We all know the importance of a properly insulated home, but ensuring that you get great insulation service at a ideal price in the Frankfort area can seem like a difficult balance to achieve. There are a number of different factors that will affect the cost of insulation installments. Things like the size of your property, the size of the insulated area, accessibility, thickness of the insulation, and the company you buy the insulation from can all affect the overall price that you pay for repairs.
With so many different elements to consider, keeping the retrofit within your budget can seem like a daunting task. Insulating your house, however, shouldn’t end up costing you in the long run.
If you pick the correct contractor, there will be a lot more savings than costs. The type of insulation with the most prominent long-term benefits is spray foam.
Why Spray Foam?
Spray foam is one of the most popular type of insulation because it is the only insulation capable of solving one of the most prolific forms of residential heat loss. 40% of heat lost in all homes is lost through tiny leaks spread throughout your house. These holes can be smaller than a millimeter wide, but can still do major damage not only to the level of comfort in your home, but also to your heating bill. Upper level spaces like attics are notorious for such leakage points and can affect the efficiency of your insulating system as a whole.
Spray foam is one of the only insulations that is capable of blocking all these holes. Other types of insulations are not equipped to combat this type of problem in the same way. They may shield against larger drafts, but they are powerless to stop these tiny leaks. During application, spray foam expands to over 100 times its original size, making it the perfect tool to seal all leakage points wherever they are located.
Long-Term Benefits
For many of our Illinois customers, spray foam insulation has both reduced heat loss and saved money. While spray foam may be initially more expensive than fiberglass, there are many studies that show it to be much more cost-effective in the long run. Not only does spray foam insulate against leaks that other insulation cannot, but it’s estimated that people who use spray foam save around 50% on their monthly bills.
Whether you’re insulating an old home, retrofitting, or insulating a new building, spray foam can be the perfect solution to provide both comfort and efficiency. Contact us today to learn more or to schedule a free spray foam quote!
