Insulation That Saves Money
When your home is spray foam insulation, it provides resistance to heat flow and lowers heating and cooling costs. Insulation also reduces moisture problems that can lead to expensive mold and wood rot repairs. In fact, the EPA estimates that homeowners can save up to 15% on their energy bills by air sealing and adding insulation in attics, basements, and crawl spaces.
Different types of insulation are available to fit the specific needs and budgets of your property. For example, spray foam insulation (available in open- and closed-cell varieties) expands to fill hard-to-reach crevices and helps eliminate the air leaks that drive up utility bills. However, spray foam is more expensive than other forms of insulation.

Other kinds of insulation include blankets, rolled rolls, and boards. The thickness and density of the material determines its R-value, or resistance to thermal flow. Some insulation materials, such as foam board, require professional installation to ensure maximum performance. In general, the thicker and denser the material, the higher its R-value.
Foam insulation is expensive but can be cost-effective in some applications. It offers higher R-values and forms an air barrier to help with other weatherization tasks, such as caulking, applying housewrap and vapor barrier, taping joints, and wrapping pipes and wires.
Loose-fill insulation, which is typically made from cellulose, fiberglass, or mineral (rock or slag) wool, can be installed in enclosed cavities such as walls and attics or in unenclosed areas such as crawl spaces. Loose-fill insulation can be blown in by professionals skilled at achieving the correct density and R-value, or it can be poured in place (e.g., polystyrene beads or vermiculite).
