House freezing and energy bills doubled in Cheviot this winter?
Your attic insulation is probably the problem. Here's how blown in insulation fixes cold rooms and high bills.
Your heating bill jumped 50% or more this winter in Cheviot. Some rooms stay cold no matter how high you set the thermostat. You can feel drafts but can't figure out where the cold air is coming from.
Most heat escapes through your roof, not your walls or windows. If you can see wooden floor joists through your attic insulation, you're losing heated air every hour. Old insulation settles and compresses over time, creating gaps where warm air flows right out of your house.
Blown in attic insulation typically costs $1.50 to $3.50 per square foot installed. For a typical Cheviot home, that's $1,200 to $3,000 total. The work takes one day and includes air sealing around light fixtures and gaps before adding the new insulation layer.
Check your attic this week with a flashlight. Look for bare spots or compressed insulation less than 10 inches deep. You need R-38 to R-60 insulation value for Ohio winters. Central Insulation Systems Inc. uses Owens Corning Atticat Pink blown fiberglass that fills every gap and corner completely.
Once your attic has proper insulation, your heating bills drop 20% to 40% immediately. Rooms stay comfortable at lower thermostat settings. The investment pays for itself in 2 to 3 years through energy savings.
What people in Cheviot 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!"
