When spray foam insulation is properly installed in a home or building, it forms airtight barriers that prevent outside heat from entering during the winter and outside cool air from escaping in summer. This significantly reduces energy usage, which can lead to lower energy bills.
It also prevents the heating and cooling system from working as hard to keep a comfortable climate in the home. This means less wear and tear on the heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) systems, which can prolong their lifespans and save money for homeowners in maintenance costs over time.

Lastly, spray foam insulation can prevent moisture from entering places like attics and crawl spaces. This is important because excessive moisture can create mold and weaken structures. It also prevents damp, humid environments from requiring dehumidifiers or air conditioners to work as hard to remove humidity from the indoor air, which can further lower utility bills.
Closed-cell spray foam is a little more expensive than open-cell spray foam, but it’s physically stronger and provides better insulating value per board foot. It also creates an effective vapor barrier that doesn’t require the homeowner to apply one themselves after installation. It’s best to hire a professional installer to handle the installation, as spray foam can off-gas substantial amounts of volatile organic compounds while it’s curing.
