House freezing cold with sky-high bills in Bridgetown?
Your attic probably needs more insulation. Here's how blown in insulation fixes both problems.
Your heating bill doubled this winter in Bridgetown, and some rooms stay cold no matter how high you crank the thermostat. You can feel drafts but can't figure out where they're coming from. The problem is likely in your attic.
Most heat escapes through your roof because hot air rises. If you can see wooden floor joists through your existing attic insulation, you don't have enough. Old insulation settles over time, leaving gaps where warm air leaks out. This forces your furnace to work overtime, driving up your energy bills.
Blown in attic insulation typically costs $1.50 to $3.50 per square foot installed. For a typical Bridgetown home, expect to pay $1,500 to $4,000 total. The price depends on your attic size and how much insulation you currently have. Most installations take one day and include air sealing around gaps and penetrations.
Check your attic first before calling anyone. Look for insulation below the level of floor joists or visible gaps between sections. You need R-38 to R-60 insulation value for Ohio winters. Central Insulation Systems Inc. can evaluate your current insulation and blow in Owens Corning Atticat Pink fiberglass to the right depth. Get quotes from licensed contractors who measure your attic and explain exactly what R-value you'll get.
Once properly insulated, your home stays warmer with less furnace runtime. Energy bills typically drop 15-30% the first winter. The investment usually pays for itself within 2-3 years through lower heating and cooling costs.
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!"
