At Parobek, we use ProCat Professional Blown-In insulation, which is a loose-fill insulation that is “blown in” to your attic with specialized equipment to evenly distribute it throughout the space.
Installation of home insulation is traditionally done using large sheets, known as batt insulation. This process can be difficult and time-consuming, especially if you have a larger or irregularly shaped home, because the sheets must be measured, cut, and secured.
Unlike traditional fiberglass batt insulation, blown insulation fills millions of tiny air pockets due to the fluffing of the material in the hose to fill small gaps and irregular areas more effectively. Because the ProCat professional loosefill insulation does not settle, it maintains its insulating power for the lifetime of your home. This is a better alternative to batt insulation, which leaves lots of gaps where heat exchange will occur.
Blown-in insulation is often recommended for:
- Attics with existing insulation that has settled or degraded
- Homes with inconsistent indoor temperatures
- Older houses with minimal insulation
- Crawl spaces without insulation
Benefits of Blown-In Insulation
Installing blown-in attic insulation or insulation for other areas offers several long-term benefits. First, it helps improve energy efficiency. Proper insulation slows heat loss in the winter and keeps heat out during the summer. This allows your HVAC system to work more efficiently and can help lower monthly energy bills.
Blown-in insulation improves comfort throughout the home by reducing drafts and temperature fluctuations that are caused when conditioned air escapes into the attic. Insulation supports better home air quality, as well, by sealing gaps where outdoor air and allergens can enter. Blown insulation helps limit pollutants from circulating indoors. It also will not absorb moisture, which therefore won’t be a nutrient source for biological matter or for pests.
Finally, blown-in insulation is a cost-effective upgrade. Installation is typically faster and less invasive than other insulation methods.
Signs Your Home May Need Insulation
Many homeowners don’t realize they have an insulation problem until comfort or energy costs become an issue. Some common signs that you may benefit from new insulation include:
- Uneven temperatures between rooms
- High heating and cooling bills
- Drafts coming from ceilings or attic access points
- Old insulation that is thin, compacted, or missing in certain areas
- Moisture issues such as condensation on windows, musty odors, water stains, or visible mold in attics, walls, or ceilings
Homes in Texas are especially vulnerable to heat gain. Blown-in insulation can be an important upgrade for comfort and efficiency.
