Insulation Tips:

• Consider factors such as your climate, building design, and budget when selecting insulation
R-values for your home.

• Use higher density insulation on exterior walls, such as rigid foam boards, in cathedral ceilings and on exterior walls.

• Ventilation helps with moisture control and reducing summer cooling bills. Attic vents can be installed along the entire ceiling cavity to help ensure proper airflow from the soffit to the attic to make a home more comfortable and energy efficient. Do not ventilate your attic if you have insulation on the underside of the roof. Check with a qualified contractor.

• Recessed light fixtures can be a major source of heat loss, but you need to be careful how close you place insulation next to a fixture unless it is marked IC - designed for direct insulation contact. Check your local building codes for recommendations. See Lighting for more about recessed cans.

• As specified on the product packaging, follow the product instructions on installation and wear the proper protective gear when installing insulation.

Long-Term Savings Tip: One of the most cost-effective ways to make your home more comfortable year-round is to add insulation to your attic.
