Too late to add insulation to your Covington house?
It's never too late. Older homes often see the biggest savings from blown in insulation upgrades.
Your Covington home is 20+ years old and you're wondering if you missed your chance to add insulation. Maybe you're tired of high energy bills or rooms that never feel comfortable. The good news is that older homes in Northern Kentucky often benefit the most from insulation upgrades.
Houses built before 2000 typically have minimal attic insulation, often just a few inches of old fiberglass batts. Over time, insulation settles and loses effectiveness. Your heating and cooling systems work harder to maintain comfortable temperatures, especially during Kentucky's humid summers and cold winters.
Blown in insulation for a typical Covington attic costs between $1,500 and $3,500, depending on your home's size and current insulation levels. The project usually takes one day and involves blowing loose fiberglass into your attic space to reach recommended R-values. Most homeowners see the upgrade pay for itself within 3 to 5 years through lower energy bills.
Schedule an attic inspection to see exactly what you're working with. Look for contractors who can show you current insulation levels and calculate potential savings. Central Insulation Systems Inc. provides free assessments for Covington homeowners and specializes in Owens Corning AttiCat blown in insulation. They'll measure your existing insulation and explain what's needed to bring your home up to current standards.
Once installed, you'll notice more consistent temperatures throughout your house and lower monthly utility bills. Rooms that were always too hot or too cold become comfortable year-round.
What people in Covington 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!"
