Here in the NW prices range from $99 to $399…Yes, the low prices are subsidized by grants and utility companies, but all the same, good groups, not fly by night operators!

I think its more of what you don’t see mentality…a new kitchen counter, or air sealing? I haven’t seen much on the way of IAQ – Indoor air Quality! Any feedback?

But this is just one aspect. An insulated house offers a way better living quality, which is a good that can´t be measured in terms of money however are most essential.
