 Just looking for a tad of clarification. |
I was referring to the life cycle cost, which would factor in the initial cost to install the additional insulation, and how long it will take to recover that cost. For a typical house in The Villages, I think it would cost about $1,000 to $2,000 to add about 6 inches of blown-in insulation. Even if you don't save that much money in reduced electricity, you will still be saving energy. You may also benefit with a quieter house, a more even temperature in the winter, and an air conditioner that doesn't need to run as much. You can't have too much insulation in a house.
