What Blown-In Insulation Is

Blown-in insulation (also called loose-fill) is made from small, fluffy pieces of material — usually cellulose or fiberglass — that we blow into attics, walls, or floors using a special machine.

It’s perfect for older Worcester homes where walls can’t easily be opened up.
Instead of tearing drywall down, we drill small holes and fill the cavities evenly with dense insulation.

It’s fast, clean, and adds instant comfort.

Why It Works So Well in Worcester

Worcester’s weather is rough — freezing winters, humid summers, windy springs.
Without tight insulation, that outside air finds every way in.

Blown-in insulation works like a thick blanket. It:

  • Seals tiny cracks between framing

  • Prevents heat loss in winter

  • Blocks hot air from entering in summer

  • Reduces drafts

  • Lowers energy bills all year

You’ll feel it the same day we finish — no waiting for results.

Real Story: The Paxton Ranch

A homeowner told me, “The bedrooms on the far end are always cold, even with the heat blasting.”

We inspected the attic and found bare spots and old insulation pushed aside.
We blew 14 inches of cellulose across the entire attic.

That night they called and said, “The house feels even — no more cold side.”

That’s what even coverage does — comfort from wall to wall.

Best Materials for Blown-In Insulation

1. Cellulose

Made from recycled paper treated for fire and pest resistance.
Dense, eco-friendly, and great for air sealing.
Adds up to R-3.7 per inch.

2. Fiberglass

Lightweight, clean, and cost-effective.
Resists mold and moisture.
Adds about R-2.8 per inch.

Both are good — cellulose seals tighter, fiberglass costs less.
We choose based on your goals and home style.

Where We Use It

  • Attics – Easiest and most common upgrade.

  • Walls – Perfect for retrofits in older homes.

  • Floors – Helps with cold spots and noise between levels.

  • Crawl spaces – Adds warmth under first-floor rooms.

Worcester’s older triple-deckers and ranches love this method because it fixes drafts without tearing walls apart.

Air Sealing Comes First

Before we blow insulation, we seal air leaks — pipes, light fixtures, attic hatches, and chimneys.
Otherwise, heat just slips through the cracks.

Air sealing + blown-in = long-term efficiency.

Energy Savings

Blown-in insulation cuts energy use by 20–40%.
You’ll notice smaller bills immediately — and a steadier temperature all year.

A homeowner near Tatnuck said, “We used to have to crank the heat — now the house just stays comfortable.”

You’ll feel it every time you walk upstairs.

Real Story: The Millbury Colonial

A contractor friend called and said, “The client keeps complaining the new walls feel drafty.”
We checked — the insulation crew had left big gaps.

We filled the cavities with dense-pack cellulose and sealed every outlet.
He said, “They called me the next day and thanked me — they said the walls feel warm now.”

Sometimes it’s not about more material, just better coverage.

Benefits of Blown-In Insulation

  • Seals gaps and voids other insulation misses

  • Improves comfort year-round

  • Saves up to 40% on heating/cooling

  • Adds fire and pest resistance (cellulose)

  • Reduces noise between rooms

  • Increases home resale value

It’s one of the best investments you can make in an older home.

How It’s Installed

  1. Inspection – Check attic or wall depth and air leakage.

  2. Prep – Cover lights, vents, and flooring.

  3. Air Seal – Foam gaps and cracks.

  4. Blow In – Evenly distribute material using a hose system.

  5. Finish – Patch any wall holes and vacuum the space clean.

Most attics are done in a few hours — no construction mess or stress.

Mass Save Rebates

Mass Save helps Worcester homeowners make their homes energy-efficient with free audits and big rebates.
They’ll send an energy specialist to your home, and if you qualify, they’ll pay most — sometimes all — of your insulation cost.

We handle the entire process.
You just enjoy the comfort and the savings.

Real Story: The Auburn Cape

A homeowner said, “The house is freezing downstairs and hot upstairs — I’m tired of chasing the thermostat.”

We added blown-in cellulose to the attic and sidewalls.
The next week, they said, “It’s finally even — it feels like a new home.”

That’s what happens when you fix the insulation gap — everything balances out.

Soundproofing Bonus

Blown-in insulation helps reduce noise from outside and between rooms.
It’s especially useful in Worcester’s busy areas or multi-family homes.

A homeowner near Kelley Square said, “We barely hear traffic now — it’s peaceful.”

Quiet is part of comfort, too.

Environmental Benefits

Cellulose is made from 85% recycled paper, and fiberglass now uses low-emission binders.
Both are safe, sustainable, and long-lasting.

Insulating your home means burning less fuel — better for the planet and your wallet.

For Homeowners

If your home feels drafty or uneven, blown-in insulation is the easiest fix.
No tearing down walls, no big remodel — just comfort that shows up immediately.

We inspect, seal, and blow — done in a day.

For Builders and Contractors

We work with contractors all across Worcester County on retrofits and new builds.
Dense-pack cellulose helps meet Energy Star and HERS requirements easily.

A GC in Shrewsbury said, “Your crew hit perfect coverage — inspector passed it on the spot.”

That’s why pros trust blown-in — it performs and passes every time.

Maintenance and Longevity

Blown-in insulation lasts 30–40 years when dry and sealed properly.
It doesn’t settle much, and if it does, topping it off is quick and inexpensive.

We recommend checking the attic every few years to make sure air sealing is still solid.

Real Story: The Grafton Bungalow

A homeowner had an unfinished attic used for storage.
We added blown-in cellulose between joists and covered it with floor panels.

She said, “It’s not just warmer — it’s quieter too.”

Now she uses the space year-round.

Moisture and Mold Protection

We always install vent baffles to keep airflow steady.
That stops moisture buildup and prevents mold or condensation.

A dry attic = a healthy home.

Before & After

Before: Drafty rooms, hot upstairs, freezing basement, $400+ bills.
After: Even temps, quiet home, smaller bills, cozy nights.

Most homeowners say, “It feels sealed — like the house is hugging us.”

That’s when you know it’s working.

Local Experience Matters

Worcester homes come in every shape and age — Victorians, Colonials, capes, ranches — all with their own quirks.
We’ve insulated hundreds of them and know what works best for each.

That local know-how makes all the difference.

Final Thoughts

Blown-in insulation is the fastest, cleanest, and most affordable way to transform how your home feels.
It keeps warmth in, noise out, and energy bills low — all without big construction work.
