Before considering insulation improvements, first find and plug air leaks—holes, cracks, and gaps that let cold air in and warm air out in the winter—and do the reverse in the summer.

All structural elements around your home’s living spaces should be insulated. It’s most practical to insulate many of these areas as part of a renovation. Otherwise, accessibility drives costs and determines what’s worth doing.
