Frequently Asked Questions

What type of insulation is most cost-effective? +

Blown-in fiberglass and cellulose insulation are generally the most cost-effective options at $0.50-$1.50 per square foot installed. Spray foam costs more ($1.50-$5+/sq ft) but provides higher R-value per inch and acts as an air barrier.

How much insulation do I need? +

The amount depends on your climate zone and where you're insulating. The DOE recommends R-38 to R-60 for attics and R-13 to R-23 for walls in most US climate zones. Our calculators factor in your specific requirements.
