Insulation is the best way to save energy (and money) in a home. Insulation is an area that gets overlooked, yet is the number one way to save money on energy bills.

Today it is easier than ever for builders and homeowner to realize a rapid payback for selecting the most efficient, energy-saving materials.

As homeowners become more concerned about energy costs, indoor air quality and green building techniques, making sure your house is properly insulated is critical. A properly insulated home can realize benefits such as:

• Saving up to 40% on energy bills
• Better indoor air quality
• Moisture control
• Superior sound control
• Environmental satisfaction with the use of approved recyclable materials
• A safe, healthy home environment

Insulation helps keep your home warm in the winter and cool in the summer. There are several common types of insulation—fiberglass (in both batt and blown forms), cellulose, rigid foam board, and spray foam. When correctly installed, each type of insulation can deliver comfort and lower energy bills, especially during the hottest and coldest times of the year.
