Selkirk Energy Solutions Insulation for Comfort and Efficiency

Serving North Idaho homes and businesses

By Like Media Team

In a region where winter cold and summer heat both demand serious performance from a home or building, insulation quietly does the heavy lifting. Selkirk Energy Solutions has built its reputation around getting that unseen work right, helping families and businesses across North Idaho stay comfortable, efficient, and confident in the spaces they rely on every day.

Founded in 2018, Selkirk Energy Solutions began when Jordan Helmuth purchased a small insulation company from his uncle. What started with Jordan and a small crew quickly grew into a true family operation. His brother Rodney joined not long after, followed by their father Doug in 2021, expanding the company’s capabilities and allowing Selkirk Energy Solutions to offer spray foam insulation alongside more traditional options. Today, the three serve as co-owners, combining experience, trust, and a shared commitment to the communities they call home.

“We love getting to serve the community we grew up in,” Jordan says. “And just as important, we love helping our employees grow and succeed. We see them as family, too.”

That mindset carries through every part of the business. As a locally owned, family-run company, Selkirk Energy Solutions approaches each project with care and accountability. Their work is not about one-size-fits-all solutions or quick installs. Their approach is consistent: understand the building, recommend the right insulation, and install it correctly.

Insulation plays a critical role in energy efficiency, something homeowners often do not think about until problems surface. Rooms that will not stay warm in winter, homes that overheat in summer, or utility bills that keep climbing are all signs that energy is escaping where it should not.

“The cheapest energy is the energy you don’t use,” Jordan explains. “If a home isn’t properly insulated, you’re paying to heat or cool air that’s just leaking right back out.”

When a client reaches out to Selkirk Energy Solutions, the process begins with a free consultation. The team gathers basic information and then schedules an on-site visit to walk through the home or building with the client. During that visit, they discuss insulation options, evaluate existing conditions, and talk through goals, budget, and long-term efficiency.

“We want clients to feel informed,” Jordan says. “We form a plan together so they know they’re making the best decision for their space.”

That guidance is especially important because insulation choices can feel overwhelming. Spray foam, rockwool, blown-in insulation, dense pack cellulose, and fiberglass batts all serve different purposes depending on location, structure type, and performance needs. Selkirk Energy Solutions takes time to explain those differences in clear, practical terms, ensuring each project is tailored rather than rushed.

Their work spans residential homes, commercial properties, metal buildings, and agricultural structures, allowing them to support everything from family homes to local businesses. Across every job, the same priorities guide their approach: efficiency, durability, and doing the work right the first time.

Serving the North Idaho region, including Bonners Ferry and Sandpoint, is personal for the Selkirk team. They are raising their families here, building their future here, and investing in the area's long-term strength.

“We want to help families build better-performing homes and serve local businesses throughout the region,” Jordan shares. As interest in energy efficiency continues to grow, Selkirk Energy Solutions plans to expand its expertise and services.

For homeowners and builders looking to improve comfort, reduce energy waste, and work with a team that truly understands North Idaho living, Selkirk Energy Solutions brings experience, integrity, and a family-first approach to every project.
