House freezing and energy bills doubled in Mariemont?
Your attic insulation might be the problem. Here's how blown attic insulation fixes both issues.
Your heating bill jumped this winter, and some rooms in your Mariemont home stay cold no matter how high you crank the thermostat. You feel drafts but can't figure out where they're coming from. The problem is likely above your head in the attic.
Heat rises, and if your attic insulation is thin or missing, that expensive warm air goes straight through your roof. Most homes in Mariemont were built when energy was cheap, so builders used minimal insulation. You can check by looking in your attic. If you see floor joists through the insulation, or if the insulation is less than 10 inches deep, you're losing heat and money.
Blown attic insulation for a typical Mariemont home costs $1,500 to $3,500, depending on square footage and current insulation levels. The work takes one day. Bigger homes or attics that need air sealing first cost more. Most homeowners see 20-30% lower heating bills immediately, so the insulation pays for itself in 2-3 years.
Call Central Insulation Systems Inc. for a free attic inspection this week. They'll measure your current insulation and calculate exactly how much R-value you need to meet Ohio building codes. Don't wait until next winter. Every month you delay costs you money in higher energy bills, and scheduling gets harder as temperatures drop.
Once proper blown insulation is installed, your home stays warm evenly. No more cold spots or rooms that never heat up. Your furnace runs less, your bills drop, and you stay comfortable all winter long.
What people in Mariemont 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 Mariemont 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.
