I have installed it in my 80 yr old house woorks great. It can be installed from the inside or outside. You can buy outlet insulaters at any lowes. menards or home repair store. It is a thin piece of foam that can be put behind outlet and will help a lot.

The house was insulated that manner when new because i was built to StarEnergy Requiremnts as set out by the US Dept of Energy The blown in actually is much better than batts because it gets in around wires and pipes and leaves no holes to lose heat. You can go to the StarEnergy site on Web and view info on both blown Firberglass and Foam, closed cell. It is a website that doesnt sell, its US govt and there for homeowners to view.
