Can SPF really save 50% or more on heating and cooling?
The vast majority of homes today have traditional fiberglass insulation because it is considered cheap to purchase and quick to install. Sadly installers may often skimp on proper installation. They may pack it in holes and spaces, cut out around plumbing and electrical and leave major gaps during installation. The actual performance of traditionally used insulation is dramatically reduced because of poor installation. The resulting gaps, voids, compressed areas and improper fit within the installed spaces, result in huge energy losses. It is estimated that as little as 3% of missed insulation area can equal a 50% reduction in the insulations effective R-value. Usually installers do not care that a stiff energy bill will soon show up after they leave. Spray Foam is the very best insulation available today at any price. It not only insulates well, it stops air infiltration, has a low moisture permeability, stops condensation, does not support convection heat loss, and completely pays fo
