Highlights
Insulate your ceilings to R-49. Install vapor retarders in non-vented framed ceilings. Since heat travels from the warmer to the colder parts of any system, a properly insulated home will cut back the flow of heat to the outside via your attic. As well, the same insulation will keep your house cooler in the summertime.
Select a 'Formaldehyde-Free' insulation to save on air quality and health, and you can now buy green insulation made from materials like recyclable blue jeans, newspapers, or other cellulose materials, and soy, cotton or sheep wool batting.
The ROI Calculation is based on saving $10 a month over the course of the year. Plus get Tax Credits: 10% of cost not to exceed $500 total.

To ensure effective and long lasting insulation
make sure to allow for air flow from the roof
soffits to rise up through vent panels to the
ridge vents. The vent panels are applied
before the insulation goes in with the vapor
barrier on the ‘warm’ side of the house.
