Watson insulation doesn't need a thermometer to tell its winter. This insulation and electric company is being inundated with calls from homeowners sick of the high electricity bill.

"No one thinks about insulation until its too hot or too cold."  Said Watson Electric and Insulation's Colby Pack.

But your bill doesn't need to cause such frustration..

"Forty percent of that is wasted due to infiltration and lack of insulation."  Said Colby Pack.

A simple visit to your hardware store can solve some of the problem

"With a tube of caulk and 10 minutes you can save a lot of money. Windows are a major loss in any you know heating, cooling." Said Colby Pack.

And don't forgot about your attic, re-insulation has a new standard that could save you a lot of energy. And with its new and better quality, re-insulation can now be a one time project.

"I mean you pretty much pay for it in one year." Said Colby Pack.

To encourage energy saving insulation, some energy companies will help pay for re insulation of your attic.
