Our electric company blew us for free.We've got blown in in our attic, does that count?
If you buy enough bags at Home Depot you get the blower machine for a free rental to install it.
We've thought about adding more, because why not.

Is there a wifi, Google Home connectable light switch that does dimming out there? I don't want to buy a bunch of Phillips bulbs that I will have to replace years down the road.
any idea how much ya paid for how much square footage and to what r value? Im getting stuff priced
And yes, i realize i could do it myself for cheaper. But its not cheaper if i never get it done, which is whats gonna happen.
A wifi switch you'll replace down the road with zwave or zigbee. So start there instead.Is there a wifi, Google Home connectable light switch that does dimming out there? I don't want to buy a bunch of Phillips bulbs that I will have to replace years down the road.

Closed cell has to be thrown away if you need to remove it for some reason. Other blow in's can be reclaimed - so start there insteadJust do closed cell and be done with it.

@APRIL's parents have it. Shit is weird. Their attic, which obviously has no HVAC is just a few degrees warmer than the rest of the house in the summer.closed cell meaning spray foam? YEah, that would definitely be the best for r value, but 4x cost.
Missed my point friend. fly had suggested it. I am suggesting AGAINST, 'cause yeah, it is destroyed if you have to remove it and costs so much up front. And type of insulation probably doesn't have much curb appeal when one is selling -buyers just want to know there is something there or will they need to do some insulating. Blow-in doesn't hold moisture against the inner surface of the boards like closed-cell. And closed cell against the inside of roof also cooks the shingles to death since any cooler air passing through the attic is insulted away from the roof. Explaining the cool attic in April's parent's house. Kind of like insulating a basement on the inside - the house is warmer but the foundation goes through more freezing damage. Pick your poison.closed cell meaning spray foam? YEah, that would definitely be the best for r value, but 4x cost.
the one place i think it would be really beneficial for me to have sprayed would be all the rim joists. Theyre basically logs and any other type of foam (batts, rigid) etc is gonna have all kindsa non-contact issues and gaps.@APRIL's parents have it. Shit is weird.

How cold are your floors near the walls?
cold. In at least a couple of the rooms its absolutely the biggest air sealing problem area.
