In Boston, insulation is crucial due to harsh winters and historic homes. Proper insulation can reduce energy bills by up to 40%. Costs for insulation vary: attic insulation typically ranges from $3.20 to $4.50 per sq ft, while wall insulation can cost $3.85 to $5.00 per sq ft. These investments enhance comfort and property value.
