Blown-In Insulation in Bradenton
Blown-In Insulation Solutions for the Tampa Bay Area & Greater Sarasota
On a hot Bradenton day, the sun can heat an attic to 140 degrees or more. If your home's insulation is old, settled, or insufficient, that intense, radiating heat pushes right through your ceiling and into your living space. This thermal transfer forces your air conditioner to run nonstop, costing you money and comfort.
Proper attic insulation is the single most effective barrier against Florida's heat. It is the key to your home's thermal efficiency. By adding a thick, seamless layer of insulation, you keep the attic's heat in the attic and the cool, comfortable air in your home.
Blue Bear Total Home Services uses high-performance blown-in insulation to create a superior thermal barrier. We offer attic insulation assessment to measure R-value and check compliance with Florida building code.
Blue Bear Total Home Services provides blown-in fiberglass installation to form a perfect, seamless blanket. We also offer air sealing to prevent air leakage around pipes, wires, and fixtures. Finally, we provide insulation removal services for insulation contaminated by pests, water damage, or mold before installing a fresh, new layer.

Signs Your Home is Under-Insulated
The signs of poor insulation are often mistaken for a weak air conditioner. Recognizing these classic red flags can help you address the root cause of high energy bills and uneven home comfort.
Signs of under-insulation include:
- High energy bills. This is the number one symptom. Your AC is running for hours on end, fighting a losing battle against the heat radiating from your ceiling.
- Hot rooms and uneven temperatures. Rooms on the top floor feel noticeably hotter than rooms on the lower level. You may also notice the ceilings themselves feel warm to the touch.
- AC can't keep up. On the hottest afternoons, your AC runs constantly, but the thermostat setting is never reached. Your system simply cannot overcome the amount of heat entering the home.
- You can see your ceiling joists. If you go to your attic and can see the tops of the wooden joists, you do not have nearly enough insulation. A properly insulated attic should have a deep, consistent layer covering everything.

Why Blown-In is Better for Attics than Batts
When thinking about insulation, most people picture the pink, paper-backed rolls (called "batts") sold at hardware stores. While batts are fine for standard, empty wall cavities, they are a poor choice for an existing attic.
An attic is not a simple, empty box. It is a maze of obstructions: wooden trusses, ceiling joists, electrical junction boxes, pipes, and wiring. It is impossible to cut and fit batt insulation around all these obstacles without creating numerous gaps, cracks, and seams. Every one of those gaps is a place for heat to leak through.
Blown-in insulation (also known as "loose-fill") addresses this issue. It is installed with a machine that blows the material through a large hose, allowing it to flow like water. It gets around every wire and into every crevice, filling all the irregular spaces that batts cannot. The result is a seamless, monolithic "thermal blanket" that provides far more complete and effective coverage.
