House freezing and energy bills doubled in Park Hills?
Your attic insulation is probably the problem. Here's how blown attic insulation fixes it.
Park Hills homes built before 2000 often have thin attic insulation that's settled over time. When your heating bill jumps 50-100% and rooms stay cold no matter how high you set the thermostat, heat is escaping through your roof. Most homeowners can see their floor joists through the existing insulation.
Heat rises and escapes through your attic when insulation is too thin or has gaps. Old insulation settles and compresses over time, losing its ability to trap air. If you can see wooden floor joists in your attic, you need more insulation. Drafts you feel in rooms below often come from air moving through the attic space above.
Blown attic insulation for a typical Park Hills home costs $2,000-4,000 depending on square footage and current insulation levels. The work takes one day. Most homes need R-38 to R-60 insulation levels to meet current standards. Larger homes or those with cathedral ceilings cost more. Houses with good existing insulation need less new material.
Check your attic this week while it's still cold outside. If you see floor joists or the insulation is less than 10 inches deep, call for an estimate. Central Insulation Systems Inc. has been installing blown insulation in Kenton County homes since 1988. They measure your current levels and calculate exactly how much new insulation you need.
After installation, your heating bills drop 20-40% within the first month. Rooms stay warmer and more comfortable. Your HVAC system runs less because it's not fighting heat loss through the roof.
What people in Park Hills 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 Park Hills 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.
