Blanket insulation is in a strip form and measure from four to eight feet and is usually placed between wall studs and roof rafters. Loose filled insulation is blown in to hollow walls through holes. The cost associated with insulating your home will vary depending on the size, design, and geographical location of your home, as well as the type of insulation used. It's best to be insulated during construction, but it can be added to existing homes fairly easily. Whatever you pay to insulate your home will be recovered many times over in savings on your energy bills.
Good insulation is cost effective.
Your Home Keeping the warm air in your home and the cold air out is accomplished through winter proofing. Cracked walls should be filled, leaks in your basement fixed, and insulate heating ducts. Of course you should also insulate all windows and doors. Storm doors and windows should be put up as soon as it starts to get cold. Caulk around windows will help keep the cold air from coming in.
