Blown Insulation Louisville KY — Why It Matters for Your Home

Louisville winters dip below freezing, summer humidity soars, and utility costs climb higher every season. Proper attic and wall insulation is your first defense, yet many homes across Jefferson County still rely on under-performing fiberglass batts from decades past. Blown cellulose insulation is the fastest and most affordable way to close energy gaps, lower bills, and boost comfort without major remodeling. At CountBricks, we combine field-tested installation crews with industry-leading AI estimating tools to deliver airtight results for every residential project.

The Louisville Climate Challenge

• Temperature swings from 20 °F in January to 92 °F in July put continuous stress on HVAC systems

• Average Louisville household spends 25 % more on utilities than the national median

• High outdoor moisture can lead to mold growth in poorly insulated cavities

Blown cellulose creates a dense, seamless thermal blanket that resists airflow and absorbs sound, solving each of these pain points in one application.

How Blown Cellulose Insulation Works

1. Recycled paper fibers are treated with eco-friendly borate for fire, pest, and mold resistance

2. Fibers are mechanically fluffed and blown into cavities under controlled air pressure

3. Material knits together, filling every gap around wiring, pipes, and framing members

The result is an R-value up to 3.7 per inch—outperforming standard fiberglass while using green materials that help qualify for energy-efficiency rebates.

CountBricks crews install to a density of 3.5 lb/ft³, minimizing settling to less than 2 % over 20 years.

Can CountBricks remove old insulation?

CountBricks Case Study: Highlands Bungalow Retrofit

When the Johnson family purchased a 1920s bungalow in Louisville’s Highlands neighborhood, comfort issues were immediate. Rooms above the unconditioned crawlspace felt frigid, and utility bills averaged $320 per month during winter. CountBricks was called in for a turnkey solution.

Project Snapshot

• Home size: 1,650 sq ft single-story

• Existing insulation: R-8 fiberglass batts, significant gaps

• Scope: Crawlspace and attic cellulose blow-in, air sealing, ventilation upgrade

AI-Powered Plan

Our technician used the CountBricks mobile app to voice-capture dimensions, joist depth, and leakage points. Within 18 minutes, the Johnsons received a dynamic estimate showing:

• 82 bales of cellulose at live-feed pricing

• 12 labor hours across a two-person crew

• Optional fan-powered attic vent and projected energy savings curve

Execution & Results

1. Day one: Remove aging batts, seal plumbing penetrations, and prep ventilation

2. Day two: Dense-pack walls at 3.5 lb/ft³, blow attic to R-49, install vent

3. Post-test: ACH50 reduced from 11.2 to 6.4; attic temperature dropped 18 °F in peak summer

The first full billing cycle showed a 24 % reduction in electricity costs, translating to a projected 3.1-year payback. Ambient noise from Bardstown Road traffic also decreased noticeably, an unexpected bonus the family now raves about on our CountBricks.com/reviews page.

Pro Tips from the Field

• Pair blown insulation with targeted air sealing—R-value alone cannot stop drafts

• Ask your installer for a density report; anything below 3 lb/ft³ risks future settling

• Keep soffit vents clear after installation to avoid moisture buildup
