How much does ineffective insulation cost?

Old urban legends would tell us that insulation is a mere ritual, devoid of true meaning. Like many legends, this idea does not stand up to the facts: the “science of insulation” has undergone many developments and improvements over the last few decades.

On the contrary, botched or ill-planned insulation is environmentally unfriendly (due to wasted energy), and it creates constant discomfort, not to mention major heating and air conditioning costs.

The day when someone decides it’s time to remedy the situation, they’ll be looking at a major expense – it’s always more expensive to redo things than to do them right from the start!

Finally, new standards were implemented in 2012.
