Attic Blown-in Insulation

Attic Blown-in Insulation

Need better temperature control and lower energy bills? Apollo Home's insulation experts install blown-in attic insulation that helps keep your home comfortable while reducing heating and cooling costs. Our installation process is quick, clean, and typically completed in just one day.

What Is Blown In Insulation?

Unlike traditional roll-out insulation batts, blown-in insulation consists of loose material that's literally blown into your attic through a specialized hose. Think of it like creating a thick blanket of snow - the material falls and settles into every corner and crevice, filling spaces that traditional insulation can't reach. This installation method allows us to achieve complete coverage around pipes, wiring, and irregular spaces, creating a more effective thermal barrier.

That's why it's called "blown-in" insulation—we use powerful equipment to blow the insulation material through a long hose and into your attic space. This method ensures even distribution and complete coverage, something that's difficult to achieve with traditional insulation methods.

Understanding Your Insulation Options

We offer three types of blown-in insulation, each with unique benefits:

Fiberglass Insulation

Fiberglass insulation offers the longest lifespan - up to 100 years with proper installation. It's naturally moisture-resistant and maintains its effectiveness over time. While it costs slightly more upfront, its durability makes it a smart long-term investment.

Cellulose Insulation

Cellulose, made from recycled paper products, provides excellent coverage and superior soundproofing. It's often the most affordable option and typically lasts 20-30 years. While it can be sensitive to moisture, proper attic ventilation helps it maintain peak performance.

Rock Wool

Rock wool, also called mineral wool, offers outstanding fire resistance and lasts up to 100 years. It's particularly effective for sound dampening and performs well in all weather conditions.

Our Installation Process

A proper blown-in insulation installation starts with thorough preparation. First, we inspect your attic's current insulation levels and check for any moisture issues that need addressing. We also ensure proper ventilation exists, as this is crucial for your insulation to work effectively.

Think of insulation thickness like layers in a winter coat - the thicker it is, the better it keeps heat inside. Experts measure this heat-blocking power using what's called an "R-value." Cincinnati homes need a higher R-value than homes in warmer climates because our winters are colder. We'll measure your current insulation and add enough blown-in material to reach the ideal thickness for our local weather.

On installation day, our technicians seal your attic from the rest of your home to contain any dust. We also protect any recessed lighting fixtures, electrical boxes, and ventilation systems before beginning. Using specialized equipment, we blow in your chosen insulation material until we achieve the perfect thickness for maximum energy savings. The material settles evenly around obstacles like pipes and wiring, creating a complete thermal barrier against both summer heat and winter cold.

Important Safety and Performance Features

We take several important steps to ensure your insulation performs safely and effectively:

  • Creating proper clearance around recessed lights to prevent overheating
  • Maintaining adequate ventilation to prevent moisture buildup
  • Installing protective barriers around electrical boxes
  • Ensuring even distribution to prevent settling issues

These precautions help your insulation perform effectively for decades while maintaining your home's safety.

Benefits You'll Notice Immediately

Once we've installed your new attic insulation, you'll experience several improvements:

  • More consistent temperatures throughout your home
  • Lower heating and cooling bills
  • Reduced HVAC system workload
  • Better sound dampening from outside noise
  • Improved indoor air quality

Many homeowners report energy savings within their first monthly bill after installation.

Long-Term Value of Proper Insulation

While the immediate benefits are noticeable, proper attic insulation continues to provide value for decades. Your HVAC system will last longer because it won't need to work as hard. Your home will maintain more consistent temperatures year-round, and you'll continue seeing lower energy bills compared to an under-insulated home.
