Consumer Information
Insulation saves money, increases indoor comfort, and protects the environment by reducing energy usage. According to the U.S. Department of Energy, the typical U.S. family spends close to $1,500 each year on energy bills. Typically 44% of a homeowner's utility bill goes for heating and cooling costs. Homeowners may be able to reduce their energy bills by up to 45% by taking certain insulating measures. One of the most important steps is increasing the amount of insulation in your attic or purchasing additional insulation when buying new homes.
Unless your home was constructed recently, with special attention to energy efficiency, adding insulation will probably reduce your utility bills. Most importantly, if your home is over 20 years old, you can most certainly benefit from adding insulation in your attic, if not in additional areas of your home.
There are many types of insulation; Fiberglass is made from molten sand or recycled glass and is produced in bats, blankets, and loose-fill forms. Rock and slag wool are manufactured similarly to fiberglass, but use natural rock as its raw material. Typical forms are loose-fill, blanket, or board types. Cellulose is a loose-fill made from paper to which flame retardants are added. Foam insulations are available as rigid boards or foamed-in-place materials that can fill and seal blocks or building cavity spaces. A Radiant Barrier is a building construction material consisting of a low emission surface bounded by an open air space. Radiant barriers are used for the purpose of limiting heat transfer by radiation.
