R13 wall insulation has a lower thermal resistance compared to R19, making R19 more effective in reducing heat transfer and improving energy efficiency in a building. This difference is particularly important in colder climates where higher insulation values are beneficial for maintaining indoor temperatures. R19 is typically recommended for exterior walls in areas with extreme temperature variations, while R13 might be suitable for interior walls or less extreme conditions. Ultimately, the choice between R13 and R19 depends on local climate, building codes, and energy efficiency goals.

The more the merrier. R19 at least but add a roof ridge vent if you dont have one. That is cheap - 2-3 hundred.

Looking for floor insulation for a good price?
If there is a ceiling below the floor then you can insulate the ceiling and that will insulate the floor using traditional insulation.

There are other forms that you can use but this is the least expensive.
What size heat pump should you have installed in a new home in Eastern Nebraska with approximately 4200 square feet black shingle roof R38 ceiling and R19 exterior wall insulation?
