Typically, the garage attic is not insulated. We have a 2000 sq ft east facing designer home. I've added insulation throughout the house, lani, and garage. The depth of insulation is 2 feet - it was blown in. I also insulated the garage doors with styrofoam panels obtained at Lowes (there is a specific kit for this). Previously, the garage and lani were not insulated.
The difference is noticeable and I believe well worth the $$. Don't do a "refresh", but obtain a couple of quotes. Have the quoting company either survey your existing insulation or require 2 feet of depth throughout - don't just fall for a R38 depth unless they define how deep the insulation will be. That way you can measure and verify.

Thanks for the feedback. So the Insulation "refresh" from the Solar Guys means they add a fixed amount, 4 or 7 inches or whatever you want of blown in insulation. We purchased the house 2 years ago and the inspector said the insulation was adequate and I can go look to see the number of inches since there are these ruler gauges all over. I've had them install insulation over my Lanai and it all worked out well. I'm always concerned that the guy blowing in the insulation will fall through the ceiling but they did a nice clean job and they do it every day in the Villages.
