Insulation = Energy Savings (Part 1)
A well insulated house has high energy efficiency for all the energy used in heating and cooling is maintained indoors where it should be and not out into the environment. Sadly no home is perfectly insulated and even the most high tech homes have some inefficiency in terms of insulation. The work that is needed to properly insulate a home is quite large and it should be done when major roof repairs are carried out.
