Expert Blown-in Attic Insulation Services

Are you dealing with high energy bills? Sweltering summer heat and frigid winter temperatures, no matter your thermostat setting? Your insulation could be to blame.

If your home insulation is ready for an upgrade, Goettl can help. We offer blown-in insulation assessments and installation from experienced attic insulation contractors.

What Is Blown-in Insulation?

Insulation is traditionally installed using large sheets – also known as batt insulation – that must be measured, cut, and secured in your home. The process can be difficult and time consuming, especially if you have a larger home or irregularly shaped areas.

As the name suggests, blown-in insulation is a loose-fill insulation that’s “blown in” to your attic with a machine. Like batt insulation, it’s made of varying types of materials, including fiberglass, cellulose, and foam. The material is shredded into small pieces, that can fill cracks and seams that allow air in or out.

Why Choose Blown-in Insulation?

Whether you choose blown-in foam insulation or blown-in fiberglass insulation, it’s a smart choice to improve your home’s comfort and heating and cooling performance. Here’s why:

• Superior coverage: Blown-in insulation fills all the nooks and crannies in your attic, exterior walls, overhangs, sill boxes, or foundation, ensuring there are no gaps that can lead to heat loss in winter and heat gain in summer.
• Energy efficiency: With blown-in fiberglass or foam insulation, your home can maintain a stable temperature all year round – leading to lower heating and cooling costs without sacrificing your comfort.
• Quiet HVAC operation: Ductwork often runs in the attic. When the insulation is worn, you’ll hear the sounds of air passing through the ducts, but blown-in insulation dampens the noise for quieter heating and cooling operation.
• Cost-effective: Blown-in attic insulation is cost-effective on its own, but it’s also an investment in your home’s comfort and energy savings in the long term.
• Quick installation: Home renovations can be disruptive, but blown-in insulation makes the process easy. Our trained blown-in contractors can efficiently install insulation in your attic with minimal disruption to your daily routine.

Signs It’s Time to Upgrade Your Home Insulation

Insulation is essential for maintaining a comfortable and energy-efficient home, but it doesn’t last forever. Over time, insulation can lose its effectiveness, leading to rising energy bills and reduced comfort.

Is it time to upgrade your insulation? Here are some signs:

Rising Energy Bills

If you see a sudden spike in your heating or cooling costs, it may be a sign that your insulation is no longer performing. Poor insulation forces your HVAC system to work harder to keep the temperatures comfortable, which is reflected on your energy bills.

Uneven Temperatures

Do some areas of your home feel colder or hotter than the rest? Uneven temperatures can indicate that you have worn or sparse insulation in those areas, allowing heat to enter or escape more easily. Upgrading your insulation can keep your home consistently comfortable.

Drafts and Air Leaks

If you feel drafts around windows, doors, and your attic, your insulation could be to blame. Check for air leaks and consider adding or replacing insulation to seal the gaps and improve your home’s energy efficiency.

Insulation Age

Like everything else in your home, insulation has a lifespan. If your home is over 15 or 20 years old and hasn’t had an insulation upgrade, it’s time to consider replacing it.
