Problem and overview
Improve the Insulation Above Your Living Space
The attic is one of the most important parts of a home’s thermal boundary. When insulation is thin, uneven, settled, or missing around key areas, heat can move more easily between the attic and the rooms below. That may contribute to uncomfortable upper floors, temperature swings, and longer heating or cooling cycles.
Blown-in attic insulation creates a loose-fill layer that can cover broad areas and fit around framing and many small obstructions. EET Insulation works with both blown-in fiberglass and cellulose. The recommended material and installation plan depend on the existing insulation, attic conditions, access, comfort goals, and the needs of the property.
Attic Inspection
We review insulation depth and distribution, access, visible gaps, penetrations, and other conditions that affect the scope.
Fiberglass or Cellulose Recommendation
EET Insulation works with blown-in fiberglass and cellulose. We explain which option fits the attic conditions and project goals before installation.
Work-Area Preparation
Access paths and nearby surfaces are protected so the work can be completed cleanly and safely.
Air-Sealing Coordination
Where the approved scope calls for it, accessible gaps and penetrations are addressed before new insulation covers them.
Even Blown-In Coverage
The selected insulation is installed across the planned attic area with attention to consistent coverage and key details.
Final Review and Cleanup
We inspect the completed work, clean the access area, and review the result together.
What’s Included with Blown-In Attic Insulation
Broad Attic Coverage
Loose-fill insulation can fit around joists, wiring, and many obstructions to reduce thin spots.
Better Temperature Control
Improved attic insulation can help living spaces stay more consistent through hot summers and cold winters.
Energy-Efficiency Support
A better insulated attic may reduce unwanted heat flow and help the HVAC system maintain comfort more efficiently.
A Practical Upgrade
Blown-in insulation can often be added to an attic without opening finished walls.
Sound Reduction
Additional attic insulation may help soften some outdoor and airborne noise.
Faster Installation
Many straightforward attic projects can be completed efficiently once preparation is finished. Actual timing depends on access and scope.
When Should You Consider Blown-In Attic Insulation?
An attic assessment may be useful when:
-
The upper floor is noticeably hotter or colder than the rest of the home
-
Existing attic insulation appears thin, uneven, compressed, or displaced
-
Joists or bare attic floor areas are easy to see
-
Heating and cooling equipment runs frequently to maintain the set temperature
-
A renovation, roof project, or other work has disturbed the insulation
-
You are not sure whether the attic’s current insulation matches the home’s needs
-
Drafts or ceiling-level air leakage suggest the attic boundary needs attention
Visible insulation depth is only one part of the picture. Air sealing, ventilation, and moisture conditions should be considered before adding material.
1. Discuss Your Attic Concerns
Tell us about uncomfortable rooms, uneven temperatures, high energy use, or visible issues with the existing attic insulation.
2. Have the Attic Evaluated
We examine accessible conditions and determine whether the attic needs added insulation, targeted improvements, or a different approach.
3. Review Your Options
We explain the recommended material, coverage area, preparation requirements, and estimate so you can make an informed decision.
4. Plan the Upgrade
After approval, we schedule the work, explain what to expect on installation day, and keep the process organized from arrival through completion.

What Customers Say About EET Insulation
We had a great experience with EET Insulation. We had old insulation removed in our basement and replaced with spray foam insulation, and added insulation to our existing attic insulation. Elyon was responsive to our concerns during the entire process. His team did a great job and we are very pleased with the work!
Margaret Gilligan
EET Insulation did a fantastic job on my attic project. Elyon and his team were completely professional, efficient, and great to work with. They completed a full cleanout, air sealing, and blew in 16" of new insulation across 1144 SF in just two half-days. They cleaned up perfectly and easily accommodated my requests for attic storage adjustments. I would absolutely use them again!
Jim Barlow
EET did a tremendous job sealing up two drafty bumpouts on our house with spray foam insulation. They did a great job communicating throughout the process. We will not hesitate to contact them in the future for any of our insulation needs.
Curtis Galbreath
Excellent work and I would highly recommend their services. Team arrived ready to work and got the job done all in one day. Elyon guided us thru the entire process and was always available to answer any questions we had. Thanks so much!
Carrie C.
Had Elyon remove my old insulation and seal it and blew in all new insulation and had our attic fan installed all in one day. He and his team did a great job. It has helped our house so well the next day it already felt rebalanced and a bit warmer. I highly recommend him.
Adelina
EET was referred to us by a friend who was also very happy with their services. They insulated above our garage ceiling and their caring, workmanship and attention to detail were first rate. I expect this job to hold up for quite some time to come. I highly recommend them!

Blown-In Attic Insulation FAQs
Do you install fiberglass or cellulose blown-in insulation?
EET Insulation works with both blown-in fiberglass and cellulose. The recommendation depends on the attic, existing materials, project goals, and other property conditions.
Can blown-in insulation be added over existing attic insulation?
Often it can, but the existing material should be inspected first. Wet, contaminated, damaged, or improperly installed insulation may need correction or removal before new material is added.
How much blown-in attic insulation do I need?
The answer depends on what is already installed, its condition and distribution, the attic assembly, and the project goal. EET Insulation measures and inspects before recommending a scope.
How much does blown-in attic insulation cost?
Cost varies with attic size, access, preparation, existing conditions, removal needs, material selection, and the amount required. A site-specific estimate provides the most useful answer.
How long does installation take?
Timing depends on the size, access, preparation, and whether old insulation must be removed. The project schedule is reviewed before work begins.
Will blown-in insulation stop every draft?
Insulation slows heat flow, while air sealing addresses many drafts. The strongest result often comes from identifying accessible air leaks before new insulation covers them.
Does the attic need ventilation after insulation is installed?
Ventilation requirements depend on the attic design. Insulation should not unintentionally block required airflow or other building components.
Should old insulation be removed first?
Removal may be recommended when insulation is wet, contaminated, damaged, heavily disturbed, or incompatible with the planned work. Serviceable material may sometimes remain in place.
