Insulating the City of Lakes
Spray Foam Insulation in Lakeland covers a city that grew in bursts. Settlers arrived in the 1870s, the railroad came in 1884, and Lakeland was incorporated on January 1, 1885, on land Abraham Munn had bought and platted downtown. The Florida land boom of the 1920s left many buildings now on the National Register, and the city later grew outward in every direction. Thirty-eight lakes are named within it, the largest being 2,550-acre Lake Parker.
The climate
Lakeland's normals show a July average high of 92.1F, a January average low of 50.6F and a record high of 105F. June and July each bring close to 9 inches of rain. Insulation here is about keeping heat and humid air out, nearly year-round.
Older neighborhoods
Homes from the 1920s through the 1950s near downtown and the lakes often have little attic insulation, wood floors and frame or block walls with nothing inside. Air sealing and blown-in in the attic do the most good first.
Newer homes
In newer subdivisions, ducts and the air handler usually sit in the attic. Sealing the ducts and insulating the attic floor well, or spraying foam on the roof deck, brings the biggest change in comfort.
Lakeland Electric rebate
