Energy bills keep climbing every month?
Your attic might be bleeding heat and air. Attic insulation solutions in Hopkinsville, KY.
Your heating and cooling costs in Hopkinsville keep rising, but your house never feels comfortable. Winters are drafty, summers are sweltering, and your HVAC system runs constantly. Most heat loss happens through your attic, especially in older homes around Downtown Hopkinsville.
High energy bills usually mean your attic insulation is too thin or has settled over time. Heat rises in winter and hot air pushes down in summer. Without enough insulation, your HVAC system works overtime to maintain temperature. Most Christian County homes need R-38 to R-49 insulation values, but many have half that amount.
Adding blown-in fiberglass insulation typically costs $1,500 to $3,500 for an average attic. The price depends on your square footage and current insulation level. Homes built before 1980 often need the most work. The job takes one day, and you can use your attic for storage afterward.
Start by checking your current insulation depth with a ruler. If it's less than 10 inches, you need more. Central Insulation Systems can measure your R-value and add blown insulation to meet current building standards. Schedule an inspection to see exactly what your attic needs and get a written estimate.
Once your attic has proper insulation, your energy bills drop 15 to 30 percent. Your house stays comfortable year-round without overworking your heating and cooling system. The insulation pays for itself through lower utility costs.
What people in Hopkinsville 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!"
