Energy bills keep climbing no matter what you try?
Attic insulation might be the missing piece — Central Insulation Systems in Bridgetown, OH.
Your heating and cooling bills in Bridgetown keep going up even though you haven't changed how you use energy. Your house feels drafty in winter and stuffy in summer. The problem is usually above your head — most homes lose 25% of their heated and cooled air through the attic.
High energy bills often point to poor attic insulation. Heat rises in winter and escapes through your roof. In summer, hot air pushes down through thin insulation. Your HVAC system runs constantly trying to keep up. Most homes in the Cincinnati area need R-38 to R-60 insulation values, but many have half that amount.
Adding blown-in fiberglass insulation typically costs $1,500 to $3,500 for an average attic. The work takes one day. Bigger attics or homes with unusual layouts cost more. Houses built before 1980 often need the most work since insulation standards were lower then.
Start by checking what you have now. Look in your attic with a flashlight — insulation should cover your floor joists completely. If you see wood joists poking through, you need more. Central Insulation Systems can measure your current R-value and add blown insulation to meet local building requirements. Call for a free estimate this week.
Once your attic meets current insulation standards, your energy bills should drop 15% to 30%. Your house will feel more comfortable year-round. Your HVAC system won't work as hard, which means fewer repairs and longer equipment life.
What people in Bridgetown 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!"

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.
