Retrofit Your Walls with Drill and Fill Insulation
Upgrade your wall insulation & reduce your high energy bills
Hidden spots within your walls can cost you money. If you’re looking for cost-effective ways to insulate and weatherize your home. Our Drill-and-Fill application uses a loose-fill insulation material that is blown into the wall from a small hole our team cuts into the wall. This barrier seals cracks and openings around objects that lead outdoors, such as pipes, cabling, basement doors, and more.
Walls that are cold to touch are a sign your insulation needs upgrading
Insulation makes a noticeable difference in comfort in every season
Drill & Fill is a non-invasive technique to install insulation into the inside or outside walls of your home

Upgrade Your Wall Insulation & Reduce Your High Energy Bills.
Today, there are many residential homes (both old and new) that are being “retrofitted” with insulation. An insulation retrofit is simply an upgrading to ensure that “conditioned” air is kept within the home. In the winter, it means keeping warm air from escaping to the outdoors, and in summer it means keeping the cooled air from escaping. The insulation creates energy efficiency.
Homes Without Proper Wall Insulation Experience Home Comfort Issues Such As:
- Excessively high heating or cooling costs
- Uneven heating and cooling throughout the home
- HVAC system (the furnace and air conditioner) is “overworking”
- Walls that are noticeably cold to the touch
The drill-and-fill process is an innovative and effective installation where existing walls (interior or exterior) require insulation upgrading. Simply put, small holes are strategically drilled into the wall, between the wall studs. Loose fill insulation (often comprised of cellulose) is then carefully blown into the empty wall cavities. On completion, the holes are patched and the wall finished.
DIY or Professional Retrofit Drill and Fill
In terms of insulating products, the drill-and-fill retrofit is ideally suited for loose-fill insulation. It’s a product recommended by the professionals at Great Northern Insulation, primarily based on its performance value. The loose fill product is blown into a wall through the pre-drilled holes, and easily conforms to the empty cavity space – the product does not disturb the wall structure. One of the benefits of retrofit drill-and-fill is that it can be installed from the interior walls of the home or the exterior walls. Completing the installation via the exterior walls can be very advantageous, especially where interior access isn’t possible. And for some homeowners, this could be the ultimate insulation retrofit – with upgraded R-Values that deliver substantial energy savings throughout the seasons.
- Caution! Performing a DIY attic insulation installation may result in injury, additional costs, and improper installation.
Because loose fill insulation easily conforms to a given space, it doesn’t disturb or disrupt any physical structure - like enclosed, pre-existing walls. This means that an insulation upgrade can be performed without the need to do a full-scale renovation. In fact, the drill-and-fill approach can be performed on drywall, plaster, stucco, brick, wood siding, even vinyl siding. The insulation professionals at Great Northern Insulation are highly experienced when it comes to Retrofit Drill and Fill.
