Q: What type of insulation do I need?
A: The type of insulation you need actually depends on where it needs to be installed, what R-values are required, and your budget. The U.S. Department of Energy recommends different R-values for different zones.
Q: What is loose-fill fiberglass?
A: Loose-fill fiberglass insulation is usually blown into unfinished attics, nonconforming spaces and hard-to-reach areas, as this effectively fills all the hard to reach area of the framing bay. Loose-fill, also known as blown-in insulation, provides better performance than batts because it is much less likely to leave any gaps.
Q: What is an R-value?
A: “R” stands for resistance to heat flow. The higher the R-value, 
the greater the insulating power and in turn, your energy savings. As mentioned previously, determining the R-value for your residence depends greatly on where it will be installed, and your budget.
Q: Are there rebates or other incentives available for insulation projects?
A: Yes! Government agencies, utilities, and others offer a variety of tax credits and other incentives to support energy-saving upgrades.
Q: Can insulation help increase my home’s property value?
A: Yes! Adding insulation to your attic could generate 
a 107.7% return on investment if you ever decided to sell your home. This project may also reduce your heating and cooling costs by up to 30 percent and make you eligible for a federal tax credit.
Q: How can we find an insulation contractor?
A: The best course of action is to contact Connecticut Retrofit. When you call we will schedule you for a home consultation to perform an energy consultation and help you investigate and receive any applicable insulation rebates.
