The Cost of Home Insulation

Published on November 20, 2016
Cost of Attic Insulation 617

Winter is coming, and when it comes to winterizing your home for the freezing temperatures, installing or upgrading insulation is normally high on the list. When you’re planning to get your home ready for winter, do you know how much to allot for insulation? Service Experts Heating & Air Conditioning is here with a few estimates of how much you can expect to pay for insulation in Edmonton.

The first thing to think about when putting in or upgrading insulation in your home is do you want to do it yourself or have an expert insulation team come in and do the work. Choosing to do it yourself may save you money, but you will be responsible purchasing all the insulation, equipment, and devote your own time doing the task (typically a more than one day project). Also, if something should happen, you’ll have to pay to fix any issues. Plus, spending long periods of time in an attic or crawlspace can be exhausting and uncomfortable.

The typical cost of blown-in insulation installation is between $1000 and $1500. We see that most people spend between $900 and $1900 to have blown-in insulation installed. Undoubtedly, the lower end of the cost estimate is in large part due to “do it yourself” installations. But, the main takeaway is that even with a smaller investment you can dramatically upgrade the energy efficiency of your home while also enhancing your comfort.

So with the possible savings, why wouldn’t you just install insulation yourself?

There are multiple reasons.

First, company installed insulation usually has a higher R-value, the measure of resistance to heat flow through a given thickness of material. In English The insulation installed by experts is usually higher quality and is more effective because it is more thorough and covers more spaces that are more difficult to access for the usual DIY installation.

Second, professional insulation installers will know how much insulation you should have for each section of your home. Homeowners often miscalculate the amount of insulation they need to insulate their home, causing their insulation job to be inefficient and in need of additional insulation. This can cost homeowners more money over time, not just for more components and equipment, but also because your utility bills could rise since your insulation isn’t as efficient as it could be.

Another thing to consider is equipment. To properly install insulation you usually need specific equipment. Consumers can rent equipment to place insulation, but the standard of the equipment, like the quality of the actual insulation, it normally higher with a professional insulation installation company. Plus you don’t need to worry about whether you are running the equipment properly.

Not only can adding insulation help you save money on your heating and cooling bills, you can also get a tax credit amount of 10% of the cost, up to $500.
