Blown-in attic insulation

blown-in attic insulation

Blown-in attic insulation is a highly effective method for improving a home’s energy efficiency and comfort by reducing heat loss in winter and heat gain in summer. This service involves using a specialized machine to blow loose-fill insulation—typically fiberglass or cellulose—into the attic space, ensuring complete coverage and filling gaps that traditional batt insulation may miss. Blown-in insulation helps create a thermal barrier that prevents conditioned air from escaping and outside air from entering, leading to lower energy bills and a more consistent indoor temperature. It also improves soundproofing and can enhance indoor air quality by reducing drafts and moisture buildup. Many homeowners choose blown-in attic insulation because it is quick to install, cost-effective, and can be combined with air sealing for maximum energy savings. Additionally, this type of insulation is often eligible for rebates and incentives, making it a smart investment for long-term energy efficiency.
