Fuel-efficient cars, long-life light bulbs are but a couple of items that can be readily accessed to save energy and the planet in the process. One of the biggest areas of conservation is in home energy use, high-efficiency furnaces and water heaters are commonplace now and as conservation finds new areas to reduce consumption, attic insulation is becoming a growth area for the cost conscious shopper and environmentalist.

Experts tell us that a home heats loss through the roof is 40 per cent of a home’s overall heating and cooling costs. The best way to keep your money from going through the roof is a dense layer of Owens Corning Ecotouch Pink Insulation.

Choosing the right product is only half the battle, having a certified professional with many years experience install the insulation is where it becomes important. If the installer is less than an expert, any savings derived may not be prevalent due to less than stellar work. And in the end, it means another outlay of money to have the right people come and perform the work right to protect your budge and your home.
