Licensed, CSIA-certified technicians providing expert attic insulation to homeowners across Avalon on Catalina Island.
Most Avalon homes are under-insulated in the attic, leading to high cooling costs and uncomfortable summer temperatures indoors. Eco Grizzly installs blown-in fiberglass, blown-in cellulose, and batt insulation throughout Avalon, Hamilton Cove, Pebbly Beach, Catalina Island to bring attics up to the R-38 to R-60 levels recommended for this climate zone. We also air-seal penetrations before adding insulation to maximize energy savings. Avalon's unique island location means building materials and equipment must be transported by barge, adding logistical complexity to chimney and fireplace projects. Many homes have compact fireplace systems suited to the mild island climate.
