A-1 Insulation Explains Spray Foam Insulation
Spray foam insulation is an energy-efficient solution to help lower heating and cooling costs. A-1 Insulation also prevents moisture from penetrating walls and causing damage. This is why spray foam is a popular choice for basements and crawl spaces. Additionally, it can improve indoor air quality and reduce humidity levels, which can lead to mold growth and poor indoor comfort.
Spray Foam Is Best Installed By A Professional
Unlike fiberglass insulation, spray foam is applied as a liquid that expands to fill nooks and crannies of the building. When installed correctly, closed-cell spray foam provides a formidable barrier against moisture. This is particularly important in damp environments, such as basements and crawl spaces, where water vapor can cause structural damage and promote mold growth. It also protects against damage to electrical components and other equipment.
How A-1 Insulation Ensures Quality and Efficiency
Open-cell spray foam provides adequate moisture resistance, but is not as effective as closed-cell insulation. Additionally, it can lose its insulating properties when wet.
Homeowners can receive rebates for installing spray foam insulation in their homes from both Efficiency Vermont and the federal government. Rebates can offset the cost of spray foam installation, making it an affordable option for many homeowners.
A-1 Insulation offers a variety of services to improve energy efficiency in existing buildings. Duct blast testing, blower door testing and energy audits can identify areas where improvements are needed to save on heating and cooling expenses. In addition, new construction insulation ensures that homes are insulated properly from the start, leading to more efficient energy usage and a comfortable living environment.
