Covedale house freezing cold with crazy heating bills?
Check your attic first. Most heat escapes through the roof. Blown attic insulation fixes this.
Your heating bill doubled this winter in Covedale. Some rooms stay cold no matter how high you crank the heat. You can feel drafts but can't find where they're coming from. The problem is usually above your head.
When you can see your attic floor joists through the insulation, heat escapes straight through your roof. Old insulation settles and compresses over time. Air leaks around light fixtures and gaps let warm air flow right out. Your furnace runs constantly trying to keep up.
Blown attic insulation typically costs $1.50 to $3.50 per square foot for most Covedale homes. A 1,200 square foot house usually runs $1,800 to $4,200. The work takes 4-6 hours. Bigger homes or hard-to-reach attics cost more. Houses with no existing insulation need the most material.
Call Central Insulation Systems Inc. this week for a free estimate. Check your current insulation level first. If it's below your floor joists, you need more. Don't wait until next winter. The job works year-round, but scheduling gets harder when cold weather hits and everyone wants it done.
Once you have proper R-38 to R-60 insulation, your heating bills drop 20-30% immediately. Rooms stay comfortable. Your furnace doesn't run constantly. Most homeowners see payback in 2-3 years through lower energy costs.
What people in Covedale 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 Covedale 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.

adding insulation to old house worth it
It's never too late to add insulation. Older houses often have the most to gain from upgrades. You can blow insulation into existing walls and add attic insulation anytime. Most projects pay for themselves within 3-5 years.
