What our customer's say!

"The most complete guide to insulating your house", This book was exactly what i was looking for! It tells you how to properly insulate and seal an existing house. Great illustrations, clear and easy to read. I read the whole thing the day i got it!

I found major air leaks right where it predicted and sealed them using methods suggested.

A MUST HAVE BOOK FOR ANYONE LOOKING TO IMPROVE THEIR HOME'S INSULATION.


"Good coverage", This book gives credible (not just a repeat of info on manufacturer websites) coverage of insulation, air leakage, ventilation, moisture problems, etc. and handles each subject with respect to different climates. I learned a lot and it helped me make decisions in the renovation of a 60 year old house.

"great series", same great features of other books in the series (pro tips, what can go wrong...). these books are thorough and informative.

"Insulate and Weatherize: Expert Advice from Start to Finish", This is the best book and only book you will need on insulating and weatherizing your house. We have gained much insight and valuable information to make our house more energy effcient. The author will also (for a fee) come to your house and evaluate and recommend what you need to do. We cannot say enough about this book.

"Must Have for Every Home Owner", I think of all the poor suckers who pay $50,000 for new windows when they could accomplish more energy savings quicker, easier, and for only a couple hundred bucks even if they hire out the work using the suggestions of this book. Everthing you think you know about saving home energy is wrong! Read this book instead! Incredibly detailed and photographed. If you can't do it yourself then hire it out -- but DO IT!

"Learned Some Things", I live in a condo so not every part of this book was applicable. But I learned some very interesting things that were useful and essential when I was replacing my windows and wanted to re-insulate the window bays. For what I needed and learned, it was worth every penny.

"Insulation explained", I ordered this manual with the idea of planning to add additional insulation in my attic as well as trying to seal the "leaks" of cold air in winter. This book was a wonderful choice as it is easy to understand, offers suggestions about types of insulation and relates the pros and cons of each type. Taking that a step further, there are tables that show the amount of insulation needed by types of insulation and location. This is a wonderful buy! Thanks.

"Packed with good advice", This is a fantastic book on the subject. Not only does it cover insulating, it covers furnaces, hot water and a host of other topics to save you a few bucks. I would have given a 5 if it the sections on basement insulating were more robust. Really, it is a 4.5 stars. I would highly recommend this book.

"Wonderful book if hiring contractor or DIY", My mother has an old house and is preparing to have new duct work installed because of collapse of in-floor ducts. As in many old houses, she also has drafts and other concerns on how to improve energy consumption and decrease wasted energy.

This book helps with all these concerns. I am a big fan of the Taunton Build Like a Pro series, even though I am not a pro. I think it helps to know what the pros SHOULD be doing. When hiring a contractor I think it is important to educate yourself so you know what questions to ask. Many times, a contractors response to questions can help indicate if they are knowledgeable or someone you may want to avoid.

The section on furnaces and windows made this book worth the cost. I have not read all the chapters yet, but plan to as the entire house is being updated. I really like the Pro Tips, Trade Secrets and the What Can Go Wrong sidebars. The photographs are great and include good descriptions. The book is easy to read, even if you are not a pro.

"Buy this book if you are insulating yourself or hiring a contractor.", I bought this book when oil prices spiked and I finally got motivated to upgrade the desperately inadequate insulation in my attic. Without the wealth of information gained from it, I would have wasted most of my time and money.

Much better than a simple step-by-step checklist, and not just a reprint of previously published material, it gives you an understanding of the tools, materials, and the procedures required to customize a project plan for your home and budget.

I found it also gives you enough information to let you decide what you can tackle yourself, and what you prefer to leave to a contractor. Some items, like the critically important sealing of air leaks, are high on time effort, but low on material cost - a perfect formula for a do-it-yourselfer.

Led by the information in this book, I was overjoyed to be able to seal about 30 square feet of air gaps in my attic, which were sucking conditioned air right through the house.

If you are considering upgrading your insulation yourself, or you want to know what to look for in a contractor's work or what to specify to a contractor, this book is for you. Like I've come to expect from any Taunton publication, the layout, organization, and information is first rate.
