Energy efficiency is beneficial for you as cost and comfort. Owning your home is about you and your family; your needs and preferences. You want to enjoy your home and get the most bang for your buck in doing so. Energy efficient items will help you save in cost, you'll feel the comfort and when you get ready to sell the buyer that purchases your home can appreciate these upgrades.
Whether you've owned your home for awhile or are considering purchasing a home there are readily available items for you to review or inspect and then some not so noticeable items like properly installed insulation that will take some learning and further investigation.
BENEFITS OF PROPERLY INSTALLED INSULATION
• Enhanced Comfort.
Properly installed insulation minimizes temperature variability indoors and helps keep rooms warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer.
• Lower Utility Bills.
As much as half of the energy used in your home goes to heating and cooling. By preventing heat loss in the winter and heat gain in the summer, a properly installed insulation barrier reduces utility bills year round.
• Improved Durability.
When insulation is properly installed, the potential for condensation that can lead to decay of building materials is reduced, helping to improve the durability of your home.
• Better Resale Position.
The improved comfort, lower utility bills, and improved durability of a properly installed insulation barrier can translate into higher resale value compared to less efficient homes.

Brandi,
Is there any way for me to check if the insulation is properl installed or do I need a home inspector?
