Proper InsulationOne of the most effective methods to improve the efficiency of your home is to provide proper insulation in your walls, roof and floors. Insulation prevents heat transfer from the indoor and outdoor environments and can greatly reduce your monthly utility bills. It is measured by R-values and the higher the R-value, the greater the resistance to heat transfer. For recommendations on the proper amount of insulation for your home visit the DOE Zip Code Insulation Calculator. |
