[QUOTE="FL-Orange, post: 9744782, member: 65694"] If your attic is vented at the soffits make sure there are guards in place to keep the existing and any new blown-in insulation from blocking the soffit vents. I personally like the sprayed insulation on the bottom of the roof deck, that will drop attic temperatures and then with typical above ceiling insualtion your house will be well insulated. Get multiple quotes with a somewhat detailed explanaition of what's appropriate in [B]your[/B] area. In colder climates insulated (double or triple pane) glass works very well. For heat rejection look at low-E window film or tinting. This site seems to have decent info on tax credits for Colorado: [url=http://www.dsireusa.org/incentives/index.cfm?CurrentPageID=1&State=CO&RE=1&EE=1]DSIRE: Incentives/Policies by State: Colorado: Incentives/Policies for Renewables & Efficiency[/url] [/QUOTE]
