Energy efficiency & pest defense

Blown-in insulation services.

Out with tired, contaminated, or pest-damaged insulation — in with a fresh, eco-friendly green-fiber cellulose blanket that seals your home tight. Whether you're fighting high energy bills or recovering from a wildlife problem, Eco Haven removes old loose-fill and re-blows treated cellulose that performs better, quiets your home, and resists rodents and insects.

Two reasons homeowners call

Insulation help — with or without pests

Most of our insulation work falls into one of two buckets. Both finish the same way: a properly sealed, energy-smart home.

After a pest problem

Wildlife or rodents got in

Droppings, urine, and nesting ruin insulation and leave odors and health risks behind. We remove the contaminated material, clean and sanitize the space, then re-blow fresh borate-treated cellulose that resists re-infestation.

Just want lower bills

Your insulation is thin or old

Settled, patchy, or under-spec insulation lets heat pour out in winter and in during summer. We bring your attic up to the right R-value with an even, gap-free cellulose blanket.

Green-fiber cellulose Borate-treated, blown-in
The material

Loose-fill green-fiber cellulose

Green-fiber cellulose is blown-in insulation made from roughly 85% recycled paper and treated with borate. That one material quietly does several jobs at once:

  • Insulates at R-3.2 to R-3.8 per inch — more than loose-fill fiberglass.
  • Resists rodents, insects, and mold thanks to its borate treatment.
  • Carries a Class 1 fire rating — the highest rating insulation can earn.
  • Dampens sound between floors and from outside for a quieter home.
  • Made from recycled content with a low carbon footprint.
  • Why blown-in cellulose

    One upgrade, a long list of wins

    Green-fiber cellulose does more than keep heat in. Here's what a fresh blown-in blanket actually does for your home.

    More R-value, less depth

    At R-3.2 to R-3.8 per inch, cellulose out-insulates loose-fill fiberglass — so you hit target R-values without piling on depth.

    An air-tight seal

    It flows into the gaps batts leave behind and settles into one continuous blanket, cutting the drafts that quietly waste energy.

    Lower energy bills

    A tighter thermal envelope can trim heating and cooling costs by up to 25% — money back in your pocket every month.

    Rodent & insect resistant

    The borate treatment makes the insulation inhospitable to mice, insects, and mold — and pests can't build a tolerance to it.

    A quieter home

    Dense cellulose absorbs sound, cutting noise transfer between rooms, between floors, and from outside by up to 60%.

    Fire-safe & eco-friendly

    Made from about 85% recycled paper and rated Class 1 for fire — the highest rating insulation can earn.

    Why blown-in beats batts

    It settles into an air-tight seal

    Batts and rolls leave seams and gaps around wiring, joists, and odd framing. Blown-in cellulose flows into every cavity, then settles into a single dense, continuous blanket — no cold spots, no air leaks.

  • Flows into every cavity around wiring, joists, and tight framing.
  • Forms one seamless blanket — no seams or cold spots like batts.
  • Settles into a dense, air-tight seal that blocks drafts.
  • Can be blown right over existing insulation that's still in good shape.
  • How it works

    From assessment to air-tight in one visit

    Whether it's a pest cleanup or a straight energy upgrade, the job follows the same careful steps.

  • 01

    Assess & measure

    We inspect the attic, measure your current R-value and depth, and flag gaps, moisture, or pest activity.

  • 02

    Remove old insulation

    We vacuum out settled, contaminated, or pest-damaged loose-fill so we're starting from a clean deck.

  • 03

    Clean & air-seal

    When pests or leaks are involved, we sanitize, deodorize, and seal entry points and air gaps before re-insulating.

  • The upgrade
    04

    Blow in green-fiber

    We install fresh borate-treated cellulose to your target depth for an even, seamless blanket.

  • 05

    Verify & tidy up

    We confirm even coverage and depth, mark a ruler for future reference, and leave the space clean.

    Insulation that's been compromised

    Once mice, bats, squirrels, or raccoons have been in the attic, the insulation is usually a write-off — soaked with urine, packed with droppings and nesting, and carrying odors and health risks. Topping over it only traps the problem. We handle the whole recovery as one job:

  • Remove and bag the contaminated insulation.
  • Clean, sanitize, and deodorize the attic deck.
  • Seal the entry points that let pests in — exclusion, Ridge Guard, and more.
  • Re-blow borate-treated cellulose that resists future nesting.

    FAQ

    Good questions, straight answers

    Do you remove the old insulation, or just add on top?

    Both, depending on what we find. If your existing insulation is clean and dry, we can often blow new cellulose right over it. If it's heavily settled, water-damaged, or contaminated by pests, we remove and haul it away first.

    Is blown-in cellulose safe?

    Yes. Green-fiber cellulose is treated with borate, which earns it a Class 1 fire rating — the highest for insulation — and makes it resistant to mold and pests. It's made from roughly 85% recycled paper.

    Does it really help keep rodents out?

    The borate treatment makes the insulation inhospitable to mice and insects, and pests can't build a tolerance to it. It's a strong deterrent — but not a replacement for sealing entry points, so we pair it with exclusion work.

    How much can I actually save on energy?

    A properly insulated and air-sealed attic can trim heating and cooling costs by up to 25%. The exact savings depend on how under-insulated your home is to start with.

    Doesn't blown-in insulation settle and lose R-value?

    It settles into a denser, more air-tight blanket — which is a good thing. We account for settling by installing to the correct depth, so you keep your target R-value over time.

    How messy is the installation?

    We contain the work area and clean up when we're done. Any contaminated insulation we remove is bagged on-site and hauled away, so nothing lingers in your home.
