Blown-In Attic Insulation for Sacramento Homes
Clients who choose our blown-in attic insulation services receive many benefits. Unlike insulation mats known as “batts,” blown-in insulation is an amalgam of shredded fiberglass and cellulose. These smaller pieces blow into spaces in an even blanket. The tiny pieces get into any cracks or gaps. This creates a much stronger thermal barrier compared to batts. It is also a lot easier to get the insulation to every area where its application is necessary. Overall, the process is quicker, cleaner, and does a better job of protecting your attic.
Optimized thermal barriers minimize overall energy waste and stabilize indoor temperatures. Your HVAC systems run proper cycles and operate more efficiently. This can lower your energy bills while also reducing system wear and tear. For homes in our area, subject to this climate’s heat, we highly recommend blown-in attic insulation.
Property owners notice specific signs when an attic requires attention:
- Spiking energy bills
- Uneven room temperatures
- Drafty indoor spaces
- Frequent HVAC cycling
- Walls/ceiling feel hot or cold
Blown-In Attic Insulation
The first thing we do for your home is provide a thorough inspection. We look at your existing insulation, find any issues or gaps, and then develop a plan. Our certified technicians custom-tailor every job for your home. If blown-in attic insulation is the way to go, we plan for the application. Our technicians prepare the site by protecting non-insulated areas. We then remove your old insulation to create a smooth, even surface for blown-in application.
We block off all vents and areas where loose insulation may settle. Our focus is on providing a thick, even layer of thermal protection in your attic. After applying the insulation, we check the application depth, evenness, and clean up. The end result is a home that’s more energy efficient.
Remove and Replace Old Insulation for Better Efficiency
Removing your existing insulation ensures the best, most even thermal protection. If you need new insulation, it’s because your old insulation isn’t doing the job. You may have matted, compressed, damaged, or infested insulation. We also require an empty space to blow the insulation into. We’ll need to remove any batts or other types of insulation before we start. We will also need to clean and prep the area. Our technicians safely handle the removal and disposal of this material.
Fresh blown-in material immediately restores the necessary R-value to protect your living spaces. Upgraded insulation helps stabilize your household temperatures. It accomplishes this by greatly limiting heat transfer. So, your conditioned air actually conditions the room instead of fighting off heat transfer swings.
Some benefits of professional insulation removal include:
- Removes all compromised materials
- Removes nesting sites, droppings, and more
- Eradicates hidden mold and mildew
- Creates a better application zone
- Allows for proper air sealing
