"This could not have gone any smoother. Despite having to re-schedule the original, 1st quoting appointment, Darren was here the very next day. I had a quote by the end of that 2nd day/appointment, was scheduled the next day for the following Monday and the 2-person team was in and out within 90 minutes. My kids didn't even wake up(granted, they could sleep thru the emergency siren!) but wow. My attic/crawl space is now fully insulated! All this while we are adjusting to our new normal of social distancing and heightened sanitary measures. I would use AFI again and would recommend them based on this experience."

"Prevailing came in to insulate my basement and attic. The workers were professional and worked the entire time they were here (which seems like a low standard, but I've had situations where 4 people come to work and 2 stand around talking for most of it from other companies). More importantly, they explained what they were doing as they did it, and cleaned up after themselves before they left! Scheduling the service was quick and easy since they were able to use our Alliant Energy quote to avoid a second home assessment, and they came in under budget. Very satisfied - plan to have them back to blow insulation in the exterior walls before winter."

"Jeff Smith is based at the Waterloo office. He was very good at customer service & responded to my emails in a reasonable time given this is probably a busy time of the year (November) for them. I am having additional blow in insulation behind a knee wall & in the attic to bring me up to code. The work has not been completed yet. I am waiting for an energy audit. That is why I can only rate the company as a 3."

"Abraham and his team came out and completed our insulation project in -17° weather. My wife and I are thrilled with the finished product and the job that these guys did. We would definitely recommend them and would hire them again in the future. We have bedrooms above our garage that were 15° colder than the rest of our house so we had Abraham give us his expert opinion on what needed to be done to warm up those bedrooms and our garage. Only after about an hour after his team left, we could already feel the temperatures rising in both the bedrooms, and the garage. Can’t thank them enough for their hard work!"

"Had a water leaking through my roof from Ice dams and damage on whole wall on the west side of my living room.  They had to replace all dry wall, insulation and match the half of my ceiling to the other half that was not damaged.  Also replace a huge 1960 window with 3 new energy  windows.   Great work you would never know that the half of the room had been redone match all the paint and knock down on the ceiling to a tee.  Very knowledgeable, professional and kept me updated on all the process that was going on."

Insulation FAQs, answered by experts

The life span of insulation is between 20 and 100 years. At that time, existing insulation can fall victim to gravity, resulting in compression, which reduces its insulating protection or R-value. If you can't simply add more insulation over the existing material, removing the old to increase the effectiveness of the new can reduce your energy bills and make the project worth the time and money investment.

Minimal, mainly occasional checks for damage or mold in extreme conditions.

Insulating windows with plastic works, but it can be time-consuming, and the end results can—and often do—end up lacking in aesthetics. Window film and caulking your windows to make sure there are no drafts are two options that increase the energy efficiency of your home in a low-cost way. Plastic can be a good strategy while you consider alternatives.

On average, insulating an attic costs about $2,500, with a typical range of $1,500 to $3,500. The final price often depends on the attic's size, with costs generally falling between $1 to $3 per square foot. For example, insulating a 1,800-square-foot attic would likely cost between $1,800 and $5,400.

If the project involves removing old insulation, this can add an average of $900 to the total cost, bringing a full removal and reinsulation project to around $3,000.

Several factors influence the overall cost:

  • Insulation Type: Prices per square foot vary significantly by material.

  • Reflective: $0.50–$1.50

  • Blown-in: $1–$4

  • Batt: $2–$4

  • Loose-fill: $2–$5

  • Spray foam: $2–$5

  • Structural insulated panels (SIPs): $4–$7

  • Project Complexity: Factors like sealing air leaks, poor attic accessibility, and required inspections can add to the cost.

  • Removal Issues: The discovery of mold, asbestos, or pests during the removal of old insulation can substantially increase the price.

If you have bubble wrap lying around the house and you don’t care about the odd look, taping bubble wrap over a window is a very affordable way to insulate it. Another inexpensive option for insulating windows is to add new caulk around the glass. This step quickly cuts down on air drafts for older windows, and a tube of caulk only costs a few dollars. Adding plastic shrink film around the glass is another cost-effective option. You can purchase a kit of plastic film for a few dollars per window.
