Investing in insulation is a good way to reduce energy consumption in the home. The homeowner must determine where adding insulation will be most cost effective. Attics are usually the place to start, followed by floors and walls.

Even if the work is performed by a contractor, the informed homeowner will benefit by his knowledge of materials and procedures.
