Company touts spray foam for energy efficiency

Energy efficiency measures are being touted by the government and businesses alike for their cost-cutting benefits, and recently one company that specializes in insulation said that spray foam insulation can help to cut costs and improve efficiency - when applied correctly.

Spray Foam Energy Solutions, which has specially trained crews who apply spray foam insulation to both commercial and residential properties, affirmed that the product can be used to improve energy efficiency and can potentially help to cut heating and cooling costs. Spray foam insulation can also be used to prevent water damage resulting from storms and flooding, analysts assert.

Moreover, compared to traditional insulation products spray foam insulation can reduce electricity costs in many instances. Still, public health and industry experts affirm that spray foam insulation must be applied by crews who are extensively trained as it can have some deleterious consequences if it is applied haphazardly.

Nonetheless, spray foam insulation can help home and business owners alike to prevent mold from forming, and in can also increase the value of a building in some cases. Spray Foam Energy Solutions, which operates mostly in California and Nevada, has also used the product in conjunction with solar panels and other clean energy systems, the company said.
