Home Maintenance & Repairs: I am considering adding spray insulation in my attic. Does anyone have any real energy savings that they can share?

    science.com and look under retro-fit, high energy homes. This is an independent source, not in the foam industry and once you study this website, you will be convinced that foam insulation can outperform all other insulations, hands down. Additionally, if you need any other non-biased information, we have a library of information provided by Honeywell, General Electric and many other prominent companies that do not sell foam that will give you additional information regarding foam. If you want to go to a fun source about how foam performs, go to historychannel.com, look under myth busters, and look under energy efficient refrigerators. You will enjoy this. They have come to the conclusion that the number one reason refrigerators are only costing $60 a year to run, is one quarter inch of foam insulation. It's always fun to watch them cut things in half to show you how things work. Enjoy the video. If you would like any additional information, feel free to contact Doug at 352-874-6540 or via e-mail at doug.thermasealcf.@gmail.com.

Home Maintenance & Repairs: I am considering re-siding my home.

I know there is siding with insulation now. What kind is best and does this really work?

    Bev, The most effective foam insulation per dollar is injected foam insulation. Foam ...»
    insulation that comes with siding, although better than nothing, will typically give you one quarter the R value of injected foam. Additionally, injected foam assists in air-sealing the home, is tested for termite and mold resistance and can be injected in both wood and block walls. You can save yourself a lot of money by having the foam installed before the siding as there would be no patching or finishing work, saving you about 30%. If you would like additional information, feel free to contact Doug at 352-874-6540, or via e-mail at doug.thermasealcf.@gmail.com, or visit us at the Orlando Home Show coming up next weekend.

Home Maintenance & Repairs: How often should insulation in an attic be replaced?

    Kerry, the answer to your question is every 6 years for cellulose, every 10 years for ...»
    fiberglass, or you can install foam insulation on the underside of the roofdeck, one time, and never replace it again. Adding additional blown insulation or fiberglass will have a limited affect on your utility bill because, although it will do a marginal job of protecting your home from the heat in the attic, it does nothing to protect the duct work in the attic which can be exposed to up 200 degrees in the summertime. Foam insulation on the underside of the roofdeck will drop that temperature in the attic down to between 75 and 85 degrees. The advantage to that is a drastic drop in your utility bill over the life of the home versus a small reduction in your utility bill with blown in or fiberglass that needs to be replaced every 6 to 10 years. According to most cellulose packages, they recommend removing old insulation before installing new insulation . Cellulose over time loses its fire retardant features and becomes a fire hazard. Many companies that install blown in insulation in most cases will not remove the old, worn out, flammable insulation. They will just blow new insulation over the top of old insulation, trapping altered, pollutants, animal feces, you name it under your new insulation. If you want to research foam, go to building science.com and look under retro-fit, high energy homes. This is an independent source, not in the foam industry and once you study this website, you will be convinced that foam insulation can outperform all other insulations, hands down. Foam works year round, doesn't deteriorate, never needs replacing, improves indoor air quality, is pest resistant, and depending upon what foam you choose, can even protect your home from hurricanes.
