Energy efficiency is all the rage, Ohio business' want to have less overhead and Akron homeowners are looking for ways to pinch pennies and stretch their money further. One effective method of saving energy is to upgrade your home or business insulation with spray foam insulation. Its a wonderful solution that solves many problems! It is ideal for keeping air temperature stable, regardless of the weather. Keep reading to learn about four reasons to upgrade to spray foam insulation in Akron, OH.
Its a better performing insulation
Spray foam insulation has superb insulation capabilities, at a whopping 5.5 average R-value per inch of closed cell foam (some brands boast 6.5!) and 3.5 per inch of open cell foam (open cell expands to about 3 inches after application). All spray foams create an air tight seal because they are applied continuously and expand to fill any and all gaps. Closed cell spray foam additionally will block water and vapors, its great when used in basements and outward facing walls for this reason!
Decreased gas/electricity usage
How does a reduction on energy bills sound? Too good to be true? Not with spray foam insulation! One of the most beneficial effects of having spray foam insulation installed is that
it will reduce your overall energy use. When the heater doesn't have to work as hard to keep up with inclement weather, it costs less. Its that simple! Spray foam insulation does such as good job of stabilizing the temperature that it'll save money and begin paying for itself immediately.
Improve the quality of the air you breathe
We mentioned the air tight seal that spray foam insulation creates, this has a two fold effect. Because it stops outside air from entering the home, everyone inside will breathe easier. Less allergens, pollen, and irritants entering the home means less stuffy noses and Kleenex. Those with asthma and other lung conditions will have an easier time breathing in a home that has spray foam insulation installed.
Lastly, Spray foam insulation increases property value
Forward-thinking individuals know that increasing their Ohio property value pays off in the long run.

Not only will your Akron family enjoy the savings while they occupy the dwelling, they get that cost back and more after moving! Having spray foam insulation installed by a professional like Akron Home Insulators will increase your property value, more than the cost of spray foam.
