Is $1,500 to blow in fiberglass insulation to achieve R-38 value a fair price?
Project Details
I am planning to add more insulation to my attic to reduce my electricity bill. I have been getting quotes from different companies, ranging from $1,500 to $28,000. I eliminated some expensive options due to my budget and am now trying to decide between two cheaper options. I have questions about whether exposed areas without batt insulation will be adequately addressed by just blow-in fiberglass, and if O'hagin vents will effectively increase attic airflow and cooling. I would ideally like to install an attic fan, but it is not an option in my area.
