House freezing cold with sky-high bills in Covington?
Your attic insulation might be the problem. Here's how blown in insulation can fix it.
You're cranking up the heat but some rooms in your Covington home stay cold. Your energy bills doubled this winter and you can feel drafts coming from somewhere. The problem is probably in your attic, where most heat escapes through old or missing insulation.
When your house feels cold despite running the heat, you're losing warm air through your attic. Old insulation settles over time, creating gaps where heat escapes. If you can see your attic floor joists through the insulation, you need more. Drafts you feel downstairs often start with air leaks in the attic space above.
Blown in attic insulation typically costs $1.50 to $3.50 per square foot in the Covington area. The price depends on your attic size and how much insulation you currently have. Most homes need R-38 to R-60 insulation levels. The work usually takes one day for an average-sized house.
Call for an attic inspection this week to see what you're working with. Look for an insulation contractor who can measure your current R-value and recommend the right amount of new material. Central Insulation Systems Inc. has been installing Owens Corning blown insulation in Northern Kentucky homes since 1988. They can assess your attic and give you a written estimate.
Once your attic has proper insulation, your house will stay warmer with less energy. Most homeowners see the investment pay for itself in 2-3 years through lower heating bills. Your rooms will feel more comfortable and you'll stop chasing drafts.
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!"
