Attic Insulation

Keep Your Home Cozy and Energy Bills Low—Starting from the Top!

Your attic plays a big role in how comfortable — and how costly — your home is to heat and cool. At 62 Insulation, we specialize in upgrading attic insulation to help Central Kentucky families stay warm in the winter, cool in the summer, and energy-efficient all year long.

Who Attic Insulation Is For

This service is perfect for:

Homeowners with older homes that may have little or outdated attic insulation
Families noticing drafty rooms, uneven temperatures, or high energy bills
Anyone planning a home renovation or looking to improve indoor air quality and efficiency
New homebuyers wanting to make sure their home is well-sealed from the top down

Whether your home is decades old or newly built but under-insulated, we can help identify gaps and upgrade your attic insulation for maximum comfort and savings.

Why Attic Insulation Matters

Heat rises — and without proper insulation, a large amount of it escapes through your attic. That means:

Higher energy bills
Overworked HVAC systems
Hot upstairs rooms in summer and cold ones in winter
Poor air quality due to air leaks and uncontrolled airflow

A properly insulated attic helps seal in the comfort you’re paying for — and protects your home from the top down.

Why We Use Nu-Wool® Loose-Blown Cellulose

We often recommend Nu-Wool Loose-Blown Cellulose insulation for attics, and here’s why it works so well:

Excellent Coverage: Nu-Wool fills in every nook and cranny of your attic floor, creating a thick, even layer of protection with no gaps like you might get with fiberglass batts.
Superior R-Value: Offers a higher R-value per inch than many other insulation types; meaning better thermal performance and energy savings.
Eco-Friendly: Made from 86% recycled materials and treated with a natural fire retardant, it’s a safer, greener choice for your family and the planet.
Sound Dampening: Helps reduce outdoor noise, especially in upstairs bedrooms or bonus rooms.
Fire and Mold Resistant: Treated to resist mold growth and slow the spread of flames in the event of a fire.

Frequently Asked Questions

When is a good time to add insulation to my attic?

A good time to add insulation to your attic is when you're experiencing high energy bills, uneven indoor temperatures, or noticing drafts — especially during extreme seasons like summer and winter. It's also ideal to upgrade during home renovations, roof replacements, or if your current insulation is old, damaged, or settling below recommended levels.

How long will it take to have my attic insulation removed and reapplied?

We recommend that our customers expect an attic overhaul to happen between 1-3 days, depending on the size and shape of the attic.

Will cellulose or spray foam make my house too tight?

Cellulose and spray foam insulation, especially when paired with proper air sealing, can significantly reduce air leakage — but they won’t make a home too tight if installed correctly. A well-insulated home still needs controlled ventilation, which can be easily managed with systems like bath fans or energy recovery ventilators (ERVs). In fact, sealing a home properly helps improve comfort, energy efficiency, and indoor air quality — as long as ventilation is part of the plan.
