Why Blown In Insulation Matters
Many Irving homes—especially older ones—have inadequate insulation that leads to significant comfort issues and wasted energy. Here’s how proper blown in insulation can transform your home
Improved Year-Round Comfort
Proper insulation doesn’t just help in winter—it keeps your home cooler in summer too. You’ll notice more consistent temperatures throughout your home and fewer drafts or hot spots.
Substantial Energy Savings
Insulation is your first defense against energy waste. By creating a more effective thermal barrier, blown in insulation can reduce your heating and cooling costs by 20-30% or more.
A family in Valley Ranch was struggling with high utility bills despite having a new energy-efficient heating system. After we installed blown in insulation in their attic, their next month’s utility bill dropped by nearly 25%. Over the course of a year, they saved enough to pay for the insulation service.
Reduced HVAC System Strain
When your home retains heat better in winter and stays cooler in summer, your HVAC system doesn’t have to work as hard. This reduces wear and tear, potentially extending your system’s lifespan and reducing repair needs.
Improved Air Quality
Proper insulation helps prevent outside pollutants from entering your home through walls and ceilings. It also reduces the air leakage that can bring in dust, allergens, and humidity.
Quieter Indoor Environment
Blown in insulation doesn’t just block heat transfer—it also absorbs sound. Many customers are surprised by how much quieter their home is after proper insulation, with less noise from outside and between floors or rooms.
Faster Payback Than Most Home Improvements
Unlike many home improvements that are purely aesthetic, insulation starts paying you back immediately through energy savings. Most of our Irving customers recoup their investment within 2-3 years through lower utility bills.
One Irving business owner called us about their overworked heating system that was running almost constantly. Rather than recommending an expensive system replacement, we suggested addressing their insulation first. After adding blown in insulation to their building’s attic space, their system ran 40% less often while maintaining better comfort.
Our Blown In Insulation Process
We’ve refined our insulation process to be thorough, efficient, and minimize disruption to your home or business
1. Comprehensiove Assessment
We begin with a detailed evaluation of your current insulation, using thermal imaging when necessary to identify problem areas that aren’t visible to the naked eye. Our assessment includes:
- Evaluating ventilation to ensure proper airflow
- Measuring existing insulation depth and coverage
- Calculating current R-values
- Identifying gaps, settled areas, or damaged insulation
- Checking for moisture issues or other problems
2. Customized Recommendations
Based on our assessment, we’ll provide clear recommendations, including:
- Projected payback period
- Optimal insulation type for your specific needs
- Recommended R-value to achieve
- Areas requiring additional insulation
- Cost estimate with expected energy savings
3. Thorough Preparation
Before installation, we carefully prepare the area:
- Installing baffles around recessed lights, vents, or other heat-producing fixtures
- Protecting your belongings with drop cloths
- Identifying and marking electrical fixtures, vents, and other obstacles
- Sealing air leaks when necessary
- Addressing any existing moisture issues
4. Precise Installation
Our installation process ensures complete, consistent coverage:
- Working cleanly and efficiently to minimize disruption

Signs Your Home Needs Better Insulation
Not sure if your insulation is adequate? Watch for these telltale signs
High Energy Bills
If your heating and cooling costs seem excessive compared to similarly sized homes or have been increasing over time, inadequate insulation is often the culprit.
Temperature Inconsistencies
Noticeable temperature differences between rooms or floors indicate insulation issues. If your upstairs is much warmer in summer or colder in winter, your attic insulation likely needs attention.
Cold Walls And Floors
Interior walls, floors, and ceilings that feel cold to the touch during winter months suggest insufficient insulation in those areas.
Ice Dams Or Icicles
While rare in Irving, during occasional freezes, ice forming along your roof edges often indicates heat escaping through poor attic insulation, causing snow to melt and refreeze at the eaves.
Draft Around Outlets Or Fixtures
Air movement around electrical outlets, light fixtures, or baseboards suggests insulation gaps that allow outside air to infiltrate your home.
Pests In The Attic
If you’ve had issues with rodents or insects in your attic, gaps in insulation might be providing entry points. Proper blown in insulation helps seal these access points.
HVAC System Running Excessively
If your heating or cooling system seems to run constantly without achieving desired comfort, inadequate insulation is often forcing your system to work overtime.

Common Areas For Blown In Insulation
While attics are the most common location for blown in insulation, we can improve efficiency in several areas of your home
Attic Spaces
The attic is typically the most critical area for insulation since heat rises in winter and hot attic air radiates downward in summer. We recommend R-38 to R-49 in Irving attics for optimal energy efficiency.
Exterior Walls
For homes with inadequate wall insulation, we can often add blown in insulation without major disruption by making small access holes that are easily patched and repainted.
Crawl Spaces
Uninsulated crawl spaces can create cold floors and allow moisture problems. We can install blown in insulation between floor joists to improve comfort and efficiency.
Garage Ceiling
If you have living space above an attached garage, this area often needs additional insulation to prevent the unheated garage from affecting your home’s comfort.
Cathedral Ceiling
Special techniques allow us to add blown in insulation to cathedral ceiling cavities while maintaining necessary ventilation paths.

Common Questions About Blown In Insulation
Our Irving customers often ask these questions about blown in insulation
How Long Does The Installation Take?
Most residential attic insulation projects can be completed in a single day. More complex projects involving multiple areas might require 2-3 days.
Will Blown In Insulation Settle Over Time?
Modern cellulose insulation settles very little—typically less than 5% over the life of the installation. We account for this minimal settling when calculating how much material to install. Fiberglass blown insulation typically has no measurable settling.
Is Blown In Insulation Safe?
Yes, the materials we use are non-toxic and fire-resistant. Both cellulose and fiberglass insulation include fire retardants for safety.
Can I Stay in My Home During Installation?
Absolutely. The installation process is minimally disruptive, and there’s no need to vacate your home. We maintain clean work practices to minimize any inconvenience.
Does Insulation Help In Summer Too?
Definitely. While many people associate insulation with keeping heat in during winter, it’s equally important for keeping heat out during summer. Proper attic insulation is especially critical during hot Irving summers.
Can I Install It Myself?
While DIY kits are available, professional installation ensures proper depth, coverage, and technique. Our commercial-grade equipment provides better distribution and density than rental machines, resulting in superior performance.
How Long Before I notice A Difference?
Most customers report an immediate improvement in comfort. Energy savings will be apparent on your next utility bill.
