[QUOTE="rawhide, post: 3230060, member: 3448"] I hope to draw from the vast experience of OSAers. We're planning to build a new house and we want the best insulation we can afford. I've talked to a few builders, HVAC guys,1 former insulation installer and searched the internet. I am getting conflicting information. I'm leaning toward foam insulation and heat pump but added cost will be around $5500. Net & blow and heat pump around $3200 with most of the cost in the heat pump. I've been told that blown fiberglass is best but don't have a $ amount for that yet. My wife is afraid the foam will result in too much moisture and the problems that come with it. And how long will it take to recover the additional cost? The "former" net/blow installer told me to expect to have more insulation blown a few years down the road due to settling in the walls. What's the best new home insulation for central Oklahoma? [/QUOTE]
