When spray foam insulation isn’t installed properly, a home can lose up to 15% more energy than necessary. This puts strain on heating and cooling systems and leads to higher utility bills. Proper insulation and air sealing reduces wasted energy, keeping your home a comfortable and affordable place to live.
The type of insulation you choose depends on the specific needs of your home and region. Fiberglass, cellulose, and foam are common insulation materials. Each offers different benefits depending on its R-Value, which measures how well the material resists heat flow. Rigid foam boards, for example, are easy to handle and can be cut to fit specific areas. They also provide high R-Values for optimum energy efficiency.
Keep Warm Air Trapped Where It Belongs
Insulating walls without tearing down the existing structure can be done using various methods. For instance, blown-in cellulose can offer outstanding insulation in existing homes. It can be added over fiberglass batts or other forms of insulation to increase R-Value. The process is quick and causes minimal disruption to living space, making it a great solution for older homes.
Insulation can also be injected into attics and crawl spaces. This can reduce the need for excessive heating or cooling in these unused areas of the house, which can save money and extend the life of the HVAC system. It also prevents moisture and mold growth in these hard-to-reach places. Unlike fiberglass, foam insulation provides an air seal and doesn’t promote the growth of mold or mildew.
