Recommended insulation options?

I live in an uninsulated wood house and we're looking for low-impact insulation optionsMy landlord claims that spray-in foam insulation would be basically worthless, but I'm not convincedSurely it will cut down on heating costs somewhat, right?We have drywall, if that helps.

Answer:

The greater heat loss is out the ceiling, so you need at much insulation as possible thereR-49 is the current government recommendationsEither rolled fiberglass, or the blown in cellulose will do the jobDon't forget to lay down a moisture barrier, just a thin roll of plastic sheeting, before insulating, or the fiber will get damp and lose all its insulation propertiesCheck your electrical outlets for cold air coming out of themPlug them with inexpensive plugs available at hardware storesCheck your windows for air leaksA cheap tube of caulk can cure that problemCheck doors for cold air coming in from the sides, top or bottomAgain, inexpensive seals available at large hardware stores are easy to put onSidewalls are the least of your worryHowever, since they are closed, an injected foam is probably the best insulation availableYou might find someone who can blow cellulose, but either way is somewhat expensiveBest to take care of the areas mentioned above firstYou will be surprised at the results these efforts can make.
