The heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system is one of the largest contributors to household energy consumption. The constant transfer of heat between the indoor and outdoor environment can be balanced with spray foam insulation, allowing the HVAC to run less while still maintaining a stable temperature in the house.
It’s also possible to cut down on the use of space heaters, ceiling fans, box fans and other climate-controlling devices. This saves a lot of money on electricity bills and creates a more sustainable living environment for you and your family.

In addition, spray foam insulation prevents the nooks and crannies that can cause air leakage which is a major contributing factor to high utility costs. It provides a sealed thermal envelope, lowering energy costs by about 50% right away.
Unlike fiberglass or cellulose insulation, spray foam doesn’t lose its shape over time and is more durable. It can be applied to new construction and existing homes, including attics, crawl spaces, and rim joists. It can even be sprayed into an existing chimney, as it is moisture-resistant and won’t encourage mildew or mold.
It’s recommended that home occupants stay out of the house during spraying and curing, as the product off-gasses large amounts of volatile organic compounds (VOCs). While DIY kits are available for people who want to install the insulation themselves, it’s best to let professional technicians handle this job. They have the knowledge, tools and equipment necessary to ensure consistent expansion and application of the insulation.
