House freezing and energy bills doubled in Mack?
Your attic insulation is probably the culprit. Here's how blown attic insulation fixes both problems.
Your heating bill jumped 50% or more this winter in Mack. Some rooms stay cold no matter how high you crank the thermostat. You feel drafts but can't figure out where they're coming from.
Heat rises and escapes through your roof when attic insulation is thin or missing. Most homes in Hamilton County lose 40% of their heat this way. If you can see wooden floor joists through your current insulation, you don't have enough.
Blown attic insulation costs $2-4 per square foot for most Mack homes. A typical 1,200 square foot house needs $2,400-4,800 worth of work. Bigger attics or higher R-values cost more. Houses built before 1980 usually need the most work because old insulation settles and loses effectiveness.
Check your attic this week with a flashlight. Look for bare spots or compressed insulation. If floor joists show through, call for an estimate. Central Insulation Systems Inc. installs R-38 to R-60 blown insulation that meets local building requirements. The work takes one day for most homes.
Your heating bills drop 20-40% the first winter after installation. Rooms stay warmer and more comfortable. Most homeowners see the insulation pay for itself within three years through lower energy costs.
What people in Mack 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 Mack 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.
