House freezing and energy bills doubled in Blue Ash?
Your attic insulation might be the problem. Here's how blown attic insulation can fix it.
Your heating bill doubled this winter in Blue Ash, and some rooms stay cold no matter how high you set the thermostat. You can feel drafts but can't figure out where they're coming from. The problem is probably above your head.
Most heat escapes through your roof, especially in older Blue Ash homes built before current insulation standards. If you can see wooden floor joists through your attic insulation, you're losing heated air every day. Thin or settled insulation lets warm air rise straight out of your house.
Blown attic insulation typically costs $1,500 to $3,500 for most Blue Ash homes, depending on square footage and current insulation levels. The work takes one day and brings your attic up to R-38 to R-60 insulation value. Most homeowners see the investment pay for itself in 2-3 years through lower energy bills.
Check your attic insulation first before calling for furnace repairs or weatherstripping. Climb up and look around the edges. If insulation doesn't cover the floor joists completely, you need more. Central Insulation Systems has been installing blown insulation in Hamilton County homes since 1988 and can assess your situation.
Once proper insulation is in place, your house will hold heat evenly in every room. Your furnace won't run constantly, and your energy bills will drop back to normal levels.
What people in Blue Ash 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 Blue Ash ask
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.
how to tell if plaster has asbestos
Don't disturb the plaster until you know what you're dealing with. Have a licensed asbestos inspector take a sample and send it to an accredited lab for testing — this is the only way to know for sure. If asbestos is confirmed, contact a certified asbestos abatement contractor to handle removal safely. Never sand, scrape, or drill into suspected asbestos plaster on your own.
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.
