Founded in 2018, Koala Insulation benefits both customers and franchise partners. Its likable brand voices how home and business owners can earn back the cost of any insulation investment—all while helping the environment. Franchise partners make it happen through a simple business model, normal business hours, and great work and life balance.
Since launching franchise efforts in 2020, Koala has awarded over 420 territories and currently has 400 territories operational. Koala has also continued to show a strong year-over-year increase in earnings.
Getting started is simple and there’s no need to know about insulation before becoming a Koala franchise owner. The Koala Insulation model can be started with just one rig and scaled over time. Staffing needs are straightforward and as a mobile business, overhead is low and fixed. The insulation industry is an arena worth over 50 billion and currently hosts a few organized and large competitors. Koala’s proven marketing systems drive leads and sales—franchisees benefit from the tried and true lead generation methods. Koala’s support system is subpar to none, with Koala headquarters assisting in recruiting, no-cost training, marketing creation, and ongoing coaching for all franchisees’ primary staff.
For customers, Koala’s ability to stand by the quality of each job with a lifetime warranty and annual inspections can put their minds at ease. Franchise partners maintain profitability with the use of proprietary, custom-manufactured insulation products with added pest and fire resistance. Each franchisee also receives comprehensive, in-person training on all materials and equipment. Training is ongoing with web-based materials and easy-to-follow field guides. It’s also good for the planet. Increasing energy efficiency through insulation has a significant impact on protecting the environment reducing greenhouse gas emissions substantially.
Our process is tested, refined, and well-defined to meet (and exceed) the needs of franchise partners and customers at the same time.
Koala Insulation is backed by the resources and management depth of Empower Brands™, a successful exterior home services, multi-branded franchisor that has successfully scaled several home services franchise brands, including Conserva Irrigation®, Mosquito Squad®, Outdoor Lighting Perspectives®, Superior Fence and Rail®, and Archadeck® Outdoor Living, to over 500 franchisees that have produced over $1 billion in retail sales.
