Real Customer Energy Savings From Attic Insulation

Homeowners throughout Pasadena and Glendale have seen major energy bill reductions after upgrading their attic insulation. On average, customers report:

  • 15–35% lower heating and cooling costs
  • $300–$800 annual savings for 1,500 sq ft homes
  • Short payback periods of 3–7 years, depending on insulation condition

These numbers aren’t guesswork—they’re based on real utility bill comparisons and Department of Energy estimates. With proper insulation, your HVAC system doesn’t have to work as hard, reducing both energy use and wear on equipment.

What Affects Your Energy Savings Potential?

While results vary, here are the key factors that impact how much you can save:

  • Home age – Older homes often lack proper sealing or have outdated insulation
  • Square footage – Larger homes typically lose more energy through the attic
  • Current insulation levels – Homes with little or no insulation see the biggest jump in savings
  • Climate – Hot summers and cold winters in Southern California increase the demand on HVAC systems

A quick attic inspection can help identify whether your home is a good candidate for an insulation upgrade.

Local Rebates & Energy Efficiency Incentives

You may qualify for rebates and programs through local utilities like SoCalGas or LADWP. These can offset the cost of insulation and improve your return on investment even faster. Our team stays up to date on available offers and will help you navigate paperwork and eligibility.
