Most homes built before 1930 have no insulation at all. Home built more recently may only be partially insulated. So, what's in your home's walls?
FACT: A well insulated home required less energy to heat in the winter, and to cool in the summer, saving your energy dollars. Cellulose insulation added to your walls and attic will save you money.
FACT: Most homes in the United States are not well insulated. Older homes are particularly vulnerable, leading to high heating and air-conditioning bills. Whether you live in an older home, or one built in the last twenty years, it pays to insulate.
FACT: Insulation - cellulose, fiberglass, foam - provides an effective resistance to the flow of heat. It is never too late to add it to your home.
Cellulose insulation is a natural product that has been made from paper. Not only is it an excellent insulator, it also has the ability to reduce noise up to 90%. It has a class 1 fire rating and is much safer than you would think when you think of newspaper, recycled or not.
Properly insulated walls, attic, and crawlspaces keep your home cool in the summer and warm in the winter. This happens because insulation resists the flow of heat. Heat is always seeks a cooler area - flowing out of the home in the winter and into the home in the summer. By reducing this heat flow, a properly insulated home uses less energy for heating and cooling.
When it comes to the energy efficiency of your home, there are always improvements that can be made. The trick is to know which ones will provide the greatest benefit to you.

Dense packed cellulose insulation not only insulate,s but also stops air leaks through the wall cavities, something fiberglass batts cannot do. And, since cellulose is made from recycled newsprint, it is green, non-toxic and affordable. Save energy with blown insulation!
