Default Definitely worth it to me
I insulated the garage doors and noticed it was not nearly as hot as before. The sun shines on our garage door all day and it would just radiate heat into the garage. Afterwards, it's probably 5-10 degrees cooler. Then we added R38 insulation over the garage and noticed at least as big a difference as the garage door did. Finally, I do a lot out in the garage so we added a Mitsubishi split unit. We now keep the garage at 78 degrees for just a few dollars extra electricity a month. That's our experience and would do it all again as we're very happy with the results.
