The amount of energy you conserve will depend on several factors: your local climate; the size, shape, and construction of your house; the living habits of your family; the type and efficiency of the heating and cooling systems; and the fuel you use. Once the energy savings have paid for the installation cost, energy conserved is money saved - and saving energy will be even more important as utility rates go up. This fact sheet will help you to understand how insulation works, what different types of insulation are available, and how much insulation makes sense for your climate.

When insulating walls, fiberglass batt insulation is used to install in open cavities (such as new construction or remodeling where we can access the inside of the wall). Blow-in fiberglass insulation is blown into walls of existing homes. This is done by creating small access holes in the walls and blowing the insulation into the space with a machine. Cellulose insulation is made from recycled newspaper and is a popular choice for many homeowners. As with fiberglass, cellulose insulation can be blown in to nearly any space including both attics and walls.
Residential custom home insulation is the bread and butter of RBH Insulation!

As of 2016, the California Energy Commission has set a standard for the way insulation should be installed in a home called Quality Insulation Installation (QII).
