Solar Energy USA is proud to offer the most technologically advanced method of insulation available with Spray Foam Insulation, the best way to achieve high-impact energy bill reduction. Reduce your power bills 30% or more using this highly innovative method of home insulation. The cost of heating and cooling a home is one of the largest expenses a homeowner incurs, accounting for over 50% of residential energy usage according to the U.S. Department of Energy. A major reduction in HVAC costs is one of the most significant ways to recognize real, achievable energy savings.
The principal behind saving money with Spray Foam Insulation is to encapsulate the entire roof deck and remove all old blown insulation, leaving the attic floor bare. The foam insulation being applied to the roof acts as a thermal block, dissipating heat before it reaches the attic space and keeping the ambient temperature within approximately 10 degrees of the living area below. The foam itself is in an open-cell structure which forces moisture to subside and not be captured, preventing mold and mildew issues from developing. All soffit openings, gable openings, and roof vents are sealed off and the roof deck then becomes completely encapsulated. The attic floor is left without any insulation so that there is some degree of air exchange occurring between the attic and living space. A typical Spray Foam Insulation application is between three and five inches thick.
The spray foam expands to fill every void and eliminate all air infiltration, the main source of home temperature loss. Steady temperatures in the attic space, as a result of the spray foam, allow HVAC units to operate more efficiently since temperature differences between living and attic spaces are much closer to each one another. HVAC units will now operate for shorter time periods each day since overall home energy loss of is reduced or eliminated. The result is a substantial decrease in energy consumption and power bills, 30% conservatively, while some customers are seeing upwards of 40% decrease in power bills.
Once the Spray Foam Insulation is applied there is an instant noticeable temperature adjustment among the entire home. A home on a concrete slab only requires application to the attic, while a home with a crawl space may require an additional application, using closed-cell foam insulation, which will build a moisture barrier to the underside of the floor.
Before any insulation is applied, an energy audit will help identify the areas of energy loss that plague a house and increase power bills. Fiberglass insulation should be removed due to inefficiency and because it prohibits air flowing from ceiling to attic.
Home efficiency improvements are advancing and Spray Foam Insulation is the latest innovation among home construction and retrofits. While it may seem counterintuitive to remove blown insulation and coat a roof with new Spray Foam Insulation, the truth is that this method has been proven to be the most efficient at reducing energy consumption and preventing energy loss in the typical home.
Our Spray Foam Insulation application provides a homeowner with a realistic and recognizable way to decrease a power bill. Upon installation, the homeowner will notice that temperature inside the home is much easier to maintain, and the HVAC system operates less hours each day.
