Energy Efficient Spray Foam InsulationEnergy Efficient Spray Foam Insulation

Compared to other types of home insulation, spray foam offers the most impressive energy efficiency. The airtight seal it creates allows your heating and cooling systems to keep conditioned air inside your house, so they don’t have to work as hard to keep the house warm in winter and cool in summer. This reduces their operational costs, which results in lower utility bills.

It also helps to improve indoor air quality. Spray foam insulation prevents airborne contaminants, such as dust, pollen, and random debris from making their way into the home. This keeps HVAC air filters from becoming clogged, which makes it more difficult for them to perform their job.

The Benefits of Spray Foam Insulation for Energy Efficiency

When choosing between DIY and professional spray foam installation, it’s important to consider your own skill set, time, and budget. There are spray foam DIY kits available for those who are confident in their ability to install the product correctly, but this option can be challenging without proper training and the right equipment. A professional can guarantee consistent coverage and proper expansion, which is essential to the success of any insulation project.

Advanced Seal Spray Foam Insulation is generally more expensive than open-cell foam, and it provides a better insulator per board foot than batts. However, it does not create an effective vapor barrier on its own, so homeowners should add one themselves after the foam dries. Homeowners should also note that the blowing agents used in some spray foam products have a high global warming potential (GWP). While this is an issue, there are now many insulation options that use low GWP blowing agents.
