Energy Efficiency through Basement Insulation
 A properly insulated basement, according to the Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy Website, from the U.S. Department of Energy can save you a lot of money in energy bills.
Data shows that the annual average savings for a 1,500 square-foot home, with a conditioned basement heated by natural gas ($0.72/therm) can amount to $250 in places like Washington DC for a 10 R-Value, and as much as $400 in a home with the same characteristics in Minneapolis, MN.
In other words, the energy savings alone, will pay for your basement finishing project, overtime. Add to that the ability to use your dry, insulated basement as additional living space and therefore increase the value of your home. Think of the health benefits of having better indoor air quality by getting rid of mold and its airborne spores. You will realize that basement remodeling is one of the best investments you can make.
