Too late to add insulation to your Hamilton house?
It's never too late. Most older homes benefit most from blown in insulation upgrades.
Your Hamilton house is 20+ years old and feels drafty in winter, hot in summer. You're wondering if adding insulation now is worth the cost, or if you missed your chance when the house was newer.
Houses built before 2000 in Hamilton often have minimal attic insulation and thin wall insulation. Energy codes were looser then. Your high utility bills and uneven temperatures room-to-room are typical signs of insufficient insulation.
Blown in attic insulation typically runs $1.50 to $3.00 per square foot in Hamilton. A 1,200 square foot attic costs $1,800 to $3,600. Wall injection costs more but delivers bigger comfort gains. Most projects pay for themselves in 3 to 5 years through lower heating and cooling bills.
Get your attic measured first. Look for an R-value of at least R-38 for Hamilton's climate zone. Central Insulation Systems Inc. can assess what you have now and calculate the payback period for your specific house. They use Owens Corning Atticat Pink blown fiberglass, which works in any attic space regardless of age.
Once upgraded, your house stays comfortable year-round with lower energy costs. Rooms feel more consistent. Your HVAC system works less hard, lasting longer.
What people in Hamilton 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!"
