FAQ – Common questions about blow-in attic insulation

What is blow-in insulation made of?

It’s typically made from either cellulose (recycled plant fiber treated for fire resistance) or loose-fill fiberglass. Both are safe, effective, and form a continuous thermal barrier when installed properly.

Is blow-in better than batt insulation?

In most cases, yes, especially in attics. Blow-in fills gaps and irregular spaces more thoroughly than batts, which can leave voids and compress over time. It’s ideal for older homes with uneven joist spacing.

Can you add blow-in insulation over existing material?

Absolutely. We often install blow-in over old batts or settled loose-fill, as long as the base layer is dry and free of contamination. This approach boosts R-value without full removal.

How long does the installation take?

Most attics can be completed in half a day to one full day, depending on size and prep needs. Our process includes air sealing key gaps before blowing in insulation.

Will attic insulation reduce energy bills?

Yes. Attic heat loss is one of the biggest causes of energy waste. Sealing and insulating your attic can reduce HVAC workload, cut heating and cooling costs, and extend equipment life.

Can it help with rooms that are too hot or too cold?

Definitely. Blow-in insulation stabilizes temperature across floors, reducing seasonal swings and improving comfort in top-floor bedrooms or drafty rooms.

Is it eligible for rebates or incentives?

Yes. Many Illinois and Indiana utilities offer rebates for attic insulation upgrades. We’ll help you check eligibility and file any paperwork.

How blow-in insulation improves attic performance

Attics are the top escape route for heated and cooled air. Without proper insulation, your HVAC system works overtime and you still end up with drafty rooms, hot ceilings, and uneven comfort.

Blow-in insulation solves this by filling every cavity and covering joists with a dense, seamless layer. It reduces conductive heat loss in winter and blocks radiant heat in summer, keeping your living space more stable year-round.

We combine this insulation with targeted air sealing to stop leaks around recessed lights, ductwork, and ceiling penetrations. The result: a more efficient building envelope, lower energy bills, and a home that stays comfortable no matter the season.

Risks and home impacts of poor attic insulation

Inadequate attic insulation does more than raise energy bills it can quietly damage your home’s comfort, structure, and efficiency over time.

Moisture buildup and roof damage

Without insulation and air sealing, warm indoor air rises into a cold attic, condenses, and creates moisture. Over time, this leads to mold, wood rot, and even ice dams that can damage your roof.

Uneven comfort and HVAC strain

Poorly insulated attics create rooms that are too hot in summer and too cold in winter. Your heating and cooling systems run longer, increasing wear and shortening lifespan.

Higher energy costs

Up to 25% of your home’s energy can be lost through an uninsulated attic. That translates into higher monthly bills and wasted heating and cooling every season.

Reduced home value and indoor air quality

Drafty rooms, noisy ducts, and air leaks affect resale potential and comfort. Poor insulation also allows outdoor dust, allergens, and pollutants to circulate freely inside.

Sealing and insulating your attic with blown-in insulation is one of the smartest investments you can make in home performance. It protects your house, your wallet, and your well-being.

Why professional installation is essential for blow-in insulation

Attic insulation might seem simple, but getting it right takes precision, building science, and a plan tailored to your home’s unique layout.

Correct R-value matters

Illinois and Indiana homes need specific insulation depths to meet energy code and perform year-round. We measure your current levels, assess attic conditions, and install exactly what’s neededm no guessing.

Air sealing comes first

Insulation without air sealing is only half the solution. We locate and seal hidden gaps before blowing in material, preventing air leaks that sabotage efficiency.

Avoiding over- or underfilling

Too little insulation does nothing. Too much can block attic ventilation and trap moisture. Our trained crew installs insulation evenly and to spec, avoiding common DIY pitfalls.

Safe, code-compliant installation

We protect recessed lighting, baffles, and electrical systems during installation, and we ensure that airflow and fire safety aren’t compromised.

Guaranteed results

Every attic job is backed by our warranty. We inspect it with you when complete, show you the coverage, and ensure you feel the comfort difference right away.
