House freezing and energy bills doubled in Hamilton?
Your attic insulation is probably the problem. Here's how blown in insulation fixes it.
Your heating bill jumped this winter and some rooms stay cold no matter how high you turn the thermostat. You can feel drafts but can't figure out where they're coming from. Hamilton homeowners see this every winter when old attic insulation stops working.
Most heat escapes through your attic, not your windows or doors. If you can see wooden floor joists through your attic insulation, you're losing heat fast. Old insulation settles and compresses over time, leaving gaps where warm air escapes. This forces your furnace to run constantly.
Blown in attic insulation typically costs $1.50 to $3.50 per square foot in Hamilton. A standard 1,200 square foot attic runs $1,800 to $4,200 installed. The price depends on how much insulation you already have and what R-value you need. Most Hamilton homes need R-38 to R-60 for proper thermal protection.
Check your attic first. If insulation doesn't cover the floor joists completely, you need more. Get quotes from licensed contractors who use Owens Corning AttiCat or similar blown fiberglass. Central Insulation Systems Inc. has installed attic insulation across Ohio since 1988 and can assess what your house needs. Compare R-values, not just price.
Proper attic insulation keeps upstairs rooms warmer and cuts heating bills 15-30%. Your furnace won't cycle as often. Drafts disappear when heated air stops escaping through the roof. Most homeowners see payback in 2-3 years through lower energy costs.
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!"
