Why NOW is the Best Time to
Lower Your Utility Bills with Foam Insulation
This economy has everyone looking to save money. One of the easiest ways to cut your monthly costs is with foam insulation. Foam can help reduce heating and cooling costs by up to 50%, saving you money every month and keeping your home comfortable year round.
Your attic is probably the single greatest source of heat loss (or heat gain) in your home. It’s like going outside in the winter without a hat. You can be wearing five layers of clothing, but without a hat you still feel cold. Your home works the same way. By properly insulation your attic, you can significantly reduce heat loss and gain, thus reducing the need to control the temperature in your home with HVAC.
At the end of the day, the more your HVAC runs, the higher your utility bills will be. Most homes in Atlanta have an HVAC unit in their attic. Even if they have traditional fiberglass insulation on the floor of their attic, it doesn’t protect the HVAC unit from heat during the summer and cold during the winter. Just as important, Fiberglass Insulation slows the transfer of heat, so even with fiberglass insulation, you will have heat loss and gain in your home.
Foam insulation provides an innovative solution that maximizes energy efficiency, making your home comfortable year round and significantly reducing the loan on your HVAC. It works because it’s applied to the under-decking of your roof, so it protects the HVAC as well as your home. And foam is a significantly better insulator than anything else. A 3 ½” application of open cell foam blocks 92% of radiant heat and completely seals your attic from air infiltration. You do have to be careful to make sure that the company that installs the foam maintains ventilation between the foam and the roof’s under-decking. Otherwise, your roof warranty may be voided. Energy Defenders is one of the companies that uses an innovative technique to apply foam insulation while maintaining roof ventilation.
Foam insulation is probably one of the best investments you can make in your home. And the savings are permanent. Most homeowners are already paying for new insulation in terms of the high utility bills they get every month. With foam, what you save each month helps cover the cost.
