Whether you live in Bangor, Maine, or Bakersfield, California, your home will be more comfortable and energy efficient if you make informed decisions about insulation and other products related to heating and cooling of your home. Insulation helps reduce the costs of heating and cooling your home. The proper heating and cooling systems can provide comfort and energy savings at the same time. Finally, good maintenance and other measures can also help to ensure that you get the most out of your energy dollar.

To help you with your insulation purchases, the Federal Trade Commission has insulation labeling requirements that must be followed by industry members. In addition, the Commission offers useful information to answer consumers questions about home energy issues.
