Local energy companies, especially ones generating power from coal-fired plants, are being encouraged by various federal and state initiatives to support consumers and businesses to implement energy-saving programs.
Visit your local utility company’s website or office to find out what incentives are available.
Each program of incentives has requirements. Make sure you understand the incentives before beginning your project.
Go to the US Energy Star program website.
It depends on where you live. Get the R-values for your geographic area to learn your potential insulation savings.
Every product has a different R-value so make sure you read the packaging carefully.
If your insulation is 6 inches or less in the attic, you should add more.
You can always add more insulation in the attic on top of the existing insulation to achieve more energy savings and comfort.
No, since adding more insulation has a cumulative impact on the overall R-value. If the insulation in your attic is old or not securely in place, for both products, you should remove it and fill it in with fresh blown-in cellulose insulation.
Blow in new insulation on top of the existing insulation and improve the overall quality and R-value.
In walls, contractors can install the new insulation by compressing existing insulation in the wall cavity and completely sealing the wall cavity with productive cellulose insulation.
There are several ways to find contractors in your area including your local energy company, the Yellow Pages, or a cellulose insulation manufacturer.
With cellulose insulation, we don't recommend a vapor retarder unless there is freezing weather or a high-humidity area such as a pool or a spa.
However, many building codes require an air barrier or vapor retarder to be installed. Check your local building codes for compliance.
