"This guide from Energy Star will help you determine the right insulation and heating products. If your house isn't sufficiently insulated, adding insulation will make a big difference immediately to your comfort and your energy bills. Ideally, you'll want to layer your insulation, using a mixture of batts in the attic and either fill or spray foam (which can also act as an air barrier) in the walls so your home is fully insulated."
Rising energy costs and climate concerns are prompting homeowners to improve home energy efficiency. Begin winter energy efforts immediately by scheduling a home energy audit to identify the most effective, targeted improvements. Ensure adequate insulation for the local climate, and add or layer insulation where needed to boost comfort and lower bills. Use a combination of attic batts and wall fill or spray foam to create thermal and air barriers. If heating costs dominate, consider alternative heating sources such as pellet stoves or upgrading to a geothermal heat pump to offset expensive heating bills.
