Get answers to the most common questions about attic insulation.
Usually 15-20 years, but honestly it depends. Got rats? Water damage? You'll need to replace it sooner. If your energy bills are creeping up and the house feels drafty, it's probably time. We can take a look for free.
Most jobs run $2,000-$6,000 depending on how bad it is. That covers trapping, cleaning up the mess, and replacing contaminated insulation. We'll give you an exact number after we see what you're dealing with.
Your attic can hit 150 degrees in a Los Angeles summer. Without proper vents, all that heat pushes down into your home and your AC works overtime. Good ventilation lets that hot air escape. We've seen it cut cooling costs by 15-20%.
It can be. Mold spores get into your air and cause breathing problems, especially for kids and anyone with allergies. We use HEPA equipment to remove it safely, then figure out what caused the moisture so it doesn't come back.
Yeah, they do. A good attic fan can drop temperatures up there by 30-50 degrees. Less heat in the attic means less heat in your house. Most people save 10-15% on summer cooling bills.
Spray foam costs more but seals air gaps and has a higher R-value. Blown-in is cheaper and works great for most attics. We'll tell you which makes sense for your situation - sometimes it's a combo of both.
Air sealing plugs the gaps around pipes, wires, and vents where your heated or cooled air escapes. Most older homes leak like crazy up there. It's usually worth doing - saves 15-25% on energy bills.
Peek up there yourself once or twice a year. Look for rat droppings, water stains, or insulation that looks flat or disturbed. If something seems off, give us a call. Better to catch problems early.
