How much insulation do I need?

Measure the area and target the right R-value for your climate — R-38 to R-60 in attics, R-13 to R-21 in walls.

Is spray foam worth the extra cost?

Closed-cell foam costs more but delivers the highest R-value per inch and air-seals, which can cut energy bills the most.

How much does it cost to insulate a house?

It depends on area and type — from about $1/ft² for batts to $7/ft² for spray foam, installed.
