Spray Foam Insulation
Spray foam insulation creates an airtight seal that dramatically improves energy efficiency. This solution reduces heating and cooling costs by preventing air leakage through walls, ceilings, and floors. Our closed-cell foam also acts as a vapor barrier, protecting structures from moisture damage while maintaining consistent indoor temperatures year-round.
Thermal Imaging
Thermal imaging identifies hidden energy leaks using advanced infrared technology. This diagnostic tool reveals temperature variations that indicate insulation gaps, air infiltration, or moisture issues. Our comprehensive scans guide targeted insulation upgrades, ensuring optimal energy performance and comfort improvements for residential and commercial properties.
Injection Foam Wall Insulation
Injection foam insulates walls without demolition through dime-sized holes. This method fills cavities completely, eliminating cold spots and reducing noise transmission. Our low-pressure foam expands to seal gaps permanently, improving thermal efficiency and soundproofing while maintaining interior finishes intact during installation.
Radiant Barrier Foil
Radiant barrier foil reflects heat transfer in attics, maintaining stable indoor temperatures. This thin-profile insulation creates R16-R21 value while allowing proper ventilation. Ideal for attics and crawlspaces, it prevents heat buildup in summer and retains warmth in winter, extending roof lifespan and reducing HVAC workload.
Soundproofing
Our soundproofing solutions use open-cell foam to absorb vibrations and block noise transmission. The injection method seals wall cavities completely, eliminating sound pathways without removing finishes. This approach effectively reduces both airborne and structure-borne noise from neighbors, traffic, or mechanical systems in residential and commercial buildings.

It was very evident in the first 5 minutes of meeting Jim that he is very knowledgeable and experienced with foam insulation. I was ready to go but his backlog was at least 2-3 weeks out. He and his wife went out of their way to accommodate me and did an outstanding job of getting my job done in a timely fashion. I highly recommend Doctor Energy!

Jim is an honest person and trustworthy. I called him up and he could have made money out of my job, but he chose to give me a free info and shared with me best practices without taking advantage of my work. Good person to work with and trustful.

Im a local contractor in the Madison/Chatham area and couldnt figure out why the typical insulation methods we all use were not enough to fully insulate the addition we completed. I spoke to John in the morning and he was on the job within hours. He went through a variety of technical field checks to locate exactly what the issue was and gave a detailed and helpful explanation of why the original home builder skipped steps and how he could remedy the issue. I cant recommend these guys enough. And thats coming from someone in the construction industry. I highly recommend and will be

After reading through the reviews and the soundproofing existing walls information on the Energy Smart website I filled out the inquiry entry hoping to hire this contractor to soundproof the outside facing walls on my home. John called me the very next day. Sadly he does not work outside the northeastern US and I live in the northwest, Washington state to be specific. That said, John spent the next 30 minutes with me and described in detail the methods and materials available for foam injection soundproofing existing homes and commercial properties I must say I have never had a contractor be so

I was having a problem with a cold bathroom. After speaking with John I knew he was the right person to help with my problem. He is very knowledgeable and polite. John really takes pride in what he does and it shows by his professionalism. When he arrived at my home he went over a few solutions to help with the cold coming into the bathroom. His team sprayed foam into the walls around the bathtub area to help minimize the cold. To my delight i could tell the bathroom felt warmer. I was able to confirm this later at night as the outside temps dropped. I highly recommend Doctor Energy Smart for any

Doctor Energy Smart are an excellent example of family owned and run business done right. My wife and I spent years prior to finding Doctor Energy Smart looking for a contractor that does injection foam wall insulation. We continually were disappointed with either lack of experienced companies that discouraged us from even considering it or those that found our little house too small of the job.
John from Doctor Energy Smart came in for an in-home consultation, did the heat scanning of the house, identified problem areas, and discussed with us various options. He was thorough, professional, and
