House freezing and energy bills doubled in Mason?
Your attic insulation might be the problem. Here's how blown in insulation can fix it.
Your heating bill jumped this winter and some rooms stay cold no matter how high you turn the thermostat. Many Mason homes built in the 1990s and early 2000s have settling insulation that no longer keeps heat in. You can feel drafts but can't figure out where they're coming from.
Most heat escapes through your attic. Old insulation settles over time, leaving gaps where warm air flows out and cold air comes in. If you can see wooden floor joists through your attic insulation, you're losing heat and money every day. Thin or patchy insulation forces your furnace to work harder.
Blown in insulation costs between $1.50 and $3.50 per square foot installed. For a typical 1,200 square foot attic in Mason, expect to pay $1,800 to $4,200. The price depends on how much insulation you need to reach R-38 to R-60 levels. Most projects take one day to complete.
Schedule an attic inspection this week to see what you're working with. Look for an installer who measures your current R-value and explains exactly how much new insulation you need. Central Insulation Systems Inc. has been installing Owens Corning blown in insulation in Warren County since 1988. They'll show you the thin spots and give you a written estimate.
Once your attic has proper insulation, your heating bills drop and rooms stay comfortable. Most homeowners see the investment pay for itself in two to three years through lower energy costs.
What people in Mason 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!"
