Lower Energy Costs
& Faster Payback of Insulation Costs
Obviously, insulating your basement is a wise
investment, especially when 40% of your whole house heat loss
can occur through an uninsulated concrete basement wall.
How long does it take for the energy savings to pay for
the extra cost of insulating a basement?
Studies
by the University of Minnesota show that the energy savings of a wood
foundation provide an 80% faster payback of insulation costs!
In
fact, even without insulation, a wood foundation will provide energy
savings!
