Energy bills keep climbing even when you use less?
Attic insulation might be the culprit — Newark, OH solutions from Central Insulation Systems.
Your heating and cooling bills in Newark keep going up, but you're not using more energy. Your house feels drafty in winter and stuffy in summer. The problem is likely in your attic where most heat escapes through inadequate insulation.
Heat rises, and in Newark's climate with cold winters and hot summers, poor attic insulation lets your heated and cooled air escape right through the roof. Most homes built before 2000 have insulation that's either settled, damaged, or never met today's standards. You're literally paying to heat and cool the outdoors.
Proper attic insulation typically costs $1,500 to $3,500 for most Newark homes. The job takes one day and involves adding blown-in fiberglass to reach R-38 to R-60 depending on your home's age and current insulation level. Larger homes or those with complex roof lines cost more.
Check your attic first. Look for insulation that's less than 10 inches deep or has gaps around pipes and fixtures. If you see your ceiling joists, you need more insulation. Central Insulation Systems can assess your current R-value and add blown-in insulation to meet current building codes for Ohio's climate zone.
Once your attic insulation is properly installed, your home will hold temperature better. Your furnace and air conditioner won't work as hard. Most Newark homeowners see their energy bills drop 15-30% within the first year.
What people in Newark 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 Newark ask
house cold high energy bills insulation
Check your attic insulation first. Most heat loss happens through the roof. If you can see floor joists through the insulation, you need more. R-38 to R-60 blown insulation typically pays for itself in 2-3 years.
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.
attic insulation contaminated with rodent droppings
Don't try to clean contaminated insulation yourself. Rodent waste carries serious diseases like hantavirus. The safest approach is complete removal, sanitization of the attic space, and fresh insulation installation to current R-value codes.
when to remove old insulation before adding new
Remove old insulation if it's damaged by water, contaminated by pests, or contains asbestos. If it's clean and dry, you can usually add new insulation on top. Get the old material tested first if your house was built before 1980.
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.
