Why should I insulate my home?
Is it only a new house that can be insulated — or can more be added to an older home? Can I do it myself or do I need a professional?
As you read this section, you'll discover that installing or adding insulation is neither difficult nor particularly expensive. Insulation conserves heating energy which in turn saves you money.
Step-by-step instructions show you how to fit insulation into a wall, over a ceiling, or under a floor. Special problems are dealt with: how to insulate an attic, or what to do about a cold basement or sealed-up walls.
WHY INSULATE?
Two things happen when insulation is added to your new or existing home. First, and most important, you
save energy because you use less fuel for heating. Secondly, you feel warmer and more comfortable.
