SPRAY FOAM INSULATION
The U.S. Department of Energy estimates that 56% of the energy used in a home goes to heating and cooling making climate control one of the largest expenses of home ownership outside of the mortgage and can dramatically add to any businesses operating expenses. Heating, ventilating and air conditioning (HVAC) system have a big effect on your utility bills and your energy consumption. Spray foam insulation can reduce the workload on your HVAC system therefore making your home or business more energy efficient, which saves you money.
Simply adding insulation will not make a home more energy efficient. Traditional insulation products (fiberglass batt or blown cellulose) do nothing to stop uncontrolled air leakage. And this air leakage has been proven to be the biggest energy vampire in almost any home. The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) reports that up to 40 percent of the energy cost of heating and cooling a building is wasted by uncontrolled air leakage. Air leakage contributes to problems with moisture, mold, thermal comfort, noise, dust, pollution, structural deterioration, and ice damming. Conventional insulation may absorb water and contains gaps. These gaps not only allow air to flow freely in and out of your home but it allows rodents and pests easy access as well.
