Since
home heating is the single largest expense in your family's energy budget, it
offers the greatest opportunities for savings.
Q. Can insulation save me money?
A: Yes! Good insulation is the single most important
factor in reducing the amount of energy needed to heat and cool your home. Adequate insulation can reduce your heating
and cooling bill by as much as 50%.
Five to seven inches in the attic floor and three inches in all outside
walls are recommended. Storm windows
and doors added to a well-insulated home will reduce heating and cooling costs
even more.
