If you’ve landed yourself on this article, it’s a safe bet that you intend to upgrade your attic insulation. You’ve read all about the products available and have chosen between spray foam and blown-in insulation. You’ve also estimated the cost of your attic insulation upgrade. Now, all that’s left to decide is who will insulate the attic.

South Central Services offers attic insulation for our entire service area, which includes Pennsylvania towns like Greencastle, Harrisburg, York, Mechanicsburg, and many others. If you live within our service area, consider working with us to insulate your attic.

Let’s explore the top seven reasons you should choose South Central Services to insulate your attic with spray foam or blown-in insulation.

1. You’ll Have A Contractor Invested In Quality Results.

From start to finish, we are invested in finding the right insulation solution for your home. We install spray foam insulation because it offers superior benefits to homeowners. But our team also offers blown-in insulation as a quality option for a tighter budget. We have years of experience with insulation and a commitment to understanding building science.

There are a lot of different options for attic insulation, but we believe spray foam is the best. Insulating your attic with spray foam can lower your energy bills by 30% to 70%. Spray foam is also a permanent solution, so you’ll never have to think about insulating your attic again. This permanent and effective solution will make living in your home more comfortable and affordable.

When spray foam isn't an option, our team offers blown-in paired with an airtight seal. Without an air-seal, blown-in insulation cannot effectively stop convection or radiant heat transfer. While not as high-performing or permanent as spray foam, blown-in with an air-seal slows heat transfer and protects your living space.

Insulating your attic is more than just a job to us. The outcome of your project and the benefits you receive matter. If you care about having the best result, you can trust that we will deliver it.

2. We Pay Attention To The Little Things.

At South Central Services, we have attention to detail. Attic applications often have a lot of little details left unchecked, which end up compromising the insulation performance.

Many contractors don't bother with an air-seal when they install blown-in in an attic. Some attics have baffles that must be installed correctly. Even the flow of heat in your attic and roof system can influence how your insulation is installed. When you work with us, you can trust that we are paying attention to intricate details to deliver an effective product.

3. Your Space Will Be Left Clean.

If your attic is like most, you have some ineffective old fiberglass batts or blown-in insulation trying to keep the space insulated.

Before your contractor installs new insulation, they’ll need to remove that existing insulation. The crew will have to pull out or vacuum out the current insulation in bags, down your stairs and out of your house. Imagine coming home and finding spray pieces of fiberglass on your floor or stairs.

Construction is a messy industry. Before cleaning up, many hazards are often left lying around. Not every contractor is committed to a thorough clean-up process. As long as the job is done, who cares about dirt tracked inside or some ugly overspray?

One of the most common pieces of feedback we receive is how clean we leave our job sites.

We take great care in protecting from overspray and leaving homes like we were never there. No need to worry about boot prints, foam mishaps, or other messes. Between our prep work and clean-up, the only evidence that we were in your home will be your new attic insulation.

4. You’ll Work With Trained, Responsive Installers.

Installing spray foam insulation looks easy, but it is not. Spray foam insulation is created through a chemical reaction. Any number of variables could throw off your final result. Our crew undergoes extensive training to ensure the foam we put out is safe and on-ratio. We invest in continuous learning for our installers.

While blown-in insulation is often installed as a DIY, there are still aspects of blown-in that can confuse homeowners. Blown-in must be installed in an even layer, at the correct R-value, and be contained in the right areas of your attic floor. Our team knows how to deliver an effective blown-in result.

You can trust that we have the highest-grade foam components and equipment and know how to use them to achieve the desired result. If you work with us, our crew will deliver the most effective finished product possible.

5. We Offer A Holistic Approach To Your Whole Home.

Your attic does not exist in a vacuum. The reason you're looking for new insulation is to benefit your whole house. When we insulate an attic, we work to understand your home efficiency, air quality, and comfort.

Yes, your attic plays a huge part in each of those areas, but we also recognize there are other parts at play. Our team asks questions like:

  • What is the best method to insulate the attic based on this specific home?
  • How does the HVAC influence our insulation method?
  • How does the build of this home impact how we'll insulate the attic?
  • What is the homeowner's overall objective in re-insulating their attic?
  • What are the persistent issues in the home that we can address?

6. We Are Driven By Data And Results.
