Most homeowners who use spray foam insulation realize between 30 and 50% savings on their monthly heating and cooling costs. Spray foam insulation is one of the best investments you can make as a homeowner to lower your heating costs, increase your home comfort and do your reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
