How Spray Foam Insulation Is Better for You and the Environment

Most home owners are not surprised by the idea that installing good insulation can save them a substantial amount of money on their home energy costs. They may, however, be surprised to learn all of the benefits that spray foam insulation offers.

Spray foam is by far the most efficient and environmentally sound method of insulating your home. It is also a most cost effective means of making your home comfortable year round. Not only does spray foam make good financial sense, paying for itself over the long run, but it increases the value of your home as well.

Here are just a few of the ways in which spray foam insulation is better for you and for the environment.

Protects and Strengthens Your Home

Spray foam insulation adds to your home's support structure. By insulating the interior of walls, floors, ceilings throughout your home you add permanent strength to the building's basic skeleton.

Spray foam is either sprayed or injected into spaces in a liquid form, and that liquid becomes a thick foam upon contact with air. That foam then goes through a curing process as it dries, hardening into a board-like consistency which essentially functions as additional support for the framework of the house, making it less likely that you will experience structural damages as a result of inclement weather conditions and harsh temperature changes.

Improves Internal Air Quality and Condition

Spray foam insulation helps prevent dust and pollen from entering your home. It also blocks moisture and condensation from leaking into and becoming trapped inside your walls, floors and ceilings.

By creating a sealed home perimeter, you lessen the presence of common allergens in your home air supply. By cutting down on moisture in the infrastructure of the home, you decrease the chances of mold and mildew occurring.

The decreased in dust, pollen, mold and mildew allows your HVAC system air filters and other filtration devices to stay cleaner longer, cutting down on the frequency with which many home owners need to change out filters. If you're currently switching out your filter more than once every month or two then improper insulation of your home may be at least partially to blame.

The less that moisture and condensation builds up in your home, the less your HVAC system has to compensate. With decreased humidity levels in the summer you will see a lighter work load for your air conditioning system. With less opportunity for moisture to build up in the winter you will experience fewer problems with musty smelling in-home air and lessen your chances of dealing with mold or mildew issues as well.

Promotes Energy Efficiency in your HVAC System

With a better sealed and insulated home you decrease the need for your HVAC system. As much as 70% of your home's energy loss can be the result of poor insulation. Spray foam insulation allows your HVAC system to heat and cool your home more efficiently. After installing spray foam insulation you will see a significant drop in your electric bill and/or gas bill as the energy required for maintaining a comfortable internal temperature will be decreased.

Spray foam insulation additionally lessens wear and tear on the HVAC system itself. When you insulate with high quality spray foam, you do not lose heated or cooled air to leakage or have outside air and moisture infiltrate your walls, floors and ceilings, so your home heating and cooling system does not have to run as often or for as long to regulate the internal temperature of your home. Not only does this save you money but it makes your home more green.

In addition, because spray foam insulation creates a more efficient and temperature-stable environment, you might be able to install a smaller and more energy efficient central air system, heat pump or furnace and still achieve the home atmosphere and air quality you desire.

Saves You Money

Although installation of new insulation in your home can seem a daunting task, spray foam insulation is easy to install and will pay for itself over time. You will receive tax benefits for insulating your home and will see long term cost savings as a result of deceased energy expenditures. In fact, many home owners are amazed by their energy bill reduction following the installation of spray foam insulation.

Inefficiencies arise from a number of factors, including the lack of international openness, cultural barriers to consumption, regulations, and cartel-like behavior on the part of firms. In general, however, latent demand is typically larger than actual sales in a country market.
