Home insulation can outperform traditional fiberglass batt and cellulose insulation when properly installed (which only professional insulation crews can do). It offers the highest R-value per inch, meaning more potential energy savings. It also provides a tighter air seal than other types of insulation. As a result, it reduces your HVAC costs year-round by lowering heating and cooling bills.

In addition to the energy efficiency benefits, spray foam insulation can help improve your indoor air quality. It prevents moisture infiltration, which can wreak havoc on your home’s structure and cause problems with indoor allergies and asthma. It also prevents toxins and pollutants from getting trapped in your house, which can negatively affect your health.

Choosing the Right Spray Foam Insulation Contractor: What to Look For

The good news is that spray foam insulation can be installed in walls without tearing them out. The process is similar to installing drywall. The walls are drilled with 1/4 holes and tubes are passed through the holes to fill them with spray foam. This is a very fast and affordable method for insulating walls.

If you’re considering installing spray foam insulation, be sure to use a trusted and accredited installer. It’s advisable to vacate the home during installation because the insulation will off-gas volatile organic compounds for some time afterward.

Additionally, it’s best to opt for spray foam that uses low GWP blowing agents. The GWP of carbon dioxide is one, while the hydrofluorocarbons used to inflate spray foam have a GWP of 3,400, meaning they are 3,400 times more potent at speeding up climate change than CO2. This is why we recommend choosing a closed-cell insulation with a lower GWP.
