Read the passage and choose the correct answer:

Questions below refer to the following advertisement.

 

Insulate your home before the winter hits.

 

Did you know that up to 47% of the heat in your house escapes through the roof and walls? You keep barely half of the heat that you pay for. That adds up to a much higher heating bill than you really ought to be paying.

 

Yet thousands of people keep paying winter after winter, all the while grumbling about the cost. With rising fuel costs, can you afford to be one of those people?

 

Foamsulate is the number one insulating foam used by the construction industry. We have been supplying the industry for over 20 years, and now for the first time, Foamsulate is available to the individual for home use.

 

Foamsulate is easy to install. Just drill a small hole in the walls you wish to insulate and insert the Foamsulate pump nozzle. In 30 minutes you can insulate a whole room with our quick drying, odorless, non-toxic insulating foam. For roofs, Foamsulate comes in easy to lay 10m or 20m rolls.

 

Foamsulate is guaranteed for 10 years. That means ten years of reduced energy costs as you keep in all that precious heat. After 10 years, just repeat the same easy process and you'll be good for another whole decade. Foamsulate is available at all good home supply centers. For a limited period, we are offering a free home improvement tips book with every purchase. Hurry while stocks last.
