[quote=Anonymous]Our 2 story house was built in 1929. Before we moved in, our contractor opened up the walls of the main level, since we had to gut-renovate it anyway, and put in quality insulation. The upstairs level wasn't touched at all. My husband insulated most of the attic himself. Thanks to these improvements, despite the fact the bedroom level doesn't have insulation, we were able to sustain 66F on Saturday evening during the extreme cold, and 64F in the bedrooms at bedtime, with 60F in the bedrooms on Sunday morning). Perhaps we could have increased the temperature, but our furnace is old and I didn't want to push it. Since it's difficult to open the walls once you live in the house, I would advise you to put the best R-coefficient batting insulation in your attic. Not the blown-in stuff, because in older homes, it tends to get humid and degrade quickly. [/quote]
