House freezing and energy bills doubled in Florence?
Your attic insulation is probably the problem. Here's how blown in insulation fixes it.
Your heating bill jumped this winter and some rooms stay cold no matter how high you turn the thermostat. You can feel drafts but can't find where they're coming from. Florence homes built before 2000 often have thin attic insulation that's settled over time.
Most heat escapes through your attic, not your walls or windows. If you can see floor joists through your attic insulation, or if it's less than 10 inches deep, you're losing heated air to the roof. Old insulation settles and creates gaps where warm air flows out.
Blown in attic insulation typically costs $1,500 to $3,500 for most Florence homes, depending on square footage and current insulation levels. The work takes one day. R-38 to R-60 insulation usually pays for itself within 2-3 years through lower heating and cooling bills.
Check your attic this week. Look for gaps, thin spots, or visible floor joists. Get quotes from licensed contractors who use Owens Corning Atticat or similar blown fiberglass. Central Insulation Systems Inc. has installed attic insulation across Northern Kentucky since 1988 and provides free estimates for Florence homeowners.
After proper blown in insulation, your house stays warmer with less furnace runtime. Cold rooms warm up faster. Your energy bills drop 20-40% depending on your starting insulation level.
