Q: Is doubling up insulation a good idea?

• <div><p>Doubling the insulation in your home also doubles the R-value of said insulation. In other words, by adding more insulation, you can reduce the heat loss by half. Most homes benefit from increasing insulation. Older homes, in particular tend to have less insulation as is, so doubling your insulation could drastically reduce your energy bills, keep your home more comfortable, and take the strain off your HVAC system.</p></div>

Q: How much difference does insulating a basement make?

• <div><p>Heat lost through uninsulated basement walls can account for up to 30% of the total energy lost through heat transfer to the outdoors. While homes in mild climates won't gain as much benefit from having an insulated basement as those in cold climates, the effects are still noticeable on your energy bill.</p></div>

Q: What maintenance is suggested for attic insulation?

• <div><p>Periodic checks for moisture or pest issues ensure consistent performance.</p></div>

Q: What do you put behind board and batten siding?

• <div><p>When installing board and batten siding, make sure there is wall sheathing <i>and</i> a moisture-resistant barrier installed. Behind that sheathing should be plywood or OSB for you to nail the boards and battens into. If there isn&rsquo;t plywood or OSB, you can install vertical furring strips at 1&frac12;- to 2-foot intervals to nail the boards and battens to.</p></div>
