"Amazing response and amazing job done, in a short amount of time. I have known for awhile that I needed more insulation in the attic. I started to search for insulation companies in the area. I quickly started seeing a pattern with reviews on other companies. All of them were, "called 15 times, never called back", "agreed on a start date but never showed up", "showed up but didn't know what was needed"... I was dreading making any decision on who to call. But then finally a company stood out above all the rest, Energy Nerds. I called Mike and left a message. He called back within an hour and even apologized for not calling back sooner! What?!? I called him on a Friday afternoon, he said he would be out Sunday afternoon and the job was completed by that evening! Truly amazing work done in a short amount of time. Mike and Dustin are great friendly people. Very knowledge in cutting edge technology to help you save money with energy costs. Mike is well informed so if you have any other energy saving needs, please talk with him. I would not hesitate to hire them again. Truly a pleasure to work with."

Many major home improvement retailers offer free machine rentals when you purchase a minimum quantity of insulation material, often 20 to 30 bags. These promotions vary by location and season, so calling ahead to confirm current offers is recommended. Be sure to understand any time limitations that apply to these free rentals, as they may restrict you to a specific return window, often 24 hours from checkout.
For most residential attics under 1,500 square feet, a standard consumer-grade blower available at rental centers will provide adequate performance. Larger spaces or projects requiring greater insulation depth may benefit from higher-capacity equipment.
When consulting with the rental provider, mention your attic's square footage, desired insulation depth, and accessibility conditions to receive appropriate equipment recommendations for your specific situation.
DIY installation saves between $160 and $560 in labor costs for standard attic installations requiring four to eight hours of work. These savings must be weighed against equipment rental fees of $50 to $210 per day and the value of your personal time. For more complex installations like wall insulation, which can require 20+ hours of professional labor (costing $800 or more), the potential savings increase substantially, though so does the project complexity.
While there's a learning curve, most homeowners can master the basics with some practice. Key techniques include maintaining consistent material flow into the hopper, controlling hose direction effectively, and preventing clogs in the system.
Starting in less visible areas allows you to refine your technique before moving to more prominent spaces. Thoroughly reviewing the equipment manual and watching instructional videos beforehand significantly improves first-time success rates.
Standard rental periods provide 24 hours of use, though specific terms vary by provider. Some locations calculate this as a calendar day, while others track a full 24-hour period from checkout time. Clarify the exact return deadline when renting, and plan your project timeline accordingly. Late returns often incur additional daily charges at the full rental rate, which can quickly increase your project cost if not managed carefully.
