping below zero and humid summers pushing cooling costs up, proper insulation isn’t a luxury here — it’s one of the highest-ROI upgrades a Schenectady homeowner can make. Spray foam insulation seals the air leaks that fiberglass batts miss, cutting energy waste at the source.
