The EPA estimates (for all insulation) that homeowners who air seal and insulate their homes could save as much as 20% of heating and cooling costs (or up to 10% of your total energy costs). (Source: Energy Star)
SPF is not as susceptible to heat transfer as most other insulation material, with R-values usually between 3.5 - 6.5 per inch of thickness. R-value is used to rate a material's ability to resist heat transfer. The greater the R-value, the more efficient the insulation.
Spray Foam Insulation reduces humid air infiltration which helps prevent moisture from entering your home. This extra moisture barrier helps keep load off of your heating and cooling systems as well as helping your home to feel more comfortable.
Due to the increased efficiency of your home after installing SPF, you may qualify for tax credits equal to 30% of your purchase up to $1500 per year.
Local utilities will often offer rebates for efficiency upgrades to your home. You should check with your provider to verify eligibility.
