Description
Insulation Commandos is a recession-resistant franchise built for today’s economy—where energy efficiency and home comfort are non-negotiable. Represented by Engineuity (co-founded by Ken Osness and Josh Titler), the franchise offers a simple, scalable business model with commission potential up to $30,000 per deal.
This essential home service franchise specializes in removing deteriorated insulation and installing eco-friendly, non-toxic solutions that help homeowners and businesses reduce energy costs and improve indoor comfort. With 89% of homes under-insulated, the retrofit insulation market is booming, offering a high-demand, low-competition opportunity.
Unlike luxury renovations, insulation is a core utility—a service property owners can’t ignore. That’s why Insulation Commandos thrives in any economy, serving an urgent need that supports strong, recurring revenue potential.
