Common Questions About Blown-In Insulation
Get answers to the most common questions about blown-in insulation services for your home.
Blown-in insulation is a loose-fill insulation material that is installed using specialized equipment to blow the material into attics, walls, and other cavities. Common materials include cellulose (recycled paper), fiberglass, and mineral wool. It conforms to any space, filling gaps and voids that traditional batt insulation might miss.
Blown-in insulation minimizes heat loss in winter and heat gain in summer by creating a comprehensive thermal barrier in your attic, walls, and ceilings. Its ability to fill every gap and void provides superior coverage compared to traditional batts, significantly reducing the energy needed for heating and cooling your home.
Blown-in insulation R-values depend on the material and depth. Cellulose provides approximately R-3.2 to R-3.8 per inch, while fiberglass offers R-2.2 to R-2.7 per inch. For attics, we typically recommend R-50 to R-60 (about 15-19 inches of cellulose) to meet Canadian energy efficiency standards.
Blown-in insulation excels in existing homes where walls are already enclosed, as it can be installed through small holes. It also provides better coverage around obstacles like wiring and pipes. Batt insulation is often more economical for new construction with open wall cavities. We recommend the best solution based on your specific situation.
Most residential blown-in installations are completed in a single day. A typical attic insulation upgrade takes 4-8 hours depending on size and accessibility. Whole-home projects including walls may take 1-2 days. Our team will provide a specific timeline during your consultation.
Yes! Blown-in insulation is excellent at reducing noise transmission. Both cellulose and fiberglass effectively absorb sound waves, making them popular choices for reducing outside noise and sound transfer between rooms and floors.
Absolutely! This is one of the main advantages of blown-in insulation. Our technicians can install it in enclosed walls by drilling small holes, blowing in the insulation, and then patching the holes. This makes it ideal for retrofitting older homes without major renovation.
When properly installed, blown-in insulation can last 20-30 years or more. Cellulose may settle slightly over time (we account for this during installation), while fiberglass maintains its loft. Regular inspections every few years help ensure continued performance.

"FIXED A LONG STANDING ISSUE I HAD FROM POOR INSTALLATION BY ANOTHER COMPANY!"
The two technicians Tanner and Halim were excellent, did a great job, very tidy, and identified 2 problems with my heat pump head, and fixed a long standing issue I had from poor installation by another company! Thank you very much, looking forward to using Greenfoot again.

"I ONLY WISH THEY INSTALLED OUR HEAT PUMP ORIGINALLY"
Great company to deal with. We hired them to move an existing heat pump after the original installer refused to help us. The estimator and the installer were both very polite, careful and thorough. I only wish they installed our heat pump originally. I would hire them again without hesitation.

"WHEN THEY LEFT THE HOUSE THERE WAS NO MESS TO CLEAN UP!"
The young chaps, Marlon Marcuflo and Sylvia Richard, were wonderful to deal with. They were extremely polite, very tidy and efficient in their work, were right on schedule and did an excellent job. When they left the house there was no mess to clean up. I would recommend Greenfoot Energy Solutions to anyone thinking of upgrading their home.

"OUR OLD HOUSE FEELS LIKE A BRAND NEW CONSTRUCTION"
The Greenfoot Team did amazing work in our home. Our old house (built in 1959) feels like a brand new construction thanks to the ductless heat pumps, spray foam insulation and HVAC installed by the friendliest staff! Everyone we spoke to from Greenfoot was helpful and just seemed genuinely happy in their job.
