The easiest and the most accessible place for you to add insulation is in the attic, and, fortunately, that's the most important place to add. We'll show you how easy it is for a do-it-yourselfer to do.

It's an easy, two-man job. One person to feed the insulation into the blower, the other to spray it into the attic.

You should consider using recycled cellulose fiber insulation. It's both ecological and user-friendly. Usually about 85% recycled clothing, newspaper, and other organic materials. And... It won't leave you itching and scratching when you're through.

In 2 to 5 hours for the average home, you can add significant insulation to your new house or replace some of the insulation that's been lost over time in your existing home.

Insulation settles over the years, so the r-value goes down. You've probably heard us talk about r-value before. It's simply a measure of the resistance to heat transfer.

A 3- to 4-inch layer will add an r-value of 11 or so, and you'll begin saving money on your monthly utility bills right away. The additional insulation will cost you around 200 dollars for an 1800-square foot house, and the savings on your utility bills should pay back that cost over the next year or so.
