Too late to add insulation to your Mack house?
It's never too late to upgrade. Blown in insulation works in houses of any age.
Your Mack home is 20+ years old and feels drafty in winter. Energy bills keep climbing and you're wondering if you missed your chance to add insulation. Many Hamilton County homeowners think insulation only goes in during construction.
Older houses actually benefit most from insulation upgrades. Blown in fiberglass fills gaps that traditional batts miss. The Owens Corning Atticat system works in existing attics without tearing up your house. Most Mack homes from the 1990s and earlier have minimal attic insulation by today's standards.
Attic insulation typically costs $1.50 to $3.50 per square foot installed. A standard 1,200 square foot attic runs $1,800 to $4,200 depending on current insulation levels. The work takes one day and requires no permits in Hamilton County. Most projects pay for themselves through lower energy bills within 3-5 years.
Schedule an attic inspection this month to see what you're working with. Look for contractors who use calibrated blowing equipment and measure R-values before and after. Central Insulation Systems Inc. has installed Atticat insulation in hundreds of Mack area homes since 1988. They'll show you exactly how much insulation you have and what you need.
Once upgraded, your house stays comfortable year-round with lower energy costs. Winter heating bills drop 15-30% on average. Your HVAC system works less and lasts longer.
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!"
