Question: What is the cost of my project using your batt insulation?
Answer: The cost of insulating your home can vary from a few hundred dollars to a few thousand dollars depending on how large it is and how much insulation you need. The first step is deciding how much insulation you need. If you are insulating the attic, for example, calculate how much area you will need to cover. The next question to decide is what R-value you need. Are you starting with nothing or is some insulation already in place? The U.S. Department of Energy recommends R-49 for many areas of the country. Finally, you will need to check with a local retailer to determine the exact cost of the insulation you need. There is information online at www.insulateyouratticnow.com. The section titled Prep will be most helpful. Another option, of course, is to call an insulation contractor and get an estimate for the job. Whatever the cost, many homeowners find that the insulation soon pays for itself with energy savings, and it goes on saving energy and expense for years to come.
