What is Blown In Attic Insulation?
Insulation is traditionally installed in sheets and requires extra work to secure it in place in your attic. When attic insulation installation is completed in your home, these sheets need to be adjusted and cut to size, making the process longer and more difficult to complete.
With blow in attic insulation, as the name would suggest, insulation is pumped into your attic, covering every nook and cranny. Blow in attic insulation is made from the same material as traditional attic insulation, but is instead shredded into small pieces. Because of this small size, it’s able to plug up any crack of the seam where air can escape.
4 Seasons Heating & Cooling can help with your blow in attic insulation. We will measure the size of your attic and get enough insulation to cover the area. As we blow it into your attic, we also check for even coverage to ensure that there are no areas of concern for your home.
5 Perks of Attic Insulation Installation
Properly insulating your home is one of the most basic and important steps you can take to achieve year-round comfort while lowering your energy costs. Most older homes, and newer homes too, can benefit from additional insulation in the attic, exterior walls, overhangs, sill boxes, or the foundation.
For even greater results, consider insulating and air sealing at the same time. It’s a strategy that works to prevent wasted energy and money from slipping through the cracks, and it quickly pays for itself in reduced utility bills. Some major perks of attic insulation include:
- Improved Temperature Control: One reason why your home may take longer to cool or heat is that air is escaping through your attic. With new insulation installed, the air will remain where it’s supposed to be, making temperature control much easier.
- Energy Efficiency: By keeping the air in your home, your air conditioner doesn't have to work as hard to cool your home. Over time, this can translate into significant savings on your monthly energy expenses.
- Quieter Air Ducts: Your ductwork generally runs in your attic, and when there is little to no insulation, you’ll hear it more than ever. With blow in attic insulation in place, the noise will be dampened, making your air conditioner quiet and efficient.
- Easy Installation: Although some homeowners may avoid new installations, with blow in attic insulation, the entire process is easy. Think of it as a massive vacuum hose, but in reverse. It sprays small pieces of insulation everywhere until it’s completely covered.
- Affordability: At 4 Seasons Heating & Cooling we provide services at a flat rate. Combine that with the cost-effectiveness of blow in attic insulation, and you have an affordable improvement to your home, that can reward you with significant savings.
We are your reliable attic insulation contractors. We make the entire process easy, and can even perform duct testing and air duct repairs to complete a system overhaul that will have you enjoying a more comfortable home.
