Is Your Columbus Home Losing Money Through the Attic? Blown Right Can Fix It

Inadequate attic insulation is the #1 cause of high energy bills and uncomfortable indoor temperatures in Central Ohio. Blown Right Insulation has helped 100+ Columbus homeowners solve these problems. Recognize these warning signs that your home needs professional blown-in insulation installation.

πŸ’Έ

Skyrocketing Utility Bills

Poor thermal resistance forces HVAC systems to run continuously, increasing monthly Columbus-area utility costs by 30-50%. Blown Right's R-49 to R-60 installations stop heat escaping through under-insulated attics in winter and penetrating during Ohio summers.

🌑️

Hot & Cold Room Temperature Swings

Uneven insulation distribution creates unbearable temperature inconsistencies. Blown Right eliminates hot spots where upstairs rooms feel like saunas in summer and ice boxes in winter, ensuring every room maintains consistent comfort.

❄️

Damaging Ice Dams in Winter

Heat escaping through inadequate attic insulation melts roof snow, which refreezes at eaves. Blown Right's professional insulation to R-49 or R-60 keeps your attic cold, preventing ice dam formation, water damage, and costly roof repairs.

πŸ’¨

Drafts & Uncomfortable Air Leaks

Feel cold air near ceilings or around light fixtures? These indicate compromised thermal envelopes. Blown Right's loose-fill insulation seals these infiltration points, reducing air leaks by up to 60% for dramatic comfort improvement.

How Much Insulation Does Your Columbus Attic Need?

Proper insulation levels are critical for maximizing energy savings and home comfort in Central Ohio's climate.

Energy Star Recommendations for Climate Zone 5

Columbus, Ohio is located in Climate Zone 5, which experiences cold winters with significant heating demands and warm, humid summers requiring air conditioning. The Department of Energy and Energy Star program recommend the following minimum R-values for optimal efficiency:

  • Attic Insulation: R-49 to R-60 (unfinished attics)
  • Existing Insulation: If you have less than R-30, adding insulation is highly recommended
  • Material Depth: Fiberglass loose-fill requires ~18-20 inches for R-49
  • Material Depth: Cellulose loose-fill requires ~13-15 inches for R-49
  • Code Compliance: Ohio Residential Code requires minimum R-38 for new construction

Current Insulation Assessment: Most homes built before 2000 have only R-19 to R-30 in the attic (6-10 inches), significantly below current recommendations. Upgrading to R-49 or higher can reduce heating and cooling costs by 30% or more.

Current R-ValueRecommendationExpected Savings
R-0 to R-19Add insulation to R-6040-50% reduction
R-19 to R-30Add insulation to R-4925-35% reduction
R-30 to R-38Top up to R-4915-25% reduction
