Start to finish very user friendly:

As one who is only "half-handy", this book explains very clearly the how-to of insulating one's home.
Although it speaks to those who are insulating while building, the rules apply to a previously built home as well. The book is a worthy addition to your handy skills library.

Great 101 on insulation:

Book number 1 in my library on insulation. If I only had one book that covered a lot of information in a concise manner this would be the one.

important information clearly presented:

I'm a general contractor doing energy efficient remodeling. I found this Taunton publication really valuable because it covers not only the basic techniques on insulation, including pricing guidelines, but also has an excellent of heating systems including PV and solar. Given the cost of energy today, this book helped me make good suggestions to my clients. The technology is changing rapidly, though, and the information here will have relatively short shelf-life.

The most complete guide to insulating your house:

This book was exactly what i was looking for! It tells you how to properly insulate and seal an existing house. Great illustrations, clear and easy to read. I read the whole thing the day i got it!
I found major air leaks right where it predicted and sealed them using methods suggested.
A MUST HAVE BOOK FOR ANYONE LOOKING TO IMPROVE THEIR HOME'S INSULATION.
