Insulation reduces average home heating and cooling costs by around 30% and reduces the burden of increasing energy prices. Furthermore, the cost of installing insulation pays for itself in around 3-5 years through reduced energy bills, and payback time will improve as energy costs rise over time.
Upfront investment in insulation is much more effective spending than other options as it is a once only cost that last for the life of the building (typically 50-70 years) and requires no further maintenance.
Developers, home-owners and architects will find that insulation improves property values and has been shown to increase the return on rented and leased properties. Ultimately, insulation is not expensive. To insulate the ceilings and walls of a typical house costs less than 1% of the total construction cost.
