Is Insulation an Energy Efficient Technique?

Insulation is really very important thing for homes mostly who gets affected shortly to weather changes so they takes much energy on heating and cooling products, insulation can keep your home warm in winters and cool in summer and reduce energy bills. :)

A quality installation will include a thorough inspection of your duct system, including proper sealing and balancing of duct work, to help ensure that your new system delivers the most comfort and efficiency...

It sure is. I have a Victorian home built in the early 1900s and it was cold in the winter and extremely hot in the summer. I had it properly insulated and saw my seasonal bills decrease by 40%. My return on investment came back 3 years.

I think this will be helpful.. Examples of where to insulate. 1. In unfinished attic spaces, insulate between and over the floor joists to seal off living spaces below. (1A) attic access door 2. In finished attic rooms with or without dormer, insulate (2A) between the studs of "knee" walls, (2B) between the studs and rafters of exterior walls and roof, (2C) and ceilings with cold spaces above. (2D) Extend insulation into joist space to reduce air flows. 3. All exterior walls, including (3A) walls between living spaces and unheated garages, shed roofs, or storage areas; (3B) foundation walls above ground level; (3C) foundation walls in heated basements, full wall either interior or exterior. 4. Floors above cold spaces, such as vented crawl spaces and unheated garages. Also insulate (4A) any portion of the floor in a room that is cantilevered beyond the exterior wall below; (4B) slab floors built directly on the ground; (4C) as an alternative to floor insulation, foundation walls of unvented crawl spaces. (4D) Extend insulation into joist space to reduce air flows. 5. Band joists. 6. Replacement or storm windows and caulk and seal around all windows and doors. Source: Oak Ridge National Laboratory

In my opinion Insulation is for optimal energy efficiency. And, I want to share some suggestion here for insulation consider moisture and air leakage control for your house.
