Blow-In Insulation Installation in Cumming, GA

We get this question a lot. The price is determined by attic square footage, accessibility, how much insulation you currently have, and the R-value you want. Contact us for a free estimate — we'll need to assess your specific attic to give you an accurate number.

We use an all-white fiberglass insulation that contains no chemicals or dyes.

For our area we recommend R49, which with our insulation is about 18 inches. We always install rulers in the attic to show total inches. So depending on how much you have now, whether we are adding to yours or doing a full install — for example, if you currently have 10 inches we would normally install an additional 8 inches to bring you up to R49. If you have none, or if you request we remove your old insulation, then it would be 18 inches.

Yes, if your existing insulation is thin, settled, or damaged, adding blow-in material on top can bring your attic up to the correct R-value for Cumming's Climate Zone 3. Many older Forsyth County homes were built with insulation levels below current Georgia energy code targets.

Blow-in insulation works in attic floors, enclosed wall cavities, and other tight spaces where batt insulation cannot lay flat. Phil Wheeler Install serves homes throughout Cumming, GA and can assess which areas in your home would benefit most.

It often does, because heat enters through an under-insulated attic floor and raises the temperature of rooms directly below. Adding blow-in insulation to the attic in your Cumming home reduces that heat transfer significantly.

Not always. Blow-in material can be added over existing insulation that is clean and dry. If your current insulation in your Cumming attic is contaminated, wet, or pest-damaged, removal first gives the new material a clean base to perform correctly.

Yes. We can come out and inspect what you have to see what's going on. More than likely you have blown-in insulation or batts, and hot air from the attic is leaking into the house through gaps and cracks. With the hot air coming in, your A/C can't reach or maintain the temperature you set. By air sealing the ceiling and upgrading your insulation, you keep the hot air in the attic and the cool air in the house. If your air handler is in the attic, the best solution is spray foam insulation.

Most people do. The windows are a great investment and do a great job at sealing those openings from air leaks. Now we need to air seal the ceiling and bring the insulation up to R49. This way you stop the air leaks at your windows and the ones in your ceiling, making your house more airtight and more comfortable.

Blown-in fiberglass normally takes one day to install.

Payment is due once we finish the job and have inspected it.
