Many homes are poorly insulated, with cold floors and walls.They're not only uncomfortable,they're very expensive to heat. A thorough reinsulating job can cut your annual heating bill by up to 50%.Even a modest improvement can save 20-30% annually.If your bill is now $300,a 30% saving would reduce it to $210. An investment in insulation should be paid back in five years at present fuel prices.As prices are rising,it makes even better sense to insulate now.
