House freezing and energy bills doubled in Crescent Springs?
Your attic insulation might be the problem. Here's how blown in insulation can fix it.
Your heating bill doubled this winter in Crescent Springs, 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 usually in your attic.
Most heat loss happens through your roof. If you can see floor joists through your attic insulation, or if the insulation is thin and patchy, heated air is escaping. Cold air replaces it, making your furnace work overtime. That's why your bills skyrocketed.
Blown in attic insulation typically costs $1.50 to $3.50 per square foot, depending on your attic size and current insulation level. Most Crescent Springs homes need R-38 to R-60 insulation value. The project usually takes one day and includes air sealing around penetrations.
Check your attic this week. Look for gaps, thin spots, or visible floor joists. If you see them, you need more insulation. Get quotes from licensed contractors who use Owens Corning Atticat blown fiberglass. Central Insulation Systems Inc. has installed attic insulation since 1988 and serves the Crescent Springs area.
Once proper insulation is installed, your home stays warm evenly. Heating bills drop 20-40% within the first month. The insulation typically pays for itself in 2-3 years through energy savings.
What people in Crescent Springs 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!"
