Mansfield Insulation Company serves Ontario homeowners with home insulation, attic insulation, crawl space work, and spray foam - responding within one business day and built around the postwar ranch homes that make up most of Ontario.
Ontario homes built between the 1940s and 1970s were put up before modern energy codes existed - many have original insulation in the attic and nothing in the walls or rim joists. A complete home insulation assessment covers all three areas so you know exactly where your heat is going each winter.
Most Ontario homes are ranch-style with crawl-space foundations, which means the floor above that space is the only thing between your living area and cold outdoor air. Insulating the crawl space walls and floor joists is the fastest way to fix cold floors in Ontario ranch homes.
Ontario's winters along the US Route 30 corridor are cold enough that an under-insulated attic costs homeowners real money every January and February. Adding depth to reach current R-value recommendations for north-central Ohio makes a measurable difference without major disruption to the rest of the house.
Ontario's clay-heavy soil keeps moisture near foundations year-round, making spray foam the right choice for crawl space walls and rim joists - it seals air infiltration and resists moisture in a single application. Homes along the quieter residential streets behind the Route 30 commercial strip benefit especially from this treatment at the foundation line.
Flat lots and slow-draining clay soil are the norm throughout Ontario, which means ground moisture stays near your foundation longer than it should after rain or snowmelt. A vapor barrier in the crawl space stops that moisture from rising into the subfloor and framing before it causes damage.
Ontario homes from the postwar era have decades of small gaps around wiring, plumbing, and framing that let conditioned air escape around the clock. Sealing those pathways before adding insulation delivers better results than insulation alone and is standard practice on older homes in this area.
Ontario is a compact city of about 6,600 people sitting just west of Mansfield in Richland County. Most of the residential housing stock was built between the 1940s and 1970s - a period when insulation standards were minimal and energy costs were low. Ranch-style homes on crawl-space foundations are the dominant building type here. At 50 to 80 years old, the majority of these homes have never had a meaningful insulation upgrade, and the original materials - where they exist - have settled and lost effectiveness. Owner-occupied homes make up a strong majority of the housing stock, which means most people here have a real stake in keeping heating costs manageable and the house comfortable through an Ohio winter.
The climate applies pressure from two sides. Ontario sits in USDA Climate Zone 5, with January temperatures that drop into the teens and average annual snowfall of around 30 inches. Freeze-thaw cycles throughout winter put stress on crawl space moisture barriers and foundation-adjacent insulation every year. The clay-heavy glacial soil in the area drains slowly, keeping water near foundations for days after rain or snowmelt - which means crawl spaces that are not properly sealed and insulated tend to accumulate moisture problems over time. Summers are warm and humid, so a leaky thermal envelope costs money in both seasons.
Our crews work in Ontario regularly - it is part of the same Richland County service area as Mansfield, and we pull permits through the same county building department for projects that require them. The housing profile in Ontario is one of the most consistent we work in: the vast majority of jobs here involve single-story ranch homes on crawl-space foundations, built between the 1940s and 1970s, with original or near-original insulation. That consistency means we know what to expect before we arrive, which makes the assessment faster and the estimate more accurate.
Ontario runs along US Route 30, the main east-west corridor through the area, with the Richland Mall and big-box retail concentrated along the highway and the residential neighborhoods sitting on the quieter streets to the north and south. Most of the homes we work on in Ontario are in those residential pockets - modest lots, attached garages, vinyl or brick-veneer exteriors, and crawl spaces that range from well-maintained to completely unaddressed.
We also serve homeowners just to the east in Mansfield, OH, which shares much of the same housing stock and building era as Ontario, and out to the west toward Galion, OH. If you have a neighbor in either of those areas who has had work done with us, Ontario is the same coverage zone.
Reach out by phone or the contact form and we respond within one business day. We will ask a few questions about your home - age, foundation type, what you are noticing - so the assessment visit is as useful as possible.
We visit your Ontario home, inspect the attic, crawl space, rim joists, and any other areas of concern, and check for moisture issues that should be resolved before insulation goes in. You get a written estimate with a clear scope and price - no vague ranges.
Most single-area jobs in Ontario take two to six hours. Our crew protects surrounding surfaces, installs to the specified coverage, and cleans up before leaving. You do not need to leave the house.
Before we leave, we walk you through what was done so you can see the finished work yourself. We provide written documentation suitable for a utility rebate application, permit record, or future home sale disclosure.

(567) 345-1126Ontario is a city of about 6,600 residents in Richland County, sitting directly west of Mansfield along the US Route 30 corridor. The two cities are so closely connected that most residents move between them for work, shopping, and services without thinking of them as separate places. Ontario has its own school district - the Ontario Warriors - and a strong identity as a working-family community where owner-occupied homes are the rule rather than the exception. The residential neighborhoods on the quieter streets away from Route 30 are where most of the single-family housing sits, with modest lots, attached garages, and the kind of postwar ranch homes that define north-central Ohio residential development from that era. The Richland Mall along Route 30 is the commercial anchor most residents use regularly.
The housing stock here is almost entirely single-family residential, with most homes dating to the 1940s through 1970s. Median home values in Ontario are modest compared to statewide averages, which means homeowners here tend to make practical decisions about where to spend on maintenance and improvements. Insulation is one of the higher-return investments for homes of this age and size, particularly when crawl spaces and rim joists have never been addressed. Neighboring Wooster, OH to the south and Galion, OH to the west are both part of our regular service territory and share many of the same housing characteristics.
