Insulate When You Renovate

Do You Need Insulation?

According to the EPA nine out of 10 homes in the U.S. do not have enough insulation but unless you’re building new, it’s not always cost effective (or desirable) to take down all the walls in your house to add insulation. That said, there is one time when it makes perfect sense to add or replace old, damaged insulation – when you renovate!

Not only is insulation critical to improving a home’s energy efficiency, it can also improve acoustics and help with air quality. Use this handy flowchart to help you decide if now is the right time to add insulation to your walls.
