Blown-In Attic Insulation for a Georgetown Home During the Texas Summer

This one started with a pretty simple conversation.

The homeowner said, “The AC never really gets a break.”

I asked if it was worse in the afternoons.

He didn’t even think about it.

“Every day.”

That pretty much told me what I needed to know before we even pulled the ladder off the trailer.

It was already hot.

You could feel the heat before climbing into the attic.

Not unbearable.

Just that heavy Texas heat that’s been hanging around all summer.

One of the guys tossed his gloves on, looked up through the attic hatch and said, “Let’s get after it before it gets any worse.”

Nobody argued.

Nothing was really wrong.

That’s probably the interesting part about this job.

There wasn’t one big problem staring back at us.

No huge gaps.

No missing sections.

The insulation had simply done what insulation does after enough years. It settled. It wasn’t giving the homeowner the coverage it once had.

You don’t always notice that from inside the house.

You just notice the thermostat keeps getting adjusted.

Fresh blown-in insulation.

We added new blown-in insulation across the attic until the coverage looked the way it should.

I walked across one side before climbing out just to take one last look.

I always do.

Not because I expect to find something.

Just habit.

Funny enough, I spotted one of our tape measures sitting in the corner.

Better the tape measure than my phone.

Hopefully, this afternoon feels different.

The homeowner came outside while we were loading the hoses back onto the trailer.

He asked if he’d notice anything right away.

I told him he probably wouldn’t have to wait long.

When the Texas sun has been beating on the roof all afternoon, that’s when a lot of homeowners start noticing the difference. The house doesn’t seem to fight quite as hard to stay comfortable, and the air conditioner isn’t running nonstop trying to catch up.

That’s really all this homeowner wanted.

A house that stayed cool without feeling like it was losing the battle every afternoon.
