Making sure there is enough insulation in the walls, foundation, and roof -- anywhere there is a barrier between the home and the outside-is one of the most important ways to make a home energy efficient.Unless your home was specially constructed for energy efficiency, you can usually reduce your energy bills by adding more insulation. Many older homes have less insulation than homes built today, but adding insulation to a newer home may also pay for itself within a few years.
