Assessment First
Energy audit identifies priorities. Air leaks major concern. Insulation effectiveness measured. Payback period calculated.
Attic Priority
Heat rises and escapes. R-38 to R-60 recommended. Air sealing before insulation. Ventilation maintained properly.
Wall Options
Blown-in fills existing walls. Exterior continuous insulation thorough. Dense-pack cellulose effective. Spray foam seals and insulates.
Basement and Crawl
Rim joist often neglected. Floor insulation depends on use. Vapor barriers properly placed. Encapsulation for crawl spaces.
