Home insulation is an important factor in keeping utility costs down and to lower your energy usage. It is typically measured in terms of R-value, which represents greater power and resistance to heat flow. Usually, higher R-values are recommended for ceilings rather than for the walls and floors, but each house should come with a suggested R-value depending upon the climate conditions of your area, the size of your home, and what kind of HVAC unit you use. Home insulation comes in a variety of forms (batting, blankets, loose-fill) depending on where it’s being used in the house. It is best to remember though: typically the recommended R-values only give you a minimal number for house, not the optimal amount which is probably needed for the most comfort and savings. So it is best to check with professionals to see how much home insulation you should use.
