What Attic does
Attic Systems is a privately held contractor network based in Seymour, Connecticut, that delivers home energy efficiency services — principally attic insulation, air sealing, and ductwork solutions — through a franchise-style dealer model. The company operates as a division of Dr. Energy Saver and claims the largest network of attic insulation and air sealing contractors in North America, with over 100 independent dealers active across the United States and coverage extending into Canada. Core services include blown cellulose insulation (recommended at R-60 / 17 inches), comprehensive attic air sealing, duct sealing and insulation, ice dam prevention, attic mold treatment using Mold-X2, radiant barriers, rigid foam insulation, and dehumidification. The company also distributes the Aspen Air Purifier, a three-stage mechanical HEPA filtration system covering up to 1,500 square feet, as an add-on product.
The business operates a two-sided model: on the demand side, homeowners request free estimates through the website and are routed to local dealers; on the supply side, Attic Systems recruits HVAC, roofing, general contracting, and pest control businesses into the dealer program. Dealers receive proprietary training at the Energy City facility in Seymour, covering hands-on technical installation, sales, marketing, appointment-setting, and entrepreneurship in partnership with The School of Entrepreneurship. Pricing is quote-based and project-specific; revenue is generated from installation services delivered through dealers and from dealer program fees, training, and material support. The company is led by founder and CEO Larry Janesky.
Marketing is concentrated in content channels — an educational blog, RSS feed, and a YouTube video library — used to generate top-of-funnel homeowner leads that feed into the dealer network. Attic Systems is a member of Contractor Nation, which provides additional ecosystem positioning within the broader home performance contractor community. The company maintains no public API, software platform, mobile app, or disclosed AI/ML capabilities, and financials are not publicly disclosed.

- Aspen Air Purifier: A three-stage filtration air purification system designed to remove indoor pollutants including pollen, pet dander, mold, dust, odors, VOCs, smoke, and fine particulates. Uses mechanical filtration with allergy filter, activated carbon filter, and microparticle HEPA filter. Covers up to 1,500 square feet.
Products and services
- Attic Insulation Blown cellulose insulation service that raises attic R-value to the recommended R-60 level (17 inches of cellulose) to improve energy efficiency and home comfort for residential homeowners.
- Air Sealing Service that seals gaps, cracks, and air leaks throughout the attic — including chimneys, can lights, pipe and wire penetrations, duct chases, and attic hatches — using expansive foam insulation to eliminate drafts and reduce energy loss for residential homeowners.
- Ductwork Solutions Comprehensive duct services including duct sealing, duct insulation, and duct cleaning to improve HVAC performance and reduce the 47% of air typically lost through leaking ductwork in residential homes.
- Cellulose Insulation Blown-in cellulose insulation made from recycled paper products, providing R-3.5 to R-4 per inch thermal resistance, used as the company's preferred insulation material for residential attic upgrades.
- Ice Damming Prevention Service that prevents ice dam formation on residential roofs through proper attic insulation and air sealing, addressing heat loss that causes snow melt and refreezing cycles.
- Attic Mold Treatment Mold remediation service using the Mold-X2 treatment followed by air sealing to prevent warm, humid air from entering attic spaces and causing future mold growth on organic materials such as wood roof decks.
- Radiant Barriers Reflective insulation installed in roof rafters that reflects heat away from the home, particularly effective in hot climates for summer cooling.
- Rigid Foam Insulation High thermal resistance insulation (R-4 to R-6 per inch) that is moisture-resistant and durable, ideal for residential homes in climates with extreme temperatures and humid conditions.
- Aspen Air Purifier Three-stage mechanical filtration air purification system — allergy filter, activated carbon filter, and 99.97% HEPA filter down to 0.1 microns — covering up to 1,500 square feet with no ionizers, ozone generators, or UV-based systems, sold to homeowners for continuous indoor air quality improvement.
- Dehumidification Moisture control service to reduce humidity levels in attics and residential living spaces, preventing mold growth and improving indoor air quality.
- Attic Systems Dealer Program Contractor business development program that enables HVAC, roofing, pest control, and general contracting companies to add attic insulation and air sealing services under the Attic Systems brand, with access to materials, marketing support, brand association, leads, and Energy City training.

Attic competitors and assessment
Company assessmentDirect peers
- Dr. Energy Saver: Dr. Energy Saver is the parent company of Attic Systems and operates the same home energy-efficiency model across broader categories (insulation, air sealing, HVAC, windows). It is directly comparable because the same dealer/franchise-style delivery model, training infrastructure, and customer segment (homeowners seeking energy savings) sit underneath both brands.
Emerging players
- Sealed: Sealed is a home energy retrofit company that funds and delivers insulation, air sealing, and HVAC upgrades with an upfront-cost model. It targets the same homeowner pain points (high utility bills, uncomfortable homes) as Attic Systems but executes via a different go-to-market — Sealed is a vertically integrated contractor, not a dealer network.
- Aeroseal: Aeroseal is the dominant duct-sealing technology provider, addressing the same HVAC efficiency loss problem Attic Systems' Ductwork Solutions line targets. It is comparable because it sells into the same contractor/installed-by channel and serves the same homeowner outcome (less conditioned-air loss from ductwork).
- ReenergizeCO: ReenergizeCO is a Colorado-based home-performance contractor specializing in insulation, air sealing, and HVAC efficiency. It is comparable as a specialized attic/deep-energy retrofit contractor in a similar niche to Attic Systems, differing mainly in geographic footprint.
Broad incumbents
- ServiceMaster Brands: ServiceMaster operates a national franchise/restoration services platform with deep contractor-network infrastructure across home services. It is comparable as a benchmark for national home-services franchising and service-distribution scale relevant to Attic Systems' dealer model.
- Neighborly (formerly Dwyer Group): Neighborly is a large franchise platform consolidating home-services brands (plumbing, electrical, HVAC, handyman, insulation-adjacent categories). It is comparable as a franchise/dealer-network aggregator and a competing model for scaling energy-efficiency contracting services to homeowners.
- Home Depot Installation Services / Home Services: Home Depot operates an in-store insulation and home-services installation network across the U.S., sourcing leads directly from its retail footprint. It is comparable as a large-scale competing channel for residential insulation and air-sealing installations, with materially stronger brand awareness but less specialization than Attic Systems.
Others
- Angi (formerly Angie's List / HomeAdvisor): Angi is a lead-generation marketplace connecting homeowners with local contractors across insulation, HVAC, roofing, and remodeling. It is comparable as the dominant demand-side funnel Attic Systems' content-marketing efforts compete against for homeowner attention and lead conversion.
Regional players
- GreenHomes America / GreenHomes America franchise network: GreenHomes America has historically operated a national dealer-style network for home energy audits, insulation, and air sealing — directly parallel to Attic Systems' model. It is comparable as a franchise-style energy-efficiency contractor network targeting the same residential homeowner use cases.
- Mr. Handyman (Neighborly brand): Mr. Handyman is a Neighborly-owned franchise of residential repair, maintenance, and small-renovation contractors. It is comparable as a competing national contractor franchise network targeting the same homeowner for similar small-scale home performance and insulation-adjacent tasks.
