Does your home need more insulation?
You must first find out how much insulation you already have to
determine how much more would be cost-effective. Many older homes
have less insulation than homes built today. You will need to
measure the thickness of the insulation, and identify which type of
insulation was used. Compare your findings with the Department of
Energy recommended levels of insulation. Without proper attic
insulation, your utility bills can be higher than they should be!
Making the Decision to Insulate
The amount of money you are willing to invest in your insulation
will depend upon your budget, but remember, your initial investment
will pay for itself in reduced energy usage. Other ways to save
money include rebates and tax credits. Your local utility company
has information on any rebates they offer. For example, for
qualified homeowners, MidAmerican Energy has a rebate of 70% off the
installed insulation cost, up to $600. Please visit their website,
www.midamericanenergy.com/homecheckor call toll free 800-545-0762.
The Energy Policy Act of 2005 offers a consumers’ Federal tax
credit. A tax credit is generally more valuable than an equivalent
tax deduction because a tax credit reduces taxes dollar-for-dollar,
while a deduction only removes a percentage of the taxes that are
owed. The Federal tax credit is 10% of cost, not to exceed
$500 total. Lower energy consumption, rebates, and tax credits will
ultimately pay for the initial insulation cost within a short period
of time.
What Kind of Insulation Should You Buy?
There are several types of insulation you can consider. However,

Our insulation kills cockroaches, termites, ants, silverfish,
earwigs, crickets, sow bugs, darkling beetles, millipedes,
centipedes, and booklice. Our insulation is made from all-natural
ingredients and recycled newsprint, thus while you’re controlling
pests and saving energy, you’re conserving landfill space. Our
