Any thoughts would be great.
I have an old 2000 sf homemade cooler. 2x4 walls with 2" rigid ins inbetween and a drop ceiling of glasstec(1/8" layer of hard fiberglass) concrete floor. The whole thing is in bad shape leaking everywhere.
Is it worth installing some insulation in the drop ceiling(maybe 1" fiberglass)
Would I notice a differance this summer? Might cost about $1,000 (us) My electric bill more then triples in the summer.
In other words where should I try and install insulation?
My cooling guy says insulate around the base of the walls cause thats where all the cold air is.
My thinking is try and go for a sealed up room.
Please help.
