Sounds like a good plan, I was curious, in the south an erv is kind of a double edged sword,
The hot humid fresh air makes the hvac system work harder.
I have heard a lot of positive feedback about installing reflectix on the bottom of rafters, really cuts down the radiant heat load in the attic.
Plus if a leak is suspected sections are easily removed for inspection.
I'm interested in this reflectix. May be something I need to install.
Foam will help you a lot more in attic than walls.... Walls are a minimum gain. Especially if your ductwork is in attics. We do 20-30 new houses a year and have tracked every form of insulation you can use. If you can squeeze the open cell in the attic in your budget you will not regret it.
Our lake house is 3200 sq ft with open cell everywhere. We average 150 power bill year round. That's using 13 seer heat pumps with variable speed air handlers. And 30 a month is the underwater light. You do the math, open cell works.
