House freezing and energy bills doubled in Springfield?
Your attic insulation is probably the problem. Here's how blown in insulation fixes it.
Your heating bill jumped this winter and some rooms stay cold no matter how high you turn the thermostat. You can feel drafts but can't figure out where they're coming from. Most Springfield homes built before 1990 have thin attic insulation that's settled over time.
Heat rises straight through your roof when attic insulation is too thin or has gaps. Old fiberglass batts settle and leave spaces around joists and wiring. If you can see wooden floor joists through your insulation, you're losing serious heat.
Blown in attic insulation typically costs $1.50 to $3.50 per square foot installed. A 1,500 square foot attic runs $2,200 to $5,200 depending on how much insulation you need. The work takes one day and includes air sealing around pipes and wires.
Check your attic first before calling anyone. Look for insulation level with or below the floor joists. Springfield homes need R-38 to R-60 insulation value for our winters. Central Insulation Systems Inc. can assess what you have and blow in Owens Corning Atticat Pink fiberglass to the right depth. They've been doing attic insulation since 1988.
Your heating bills drop 15% to 30% the first winter. Cold rooms warm up because heat stops escaping through the roof. Most homeowners see the insulation pay for itself in two to three heating seasons.
What people in Springfield 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!"
