How Spray Foam Insulation Affects Your Home’s and Your Wallet’s Comfort

If you're looking to make your home more energy-efficient and put hard earned cash back into your wallet, one of the best places to start is with your insulation. At Custom Insulation Company Inc., we’ve seen firsthand how upgrading to spray foam insulation can drastically improve home efficiency and reduce your overall carbon footprint. Let’s break down how it works—and why it matters.

What Is a Carbon Footprint?

Your carbon footprint is the total amount of greenhouse gases—mainly carbon dioxide (CO₂)—that your household produces through activities like driving, heating, cooling, and electricity use. A major contributor to that footprint? Energy loss through poor insulation. Where Energy Loss Happens

In most homes, heating and cooling account for nearly half of the energy bill. But what many people don’t realize is how much of that energy is wasted due to:

• Gaps and air leaks in walls, attics, and basements
• Inefficient insulation materials that don’t seal tightly
• Thermal bridging (when heat transfers through building materials like studs)

How Spray Foam Insulation Helps

Spray foam insulation is a high-performance solution that:

• Seals leaks and gaps better than traditional insulation
• Provides a continuous thermal barrier, reducing heat loss in winter and keeping your home cooler in summer
• Improves HVAC efficiency, so your systems run less often and for shorter periods

By requiring less energy to maintain a comfortable temperature, you use less electricity or fuel—which translates directly to fewer emissions.

Long-Term Environmental Benefits

Switching to spray foam insulation can:

• Reduce your annual energy use by up to 40%
• Lower demand on local power grids
• Contribute to lower greenhouse gas emissions year-round
• Extend the life of your HVAC system, reducing waste from replacements

And with the added benefit of durability—spray foam can last 20+ years—you’re making a long-term investment in sustainability.
