Insulation levels

Department of Energy: Insulation Recommendations.


Did you know that your insulation levels in your roof can save you $. With new reccomendations by the DOE, Mn R-values should be between R-49 to R60. You can get a free energy audit if you look in the right places! :)

I am going to start with some personal aspects of my day to day routine. I have been a Canvass Supervisor (door to door knocking). I have been working for this company; Boulder Creek Builders for over 3 years. Due to economic times we are still in business for the consumers. During warmer months we offer assistance to homeowners who have storm damage, may need replacement windows, siding roofing and gutters. We take care of everything. Now that we live in Minnesota, The Department of Energy has new Attic Insulation Recommendations. These guidelines are for new construction and homes that will be put on the market. This does not mean if you are a homeowner you don’t want to be up to this code! With that in mind did you know that you could save over 30K by having your home properly insulated!! Now who really climbs on a roof in the winter, unless you are trying to get rid of the build up of snow on your roof that will create icicles? I have learned a lot of techniques and have done enough research to know what to look for when a person is in need of attic insulation. My questions to you with these recommendations are you going to stop climbing on your roof to get rid of icicles? When properly insulated homes do not have icicle problems.

Introduction

So what makes a blog? I believe is is something that all people share some things they deal with in their daily life. I am not a typical blogger, now that I have started it is hard to stop! I was more into reading my friends blogs on myspace and their status updates on myspace and Facebook! My favorite thing about blogging is to get my thoughts out to more than just friends and family but to the general public. I am excited to share my knowledge with you. I think the most challenging thing to do when it comes to blogging is to blog about something that is important to you and others that will have an impact on them.
