When you add insulation to your home, you\u2019ll not only enjoy a more comfortable home throughout the year, but you could also save on your monthly heating and cooling bills.<\/p>\n
Here\u2019s what you need to know about the cost to insulate, the types of insulation available — along with which areas of your home you\u2019ll get the most bang for your buck by adding insulation.<\/p>\n
Insulation costs are variable and depend on:<\/p>\n
These price ranges are estimated and will vary depending on the size of your home and its condition. The bigger the home, the greater the cost.<\/p>\n
Older homes are more expensive to insulate then new ones, as there are more opportunities to improve leaks and other conditions. There may be additional road blocks such as knob and tube wiring that need to be removed first. As a result, the entire house may need to be rewired at a cost which could run in the thousands. Vermiculite in the attic may also need to be removed – which could be pricey. However, insulation makes an older home comfortable, sellable, and energy efficient. In addition,\u00a0Mass Save rebates<\/a>\u00a0may help those who are considering insulating an older home.<\/p>\n Choosing the\u00a0right type of insulation<\/a>\u00a0depends on the room or area of the home you are insulating, the climate in your part of the country, and your budget.<\/p>\n The most important place to insulate is your attic, as it\u2019s the easiest place for expensive heated and cooled air to escape the home. If your budget only allows for insulating one area, this would be it.<\/p>\n Walls are another essential area to insulate and seal air leaks. If you\u2019re insulating existing spaces, blown-in and spray foam will allow you to easily add insulation through small holes cut into the walls.<\/p>\n Once these key areas are well insulated, other areas to consider are garages and crawl spaces. You\u2019ll need to make sure both areas are ventilated and free from moisture for optimal performance and to give your new insulation a long life.<\/p>\n Still think insulation is too expensive?
