In Los Angeles and Southern California, there are many homes and businesses that are un- or under- insulated; and yet, given the relatively warm weather year-round and the occasional chilly day during the winter, you can greatly increase your home’s comfort level and energy efficiency by investing in new insulation.
Insulating your attic and/or ceilings can save you more on your energy bill than most other insulation upgrades, so that attic and ceiling insulation should be one of the first areas of concern when re-insulating your home.
At Pure Eco, we can handle your attic/ceiling insulation job from beginning to end. We can give you a quick quote over the phone and then a more detailed estimate once we arrive on-site and take all the necessary measurements. We do not charge for estimates and they are no-obligation.

Pure Eco can seal your attic’s air leaks, or any air leaks in your ceilings, before we install your new insulation. By covering over major holes with plywood, drywall, or another suitable material, and sealing smaller cracks and crevices with appropriate caulks/sealants, we can stop the “unauthorized” flow of conditioned air through your ceilings and through your roof.

The “R” Value of an insulation product or of a ceiling or wall is a measurement of the resistance of the material to heat-conduction through it. The higher the R-Value, the harder it is for heat to move in or out of your home or a floor/room through the product.
The lowest R-Value is 19, but you can get R-Values over 50. It all depends on the insulation material and its being installed properly. The Department of Energy recommends the following R-Value minimums:
R-30
For Warm Climates
R-38
For Temperate Climates
R-49
For Cold Climates
Choosing your insulation material for your attic or ceiling is important, but it’s also crucial that it be installed in a way that gets the most out of it. At Pure Eco, we know how to effectively, quickly, and safely install all manner of blown and batts insulation in any and all Los Angeles Area attics and ceilings.
We have a long track record of delivering 100% satisfaction to Southern California home and business owners as to the quality of attic and ceiling insulation services.
We always ensure air leaks are detected and eliminated before laying down insulation.
We cover over ceiling joists to up R-Value and minimize thermal bridging through the joists.
We ensure blown in insulation is compact and at a sufficient depth; and we ensure batts fill in spaces as much as possible.
We ensure blown insulation is at an even depth across the attic floor.
We keep the blower hose parallel to the floor joists and blow insulation between/over joists instead of across them to ensure a more compact fill.
We never lay heavier batts on top of lighter batts when "doubling up," since that would compress the lower batts and lower their R-Value.
When we need to cut batts to size when going around obstructions of fitting them into non-standard inter-joist spaces. Simply stuffing them in would compress them and hurt the R-Value.

At Pure Eco, we can install blown or batts insulation in your attic and ceiling using optimal installation methods.
These insulations come in a variety of materials as well, each with its on advantages.
Blown insulation is a common choice for the attic floor. We can blow it in using an insulation truck, blower, and hose, and we can access any area of your home as needed.
Blown insulation fills in spaces very effectively, more compactly than batts. It can fill between rafters in both the attic and inside of ceilings.
In fact, it is possible to use it in walls as well, and it is ideal for odd-shaped areas that need insulating since it conforms to the shape of the space being insulated. If your attic has non-standard joist spacing or many obstructions to insulate around, loose-fill is a great option.
Blown insulation is widely available in the following material types:
Batts insulation will fit between standard-spaced rafters in your attic and ceilings. It may require a vapor barrier backing to prevent condensation build up. It is generally cheaper and easier to install than blown insulation, though it may not fill in spaces as compactly. But, rightly installed, batts is more than adequate for many situations.
Batts typically come in paper or foil backed rolls. The width will normally be 16 or 24 inches to correspond to standard inter-joist spaces.
You can layer batts to increase the insulating power, but you don’t want a vapor barrier in the middle since that could cause a moisture problem. And you need to face the batts the proper direction (up or down, relative to the vapor barrier paper/foil backing) based on the climate zone. At Pure Eco, we know the details on how to optimally install batts insulation in your attic/ceilings.
Common batts insulation materials include:
At Pure Eco, we are familiar with many government sponsored rebate and incentive programs, one or more of which may apply to your energy efficiency upgrade.
To help lower our “collective carbon footprint,” California and local counties and cities often invest in making homeowners’ attics and ceilings more energy efficient and “earth friendly,” just like you do!
There may be federal tax credits that apply when you “weatherize” your home as well, though many of these programs expired in 2011. We can check to see if any still apply, but your best bet is state and local incentives.
You can check for energy efficiency incentives state by state by clicking this energy.gov link and running a search on California. Or, you can check this SoCal link to search for possible rebates and incentives that may apply to your project.
However, you can just ask our staff at Pure Eco, and given your project’s parameters, we can find out which government programs you would qualify for.
At Pure Eco, we can find ways to save you money upfront and month to month by boosting your energy efficiency and lowering your heating and cooling bills. We can assess your project quickly and give you an accurate, upfront estimate and schedule your project start date at the soonest possible date that is convenient to you.
Attic insulation services offer several benefits for homeowners in Los Angeles, starting with temperature regulation. Insulating your attic helps maintain a comfortable indoor temperature by reducing heat transfer between the attic and the living space. In the summer, this keeps hot air from entering your home, and in the winter, it prevents warm air from escaping.
At the same time, attic insulation increases the energy efficiency of your home.
In addition, attic insulation enhances indoor air quality by preventing the entry of dust, allergens, and pollutants into your living space. This can lead to improved air quality and a healthier home environment.
Finally, attic insulation helps reduce the risk of condensation and moisture-related issues such as mold, mildew, and rot. This not only protects the structural integrity of your home but also reduces the health risks associated with mold exposure.
Typical signs that your attic may require insulation or an upgrade includes uneven indoor temperatures. If you notice that some rooms in your home are consistently colder or warmer than others, it could be due to inadequate insulation in your attic. Drafts and cold spots in your home, particularly near the ceiling, can also be a sign of insufficient attic insulation.
In addition, you may be experiencing high energy bills. If your energy bills are higher than expected or higher than those of similar homes in your area, it may be time for an upgrade.
To accurately assess your attic’s insulation and determine if it needs to be upgraded or replaced, consider hiring a professional attic insulation contractor in Los Angeles like Pure Eco. We can identify problem areas, evaluate the effectiveness of your current insulation, and recommend the best solutions to improve your home’s energy efficiency.
