Blown-In Attic Insulation in Granada Hills
A continuous thermal blanket that contours around every obstacle in your attic — stabilized cellulose and fiberglass installed to measured depth and full coverage.
Why Blown-In Attic Insulation Matters in Granada Hills
Blown-in insulation is installed with a truck-mounted blowing machine that conditions the material and blows it through a hose into the attic. Its biggest advantage is coverage — it fills gaps and contours around the obstacles every attic has.
Real attics in our area are full of irregularities: electrical wiring, plumbing pipes, air-conditioning ductwork, recessed lights, bathroom fans, chimneys, walk boards, and framing modifications from past remodeling. Blown-in insulation naturally fills around all of it, creating far more complete coverage than batt insulation systems.
Coverage You Can Feel
Blown-in performs so well because it acts like a continuous thermal blanket across the attic floor. Batt insulation comes in individual pieces that sit between framing members, and every cut, gap, compression point, wire, or obstacle reduces performance. Would you rather cover yourself with one large blanket — or cut that same blanket into hundreds of pieces? That's essentially the difference.
Cellulose vs. Fiberglass
The two most common blown-in materials in our climate zone are blown-in fiberglass and blown-in cellulose. Both can work well when installed properly — and in many cases the quality of the installation matters just as much as the material itself.

Benefits of Blown-In Insulation
Continuous Thermal Blanket
One seamless layer across the attic floor that contours around wiring, ducts, and framing — no cuts, gaps, or compression points to leak performance.
Better Real-World R-Value
Installed performance stays much closer to the rated R-value. A HERS rater once shared that lab testing showed blown-in systems performing roughly 60 to 70% better than batt in actual installed conditions.
More R-Value Per Inch
Cellulose has a higher R-value per inch than fiberglass, so you can reach levels like R-30 or R-38 with less overall thickness in the attic.
Quieter, Cleaner Material
Made primarily from recycled paper fibers with added fire-resistant minerals, cellulose offers better sound dampening, better coverage around obstacles, and less irritation than older fiberglass products.
Lower Settling
When installed properly — and especially as stabilized cellulose — the system resists settling and keeps consistent depth over the long term.
High-Value Upgrade
Blown-in is generally one of the highest-value insulation upgrades a homeowner can make, thanks to its performance, coverage, and overall return on investment.
Our Blown-In Installation Process
A controlled approach focused on actual coverage and performance — not just making the attic look full.
Evaluate the Attic
Every attic is different. We evaluate yours in person to recommend the right material and depth for your home, climate zone, and any future-access needs.
Set the Machine Correctly
We use proper machine settings so the material is conditioned and installed to the right density — improper settings can make insulation look deeper while reducing the true installed R-value.
Measure Depth & Count Bags
We install attic rulers throughout, measure insulation depth carefully, and count the bags installed to match the manufacturer's coverage requirements.
Stabilize & Finish Clean
With stabilized cellulose, a light mist activates a natural starch-based stabilizer that forms a light crust — reducing settling, keeping dust down, and leaving a cleaner attic over time.

What Granada Hills Homeowners Say
"Luke told me that I would notice a decline in my electricity charges and that the house will stay cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter. The effect has been phenomenal. My AC used to kick in at 1:00 PM in the hot summer days and now it only comes on at 4:00 PM… The effect has been unbelievable and has far exceeded what I was told."
"Luke was easy to work with and educated me as insulation was not something I had any knowledge of. In the end, I got exactly what I needed at a very fair price. Luke and his crew were very professional and did great work at my home."
"Luke at Hunter's Insulation was awesome! Super knowledgeable and easy to work with. He explained the best insulation options and helped me make the right choice for my home. Really appreciate the honest advice—highly recommend!"
