House freezing and energy bills doubled in Delhi, OH?
Your attic insulation might be the problem. Here's how blown attic insulation can fix both issues.
Your heating bill in Delhi jumped from $150 to $300 this winter. The living room stays cold no matter how high you set the thermostat. You can feel cold air coming from somewhere, but you can't figure out where.
Most heat escapes through your roof, especially in older Delhi homes built before modern insulation standards. If you can see wooden floor joists through your attic insulation, or if the insulation looks thin and patchy, you're losing heated air to the outside. Cold air replaces it, making your furnace work overtime.
Blown attic insulation typically costs $1.50 to $3.50 per square foot, depending on your attic size and current insulation level. Most Delhi homes need R-38 to R-60 insulation to meet energy efficiency standards. The work takes one day for an average home. Bigger attics or homes with unusual layouts cost more.
Check your attic first before calling anyone. If insulation is below the floor joists or you see gaps, you need more. Central Insulation Systems Inc. can evaluate your attic and install blown insulation that meets local building codes. Get quotes from at least two contractors and ask about energy rebates from your utility company.
Proper attic insulation cuts heating bills by 15 to 30 percent. Your home stays warmer with fewer cold spots. Most homeowners recover the installation cost within three years through lower energy bills.
What people in Delhi 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 Delhi 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.
