A typical blown-in fiberglass insulation job takes anywhere from 2 to 4 hours, depending on the size of the area and the amount of insulation needed.

The time required for insulation installation depends on the size of the space and the type of insulation being installed. Most residential insulation projects can be completed within a full day. Larger jobs, such as spray foam insulation or commercial projects, may take multiple days.

The cost of insulation depends on several factors, including the type of insulation (spray foam, blown-in fiberglass, or batt insulation), the size of the area being insulated, and whether existing insulation needs to be removed. On average, attic insulation for a typical home is around a few thousand dollars. While insulation is an upfront investment, it can lead to long-term savings on energy bills by improving your home's thermal efficiency. We offer free quotes to provide you with a detailed estimate tailored to your specific needs.

There are several signs that indicate it may be time to upgrade or replace your insulation. If you notice uneven temperatures between rooms, frequent drafts, or high energy bills, your insulation may not be performing effectively. Other warning signs include old or deteriorating insulation, excessive dust or allergens, and signs of moisture, mold, or pest infestations in your attic or walls. If your home was built before modern insulation standards were implemented, an upgrade could significantly improve comfort and energy efficiency. Our team can perform an inspection to assess your insulation needs.

Yes. The federal government offers a tax credit for energy-efficient home improvements, including insulation. Under the Energy Efficient Home Improvement Credit, homeowners can claim 30% of insulation costs, up to a maximum of $1,200 per year. This includes materials for spray foam, blown-in fiberglass, batt insulation, and other qualifying insulation types. Check with your tax professional or visit our "Tax Credit" page for additional info.

In many cases, yes—especially if the existing insulation is damaged, contaminated, or ineffective. If your current insulation is moldy, wet, or shows signs of pest infestation, it should be removed to prevent health hazards and further damage to your home. Additionally, if the insulation has deteriorated over time, it may no longer provide adequate protection. However, in some situations, new insulation can be added on top of existing insulation if it’s still in good condition. Our team will assess your attic and recommend the best approach to maximum performance and longevity for your insulation.
