Attic Insulation

Attic Insulation In West Georgia & East Alabama

Blown in attic insulation is a great solution for helping your home become more heat resistant and energy efficient, as it prevents heat from entering your home and cool air from escaping in the summer, and vice versa in the winter. Blown in attic insulation can be a great way to permanently cut your heating and cooling bills by over 20%, but most people aren’t exactly sure what blown in attic insulation is. This guide will teach you the basics and answer the most common questions surrounding blown insulation.

What is Blown in Attic Insulation?

Traditional insulation usually comes in faced batts (the foam-like boards) or as unfaced rolls, but if your insulation needs an update or you are adding it to an older attic, blown insulation is often a much better solution. Blown insulation (also known as loose-fill insulation) is most often comprised of mineral fibers, though people also use Styrofoam pellets or a cellulose material. Our blown insulation is made from a non-toxic fiberglass mineral wool. Fiberglass is the most common insulation on the market, and it is used in approximately 90% of new homes.

Why Install Blown Insulation?

Blown insulation is flexible in that it can be installed into any attic space and it can insulate the living space below, regardless of how the roof has been constructed (provided it’s watertight). It can effectively be installed in tight and oddly shaped spaces, provided it is well separated from the home’s living space. Often, blown in attic insulation proves to be far more cost effective than faced batts, fiberglass is non-combustible, and is resistant to pests. Unlike traditional forms of insulation, fiberglass does not make a great home for rodents, birds, and insects, and is resistant to moisture and mold.

It also provides some noise-canceling effects, which may be beneficial to you if you live near a busy highway, airport, neighbors who like to have regular family gatherings, or if you experience a lot of storms. This will also work in reverse; if you have musicians in the family, noisy dogs, or enjoy watching action films late into the night, you can do as you please knowing your neighbors won’t be disturbed, and may even help reduce room-to-room noise within your own home.

How Long Does Blown in Attic Insulation Last?

Regardless of what kind of insulation you choose, blown insulation is a permanent solution. Cellulose insulation lasts 20-30 years because it is made from recycled natural materials, whereas fiberglass materials will last much longer because it does not degrade.

Can Blown Insulation Increase the Life of My Air Conditioning?

Yes, blown insulation can help you increase the life of your HVAC. The temperature in your home will be kept much more stable, there will be less cool air escaping through the attic (and less heat finding its way in), and therefore your air conditioning will have to make much less effort to keep your home cool and comfortable in the summer. This decreased workload will increase the life of your HVAC.

So, Is Blown in Attic Insulation Worth it?

Unless your home is relatively new, you will almost certainly benefit from installing blown insulation in your attic. It will make your home a more comfortable place to be in summer and winter, decrease the cost of your energy bills, and increase the value of your home.
