Retrofit with spray foam. Retrofitting with spray foam insulation is a process of upgrading an existing home or building with spray foam insulation. It involves the application of spray foam to various areas of the structure, such as attics, walls, crawl spaces, and basements, to improve energy efficiency and overall comfort.

Key Benfits:

1. Spray foam insulated attics are sealed, preventing heat loss in winter and heat gain in summer.

2. Spray foam seals and insulates ducts, minimizing energy loss and enhancing HVAC system efficiency.

3. In walls, spray foam creates a continuous thermal barrier, so you can enjoy more consistent temperatures in living spaces by keeping conditioned air inside and unconditioned air outside.

4. Spray foam insulation can save up to 50% on monthly heating and cooling expenses by reducing HVAC system usage. A home with spray foam is usually able to downsize its HVAC unit. When it comes time to replace the HVAC unit, it won’t be as expensive as it would be with alternative insulating materials.

5. Spray foam installed is a garage helps regulate home temprature, specially if the garrage is connected to the house.

Here are some of the key areas in your home that can benefit from retrofitting with spray foam insulation:

Attics: Adding spray foam insulation to the attic can help maintain a consistent temperature in your home, reduce energy loss, and prevent ice dams in colder climates.

 

Walls: Existing walls can be retrofitted with spray foam by creating small openings or removing sections of drywall to access wall cavities. This enhances energy efficiency and comfort.

 

Crawl Spaces: Retrofitting crawl spaces with spray foam helps control moisture, prevent pests, and insulate the area, improving the overall indoor environment.

 

Basements: Insulating basement walls can help control moisture and create a more comfortable living space. It can also prevent cold air from infiltrating your home through the foundation.

 

Rim Joists: The area where the foundation meets the framing of the house, known as the rim joist, can be a significant source of air leakage. Retrofitting with spray foam effectively seals this area, improving energy efficiency.

 

Windows and Doors: While not technically insulation, retrofitting windows and doors with improved, energy-efficient models can enhance your home's insulation and reduce drafts.

 

Roofs: In some cases, a home's roof can be retrofitted with spray foam insulation from the underside of the roof deck to improve energy efficiency and prevent ice dams.

 

Garages: If you have living spaces above or adjacent to a garage, retrofitting the garage walls and ceiling with spray foam can help maintain a comfortable temperature in these areas.

 

Ductwork: If your home has ductwork in unconditioned spaces like attics or crawl spaces, sealing and insulating the ducts with spray foam can improve HVAC efficiency.
