I was absolutely blown away by how thorough the initial inspection was. Danny spent over an hour looking at my gas water heater, the AC, the attic, and then doing that crazy blower door test! I can't believe I hadn't heard of that test sooner. I KNEW my house had to have been wasting cold air...I just didnt realize how bad it was. Such an eye opener. And I didnt think i could have so much fun learning about heat and "building science" (that's a new one for me). My wife and I learned more about our home from Heat Hunters in 2 hours than we have in the last 5 years from several different HVAC companies.
We were excited to move forward and we are so glad we did. It feels amazing in here and it's so refreshing to deal with a company who gives a damn and treats you like royalty. The install crew was so polite to us and respectful of our space. They came in and laid down tarp over our carpeting and put plastic on our walls while they explained the plan. They removed the old insulation and cleaned up and then sprayed closed foam in our attic. We felt so safe with all of the testing they did throughout the process, and with the awesome communication. I can't thank these guys enough. Everyone should have their heat hunted by the Heat Hunters!
Mobile home insulation, sealed from below.
Torn belly wrap and sagging, wet insulation let heat, humidity and pests in under your home. We seal the underside of the floor with spray foam that won't sag, tear or hold water.
Old, sagging fiberglass like this lets heat, moisture and pests inBelly wrap doesn't last in Florida
The fabric underbelly (bottom board) on most manufactured homes tears, sags and comes loose over time. Once it does, the fiberglass behind it falls out or soaks up moisture, and the ducts and pipes under the floor sit exposed to heat, humidity and pests.
Spray foam applied to the underside of the floor bonds in place. It insulates and air seals in one step, and closed cell foam doesn't absorb water like loose batts do.
- Stops heat and humidity coming up through the floor
- Won't sag, tear or fall out
- Makes it much harder for pests to get in
Why spray foam under a mobile home
The underbelly is the weak spot in most manufactured homes. Here's what sealing it properly changes.
Cooler, more comfortable floors
No more warm, clammy floors in summer or cold floors on chilly mornings.
Moisture resistant
Closed cell foam doesn't soak up water like loose fiberglass, so it keeps working in Florida humidity.
Fewer pests
A sealed underside is far harder for rodents, snakes and insects to get through.
Air sealed in one step
Foam seals the gaps around pipes, wires and ducts as it insulates, stopping drafts through the floor.
Lower energy bills
Less heat and humidity getting into your home from below means your AC has less to fight.
Built to last
Bonded to the underside of the floor, it won't sag, tear or fall out like belly wrap and batts.
Is your underbelly failing?
Tap the ones you've noticed. Two or more usually means it's time to have a look underneath.

Spray foam applied to the underside of the floorWhy foam beats fabric and fiberglass
Most manufactured homes leave the factory with belly wrap and fiberglass batts. Here's how they compare.
| Belly wrap & batts | Spray foam underbelly | |
|---|---|---|
| Durability | ✕Tears, sags and comes loose | ✓Bonded to the floor, stays put |
| Moisture | ✕Fiberglass soaks up water and drops | ✓Closed cell foam resists water |
| Air sealing | ✕Gaps around pipes and ducts | ✓Seals as it insulates |
| Pests | ✕Easy to tear through and nest in | ✓Much harder to get through |
| Comfort | ✕Warm, clammy floors | ✓Steadier floor temperatures |
| Maintenance | ✕Patching and re-hanging | ✓Set it and forget it |

What customers say about our crews
We had a very good experience with Heat Hunters. Our house was built in 2002 and it was obvious after they tested that a lot of corners were cut during its construction.
This is our forever home and we wanted it to be more comfortable especially during the summer/winter. So we opted for closed cell foam since it lasts much longer. We're still waiting to see how our AC bills shift (down we expect) but more importantly our home feels much more comfortable now and our sleep quality has improved which was a huge unexpected benefit since we used to struggle to sleep well. HH's service was an excellent Value. Would recommend.
This spray foam is awesome. The guys did a solid job. Got it done in a day and left the place spotless. Not cheap but fair price and I wouldn't trust any other company spraying foam in my house.
We work from home and our offices upstairs were unbearable this summer. Now my wife and I both can't get over how cool and quiet it is up here and we're excited to see a lower bill next month. Love this stuff!
Great communicator even better price, and the professionalism of his crew was refreshing. They did an excellent job at an excellent price and be quite honest. We didn't even hardly know they were here. They were here for 3/4 of a day the cleanup the attention to detail you couldn't ask for more. What a great great company. Highly recommend this company and crew very very satisfied😎✌️
Travis and Jermiah were awesome. They were very polite and respectful. After they were finished in the attic they cleaned up any mess that they made. My wife and I would hire them in a heartbeat again. I can't say enough about this company and the crew. Again thank you very much.
Great company to work with! Everyone was friendly, professional, and easy to communicate with. They explained everything clearly and made the whole process simple. Definitely recommend Heat Hunters!
