[QUOTE="farmer17, post: 3231482, member: 8389"] I have owned my own construction business for 25 years and have always used blown in insulation in the walls and ceilings. I looked at like the foam was about 20% better but about 80% more expensive and would rather spend the savings on nicer windows and a Super Caulk Package. Disadvantages of the foam are if you ever need to ad and outlet or IT wire in the walls you are screwed and foaming the under side of the deck makes it really difficult if there is a leak and you need to replace decking. My house is 3200 sf with high ceilings and big windows and we are on a well and aerobic system and have landscape lighting on the front and both sides and my electric bills are about 90 bucks a month except July and August may get up to $200 and I'm satisfied with that.
