Bill, I picked up the 12" insulation at my local mega-hardware store. I still have a roll and a half of it :-) If you can't find it, then you might want to try buying your air duct insulation online. It's cheap, you have lots of options and it's light enough to be shipped without too much trouble. Good luck!

My filters cost me nearly $20 a piece and the manufacturer suggests changing them every six months. I usually end up changing them three or four times a year as I see a need.

You’d be shocked at how often you’ll find loose ducts with small gaps and tiny air leaks around older duct work. You might also consider insulating your home’s air ducts which will not only help with heating, but also on cooling. [...]
