How much will insulation cost?
The total ceiling insulation cost for the average home is estimated to be $1200. Of course this price depends on the size of the home, the required R-value of the insulation and the type of insulation chosen.
With the help of the Government's ceiling insulation rebate of up to $1600, most people will receive free ceiling insulation, saving them between $200-700 per year on heating and cooling costs.
