Blown Insulation Costs and Benefits for Jacksonville Homes

In Jacksonville, the cost of blown insulation ranges from $1.35 to $1.60 per square foot for cellulose and $1.20 to $1.45 for fiberglass, including labor. These costs can vary based on factors such as fuel surcharges, seasonal rebates, and bulk purchasing discounts. Blown insulation is crucial for maintaining energy efficiency in Jacksonville's hot summers and occasional cold winters. It creates a thermal barrier that reduces HVAC workload and lowers utility bills.

Why Choose Blown Insulation?

Blown insulation, also known as loose-fill insulation, effectively fills gaps and cavities, providing a seamless thermal blanket. This is particularly beneficial in Jacksonville's climate, where energy efficiency is key to comfort and cost savings.

Advanced Estimation and Installation

AI-Driven Estimates: Receive instant, itemized estimates through our real-time voice interface, utilizing live material pricing.

Blueprint Takeoffs: Upload plans for quick, accurate coverage calculations without manual counting.

Licensed Crews: Our teams adhere to Florida Building Code R402.1.2, ensuring proper insulation depth and ventilation.

Choosing the Right Insulation Material

Cellulose vs. Fiberglass

Cellulose: Made from recycled paper, treated for fire and pest resistance, excellent for sound dampening.

Fiberglass: Moisture-resistant spun glass fibers, ideal for humid climates, maintaining loft over time.

R-Value Recommendations

The Department of Energy suggests R30 to R60 for attics in Zone 2B. CountBricks typically installs:

  • Cellulose: 11.5-15 inches (R42-R55)
  • Fiberglass: 13-18 inches (R38-R60)
