Insulation
First, check the insulation in your attic, ceilings, exterior and basement walls, floors, and crawl spaces to see if it meets the levels recommended for your area. Insulation is measured in R-values – the higher the R-value, the better your walls and roofs will resist the transfer of heat.
What You Should Know About R-Values:
There are factors to consider before you buy insulation. The amount you need depends mainly on the climate you live in. Also, your fuel savings from insulation will depend upon the climate, the type and size of your house, the amount of insulation already in your house and your fuel use patterns and family size. If you buy too much insulation, it will cost you more than what you'll save on fuel. To get the marked R-value, it is essential that insulation be installed properly.
Blowing the wall with Cellulose Insulation to a non-settling, minimum, three-pound density using the Dry Pac Wall System all but eliminates the convective air problems, as the cellulose is driven pneumatically into every crack and void. Electric boxes and wiring are encapsulated by high density Cellulose Insulation.
America's builders are switching to totally Cellulose Insulated homes...The energy efficiency and sound attenuation numbers are phenomenal! Each year, 67 million tons of paper (wood fiber from trees) goes into America's landfills. This recoverable resource is a phenomenal, natural insulation, which when properly installed in walls, attics and under floors will reduce energy consumption dramatically.
