What difference does type of insulation make to me? ALOT of difference in your day-to-day life.
Blow-in insulation: Both cost effective and high performance.
Blow-in settles into all of the nooks and crannies of your attic and controls airflow. Airflow is where you lose heat in the winter and gain heat in the summer.
* You can expect a 10% to 25% reduction in overall monthly energy use. Your HVAC systems will also thank you for a lessened workload and extending their life.
* Blow-in offers a quick return on your investment (https://insulation.promatcher.com/cost/missoula-mt-insulation-costs-prices.aspx)
* Blow-in can be added to exiting insulation if the existing is in sanitary condition.
Batt insulation: Cost effective
Batt insulation gets the job done; however, it does not control the air flow. Those nooks and crannies let in air, but we still recommend for certain homes.
* Batts are a great answer if you want to keep installation costs low and gain more efficiency. 20% cheaper than blow-in and can save you roughly 15% on monthly energy use.
* Batts can be added to existing insulation if the existing is in sanitary condition.
