Greetings all. New to the board here and have a question about attic insulation. I bought a home in July and the electric bills this summer were staggering. $500 plus a month is ridiculous for a 2500 sq foot home. Its 2 levels but only over half of the house. the rest just has high ceilings. The insulation is meager at best. The attic access only allows access to half the attic and the rest is blocked by extensive duct work and the pitch of the roof. I can just barely see past the duct work out into the expanse of open dead space that is over the high ceiling in the living room and kitchen. I really want to spray in attic batting but dont want to take down the duct work and remove the air handlers. I am wondering if it would be advisable or feasible to cut an opening into the ceiling of the kitchen and formal dining area to spray in insulation? Or would it be better to call in an HVAC co to remove the ducting for me so I can access the space? any help is greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance.
Jon
