How much does it cost to insulate an older home?
As with most math around home improvement, there’s no simple answer! There are a lot of factors that go into what it will cost to insulate or upgrade insulation in an older home. Those include:
- Size of the house
- Types of original construction (open plan, traditional room build)
- Number/size of rooms in the home
- Type of insulation used
- Is removal of old insulation a factor
- What type of insulation will be used
- What kind of energy savings is the goal
As you can see, with so many factors at play you’d be smart to contact LiveGreen and ask us for a free project estimate to insulate your older home. Our team of experts knows the questions to ask, which type of insulation will best work in your home, and the best way of installing insulation (blown in, batt, spray foam etc).

If you’re thinking about an improvement in your older home, a better question might be how much will it cost you to leave an older home under-insulated!
Unless your home was originally constructed for peak energy efficiency- and in older homes that’s usually not the case- you can significantly reduce your energy bills by adding more and/or better insulation. Over time, the energy savings you realize will pay for the insulation project!
Another important point is that, like with most technology, there have been vast improvements in types of insulation and methods of delivering it to where it will do the most good in your home. Our LiveGreen teams are trained on and use the latest technology to evaluate your home and then install the type of insulation that will work best in your home for ultimate comfort and cost savings.
Insulation installed by LiveGreen acts as a barrier that works for your home in every season, reducing heat loss in colder months, and stopping warm, humid air from getting in when it’s hotter.
On top of the benefits of improved comfort and energy efficiency, hiring LiveGreen to insulate your older Triangle home can give you the added benefit of protecting your home and family from moisture and mold and inherent problems. Inadequate insulation can allow condensation and moisture to build up. That spells huge trouble because left untended, that moisture can lead to mold growth- which is bad for your home structurally, and bad for whoever lives inside (allergies, asthma irritants, etc.)
Consider this: In terms of comfort, there’s a reason old homes are referred to as `drafty’. Air can be seeping into the structure from gaps and cracks and through uninsulated space, then creating drafts, uneven temperatures (cold or hot spots) that are costly to try and regulate, and all that leads to higher energy bills. Using LiveGreen’s expertise in the field of home and commercial insulation installation, you can cut down on those bills with better insulation, you can protect you and your family’s comfort year round, and you can protect the integrity of the air quality in your home by preventing mold and mildew build up.
