Energy bills keep climbing every month?
Check your attic first — Central Insulation Systems, attic insulation in Ashland, KY.
Your heating and cooling costs are eating up more of your budget each month. The house feels drafty in winter, stuffy in summer, and your HVAC system runs constantly. Most Ashland homes built before 2000 have attic insulation that's settled or doesn't meet today's standards.
High energy bills usually mean your home is losing heated and cooled air through the roof. Old insulation settles over time, leaving gaps. Insufficient coverage lets your expensive conditioned air escape while outdoor temperatures seep in. Your HVAC system works harder to maintain comfort, driving up costs.
Attic insulation upgrades typically cost $1,500 to $3,500 for most Ashland homes. The project takes one day. Larger homes or those needing air sealing work first will cost more. Houses with easy attic access and standard layouts stay on the lower end. Older homes near Central Park or the downtown district often need more coverage.
Start with a free attic inspection to measure your current insulation depth and check for air leaks. Look for blown-in fiberglass that brings your total coverage to R-38 or higher for our climate zone. Central Insulation Systems has been installing residential insulation since 1988 and can assess what your specific house needs. Get quotes from licensed contractors who guarantee their work.
Once your attic has proper insulation, your energy bills drop within the first month. The house stays comfortable without your HVAC running constantly. You'll notice fewer drafts in winter and more consistent temperatures throughout your home year-round.
What people in Ashland say
"THEY DID A GOOD JOB AND I THOUGHT THE PRICE WAS REASONABLE."
"I worked with Kevin Con, their field specialist. Kevin talked to me over the phone for quite awhile to make sure that I had a good estimate and knowledge of the procedure. The team came out early and they were efficient in the processes. I would highly recommend them especially because they worked so closely with our roofing team to get the job done in one day."
"I am just so happy. They came out on a Tuesday (the owner Steve and his son) and took a look and had a crew of 2 out for me the next day! They got there at 8:30 am and all was completed by 2:00. The follow up was excellent. I could just go on and on. I am very impressed and want to insulate everything NOW because they were so excellent!"
Other things people in Ashland ask
house cold high energy bills insulation
Check your attic insulation first. Most heat loss happens through the roof. If you can see floor joists through the insulation, you need more. R-38 to R-60 blown insulation typically pays for itself in 2-3 years.
blown in attic insulation cost
Blown-in fiberglass costs $1.50-3.00 per square foot installed. Price depends on R-value needed and attic access. For a 1200 sq ft attic, expect $1800-3600 total. Cheaper quotes often mean lower R-value.
attic insulation contaminated with rodent droppings
Don't try to clean contaminated insulation yourself. Rodent waste carries serious diseases like hantavirus. The safest approach is complete removal, sanitization of the attic space, and fresh insulation installation to current R-value codes.
when to remove old insulation before adding new
Remove old insulation if it's damaged by water, contaminated by pests, or contains asbestos. If it's clean and dry, you can usually add new insulation on top. Get the old material tested first if your house was built before 1980.
attic insulation removal cost
Costs vary depending on the cause and how much insulation is affected, but most jobs require full removal and sanitation before re-insulation. Removal runs $1–2 per sq ft, and replacement adds another $1.50–4 per sq ft depending on insulation type. For a typical 1,000–1,500 sq ft attic, expect to pay $3,000–$10,000 or more when sanitation is involved. Pest or fire damage usually means the most thorough cleanup.
