To achieve the maximum thermal efficiency and comfort it is important to insulate any space were energy could be lost. For optimum energy savings and comfort, consider adding additional insulation to your home.

1. Attics & Ceilings
Fiber glass insulation in attics and flat ceilings makes the home more resistant to energy loss and lowers energy bills. To achieve R-values of R-38 and higher, two layers of fiber glass batts can be used and their R-value combined. For example, an R-19 batt added to an R-30 will yield an R-49. When installing a second layer, always use unfaced insulation. Also, it is recommended that the second layer be applied across the joists. Fiber glass or mineral wool loose-fill insulation can also be used.
