You should do a little more research. Heat pumps are not that efficient in colder climates and may not provide adequate heat. Some Geo-Thermal installs may work however. BG in NJ

What value does 10 insulation give?

If you are referring to the R value of insulation, then 10 would be the 'thermal resistance' value of the insulation. A value of 10 is about what 3 1/2 inches of fiberglass batt insulation would give you. That is what you might put within your exterior walls if you are using wood studs. The higher the R value the better insulation you will have. When you add up all of the R values of the materials that make up your exterior wall you will get your total value. Depending on where your building is located, and the climate in that area, you will need to adjust your insulation accordingly.

Fan-fold rigid insulation is available in 1/4" thickness that unfolds to cover the exterior sheathing before siding installation. The insulation can be applied with galvanized roofing nails or plastic cap nails which should penetrate into the wood framing of the walls. Tape any joints in the fan-fold insulation with foamboard tape before siding is installed.
