Insulation is the key to a comfortable, energy efficient home. It stabilizes temperatures so you can use less energy to heat and cool your house, saving you money.
There are several insulation materials available, but spray foam is arguably the most effective. Spray foam insulation expands to fill every gap and crack where it’s applied, creating a highly efficient barrier that air seals and insulates your home at the same time. Total Home Performance recommends spray foam insulation as the best solution for air sealing and insulating crawl spaces and attics.

How Spray Foam Works
Spray foam is applied wet and quickly expands to up to 100 times its original size. This makes it the ultimate sealant for hard-to-reach crevices and cracks in your home and greater assurance that outside pollutants, air, moisture, and pests cannot enter. It easily fills the smallest crannies, including any irregularly shaped areas that would be difficult to insulate otherwise.
Benefits of Spray Foam Insulation
Spray foam insulation is so beneficial because it is both a highly effective insulation material and an air sealant. That means it prevents heat transfer (keeping heat inside during the winter and blocking it out during the summer) and it also stops air from flowing freely into and out of your house. This combination leads to a lot of benefits that improve comfort, save on energy costs, and increase indoor air quality.
- Higher thermal performance - Spray foam has a high R-value and provides more thermal resistance with less material. It will keep your home warm in winter and cool in summer while saving you money on your energy bills.
- Moisture control - Spray foam blocks moisture and humidity, improving your comfort and preventing issues like mold growth.
- Energy efficiency & savings - Spray foam improves energy efficiency throughout your entire home. It can also encapsulate spaces containing ductwork, like your attic, bringing the ducts into a conditioned environment which reduces energy usage and saves you money.
- Pest control - Spray foam closes the gaps that pests use as entry points, preventing an infestation.
- Indoor air quality - Because it seals your house, spray foam helps keep outdoor air pollutants from getting into your home.
