Frequently Asked Questions About Weather Blanket Insulation
What tax credits are available?
The tax law is constantly changing so for the latest information visit: http://www.energystar.gov or www.irs.gov.
Are there incentives available from my local utility company?
Local utility companies, especially ones generating the power from coal-fired plants, are being encouraged by various federal and state initiatives to support consumers and businesses to implement energy saving programs. Check with your local utility company’s website or local office to find out what incentives are available in your area.
What do I need to do to qualify for these incentives?
Each program of incentives will provide the requirements. Make sure you understand them before beginning your work.
Where can I find information on other energy-saving opportunities?
A good source for energy-saving tips is the Energy Star program website from the US Government at: www.energystar.gov.
How much more insulation should I install?
Each area of the country has different recommended R-values for insulation. Click on this map (link map to the savings calculator page) to find out the recommended R-values for your area and use our insulation calculator to see your potential savings.
How do I know the R-value of my current insulation?
Every product has a different R-value so make sure you read the packaging carefully.
As a rule of thumb, if you have six inches or less in the attic, it would be smart to add more insulation. Use this map to determine what total R-value is recommended for your area.
You can always add more insulation in the attic on top of the existing insulation to achieve even more energy savings and comfort. Use our insulation calculator (link the text insulation calculator to the savings calculator page) to see how much you can save.
Do I have to take out the insulation that is already there?
Not necessarily, since adding more insulation has a cumulative impact on the overall R-value. In the attic, if the insulation is old or not securely in place in the case of both products, it might make sense to remove it and fill in with fresh blown-in Cellulose insulation. You can also just blow in new insulation on top of the existing insulation and improve the overall quality and R-value.
In walls, it is possible for contractors to install the new insulation in a manner that compresses existing insulation in the wall cavity and completely seal the wall cavity with performance-enhancing cellulose insulation.
How do I find a contractor?
There are several sources to find contractors in your area including your local utility company, the Yellow Pages, or Cellulose insulation manufacturer.
Do I need a vapor retarder?
With cellulose insulation we do not recommend a vapor retarder unless there is extremely cold weather or a high humidity area such as a pool or a spa. However, many building codes do require an air barrier or vapor retarder to be installed. Check your local building codes for compliance.
How much money can I save installing more insulation?
For a general idea on how much you could save on your utility bills by increasing your insulation use our savings calculator.

Check the product packaging for R-value information. Generally, if your attic has six inches or less of insulation, adding more can improve comfort and energy savings.
