Insulation

Attic insulation for typical Winchester and Tullahoma homes costs $1,500-$3,500 depending on square footage and desired R-value. Blown-in fiberglass or cellulose runs $1.50-$2.50 per square foot installed, while spray foam costs $3-$5 per square foot. This investment typically pays for itself in 3-5 years through energy savings.

The Department of Energy recommends R-38 to R-49 attic insulation for Middle Tennessee's climate zone. Most existing homes have inadequate R-19 to R-30, leaving significant room for improvement. Proper insulation levels can reduce heating and cooling costs by 20-30% while dramatically improving comfort.

Blown-in insulation costs less ($1.50-$2.50/sq ft) and works well for attics with adequate air sealing. Spray foam ($3-$5/sq ft) provides superior air sealing and moisture resistance, making it ideal for crawl spaces and walls. For most Tennessee attics, blown-in cellulose or fiberglass offers the best value.

Attic insulation for average homes takes 4-8 hours to complete. Crawl space insulation requires 1-2 days depending on size and access. Wall insulation during renovations takes 1-2 days per room. We work efficiently and clean up thoroughly, minimizing disruption to your daily routine.

Yes, properly insulated homes in Middle Tennessee see 15-25% reduction in heating and cooling costs. With average HVAC bills of $150-$200 monthly, that's $300-$500 annual savings. Insulation also makes your home more comfortable by eliminating hot and cold spots and reducing drafts during Tennessee's temperature extremes.

Not usually - we can add new insulation on top of existing material if it's dry and mold-free. However, if old insulation is wet, moldy, compressed, or contaminated by pests, removal is necessary before installing fresh insulation. We inspect your current insulation and recommend the most cost-effective approach.
