Eco-Friendly Insulation for Homes & New Builds
Looking for a reliable insulation contractor in Bakersfield or the surrounding Kern County area? At Broken Drum Insulation of Bakersfield, we specialize in cellulose insulation installation for new construction and existing homes throughout the region. Bakersfield’s hot summers and cool winter nights put real demand on your home’s HVAC system, and the right insulation makes all the difference in keeping energy bills low and indoor temperatures comfortable year-round. Whether you’re a homeowner upgrading an older house or a builder working on a new development, our team delivers energy-efficient cellulose insulation solutions built to perform in the Central Valley climate.
Why Choose Cellulose Insulation?
Cellulose insulation is made from up to 80% recycled paper, treated with fire-retardant and insect-resistant additives, making it one of the greenest insulation options on the market. Because it’s blown-in (loose-fill), cellulose conforms to oddly shaped spaces, tight corners, and obstructions that rigid batt insulation often can’t reach, giving you more complete, gap-free coverage throughout your attic and walls.
Benefits of Cellulose Insulation:
- Lower Energy Bills – Improved thermal performance reduces the workload on your HVAC system, translating into real savings on monthly utility bills.
- Year-Round Comfort – Better temperature regulation keeps your home cooler during Bakersfield summers and warmer on cool winter nights.
- Reduced Noise – Cellulose’s dense fill helps dampen sound between rooms and from outside, creating a quieter home.
- Improved HVAC Efficiency – With less air leakage, your heating and cooling systems don’t have to work as hard, which can extend their lifespan.
- Eco-Conscious Choice – Made primarily from recycled paper, cellulose is one of the most environmentally responsible insulation materials available today.

Frequently Asked Questions About Cellulose Insulation
Is cellulose insulation safe for my home?
Yes! It’s treated with non-toxic fire retardants and is safe for residential use.
How long does cellulose insulation last?
Properly installed cellulose can last 20–30 years or more without settling significantly.

How does cellulose compare to fiberglass?
Cellulose offers better air sealing and soundproofing, and it’s more eco-friendly due to its recycled content.
Will cellulose insulation help with Bakersfield’s summer heat?
Yes. Cellulose slows heat transfer, helping keep hot Central Valley air out of your home in summer and warm air in during cooler months, easing the load on your HVAC system.

Cost depends on the size of your project and which areas are being insulated (attic, walls, or crawl space). Contact us for a free, no-obligation quote tailored to your home.
