Cheapest Insulation

The cheapest insulation is not always the best buy. The cheapest insulation per R value is the fiberglass roll insulation. This comes in different widths and thicknesses for your convenience. Do not use insulation made for 2 x 6 studs in 2 x 4 studded walls. You will have to crush the insulation in, therefore decreasing the R value. The cheapest board insulation is probably the Styrofoam type. This insulation has very low R value breaks very easy. You will be better off getting a high density foam board insulation. Stay warm this winter, insulate now.

Dryer Vents

Don't forget about the dryer vents this winter. Seal around the perimeter with good clear silicone caulking. A well maintained dryer will run more efficiently. Keep the vent clear and unobstructed of objects to help prevent a fire. Dried lint will build up in these vents and it is highly flammable. If you do not use your dryer, seal these vents off to prevent heat loss. See you later.

Water Lines

Hi everyone. How is everybody? Before freezing weather sets in, make sure you wrap your water pipes with insulation. There is special insulation made for water lines and pipes. There is a foam piece in the in the shape of the pipe with a slit down the length for easy installation. Also available is heated insulation wrap which is more expensive, but is an excellent investment. You can also wrap the pipes with fiberglass roll insulation. If a pipe freezes and breaks, it will be much more costly than the money you spend on insulating them. So get on it and insulate them now. See you all later.

The Heat Is On

In parts of the world near the equator it is hot every day. And I mean hot. To run air conditioning all the time cost lots of money. It is also the cause of frequent brown outs. If every one insulated their homes and businesses better, then demand for energy would go down and perhaps no more brown outs. Windows are a big energy loss. so install insulated glass windows to help your house stay cool. See you all later.

It has been below freezing now and you can feel winter in the wind. It is not to late to insulate for this coming winter. The cheapest insulation will even help to keep your house warm. If your house is poorly insulated, then anything you add to it will help tremendously. The cheapest insulation is probably the Styrofoam board insulation. This usually comes in 4 x 8 sheets and sometimes 2 x 8 sheets. The easiest money savings is to blow in insulation in your attic. The cheapest insulation of this type is called cellulose insulation. It is real dusty to work with but it has real good insulating value. Have a great weekend everybody.

Winter Creeps Closer

Check your windows now to see if there is any draft. Hold a lit candle around in different ares to see if the flame is being blown. If you detect where the draft is coming in at, that spot needs sealed. Winter creeps closer and you need to catch the small things now. See you next time.
