Insulation Importance 2 Years, 11 Months ago Karma: 0
If you live in an area where it is consistently cold or "chilly" you need to take care of your insulation. Many families have seen the great benefits of updating their insulation in Wisconsin.

Those who have had their insulation re-done in their house have saved up to $500 ANNUALLY in heating costs alone! Go out, spend the money to fix your insulation, and save your money over time!

Most people do not realize how much of their heat is lost due to bad insulating. Many people loose hundred of dollars of year do to this simple fix. If this problem was fixed by everyone, imagine how much energy we would save a year in a whole.

That is so true. When I replaced all of my insulation, I noticed a different immediately. Not only did I save the money on my heating bill, but I noticed it was warmer inside the house as well. A win-win situation.

A win-win situation.If you feel the walls of your house during a cold period of time and they are cold, the insulation inside the house is either too think, or not properly installed. If that does happen, you MUST fix it right away. I heard that on the news earlier.

If you can't have insulation blown in between the ceiling and roof, or into your walls, you can use different wall hangings to add a layer of protection. They also add color and make for great decor.

If you can find some great Persian Rugs, you can make your spaces feel exotic while staying cozy.

Well, i live in such a place where there's no need of anything like that.
I need insulation in very few things and i generally use M-seal for insulation.
Its easy to use and works well.

It is a good thing to have the ceiling of your house insulated if you are living in cold climates and would like to keep the cozy warmth of your home's interior intact. Having ceiling insulation is vital to prevent heat loss due to dissipation through the ceiling and keeps the house warm in cold weather and cool in the summer.

It is a great way to save on fuel and electricity bills which shoot up during winter when you use the heating systems indiscriminately in a bid to stay warm. The resistance to heat dissipation that is provided by the insulating materials prevents the accumulated heat within the house from waning and seeping out through the ceiling.

I did the spray in foam insulation and it is amazing! My electric bill has been cheap this summer.

A quick update, my summertime electric bill was 98$ for a small home, with 2 people home all day. Insulation is everything!

I would have to agree that chimney insulation is key to getting the most heat for your money.
