House freezing and energy bills doubled in Mack?
Your attic insulation is probably the problem. Here's how blown in insulation can fix it.
Your heating bill in Mack jumped 50% or more this winter. Some rooms stay cold no matter how high you crank the thermostat. You can feel drafts but can't figure out where they're coming from.
Most heat loss happens through your attic. If you can see floor joists through your existing insulation, you don't have enough. Cold air gets pulled up through gaps and cracks, while your expensive heated air escapes through the roof. This forces your furnace to work overtime.
Blown in attic insulation typically costs $1.50 to $3.50 per square foot in Hamilton County. A 1,200 square foot attic runs $1,800 to $4,200 installed. The work takes 4-6 hours and includes air sealing around penetrations. R-38 to R-60 insulation levels are standard for Ohio winters.
Check your attic first before calling anyone. Look for visible floor joists or insulation under 10 inches deep. Get quotes from licensed contractors who measure the space and test for air leaks. Central Insulation Systems Inc. uses Owens Corning Atticat blown fiberglass and has worked in Mack since 1988. They'll inspect your attic and give you an honest assessment.
Proper attic insulation pays for itself in 2-3 years through lower energy bills. Your house stays warmer in winter and cooler in summer. No more cold bedrooms or $400 heating bills.
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!"
