Where Texas homes lose energy
In North Texas, cooling is usually the biggest energy cost. Hot attic air, ducts running through that attic, and air leaks around top plates, can lights and penetrations all make the AC work harder.
What spray foam changes
Spray foam insulates and air-seals at the same time. When it's applied to the roof deck, ductwork ends up inside a much cooler space. The U.S. Department of Energy notes that air sealing and insulation are among the most cost-effective ways to improve a home's efficiency.
How much will you save?
Savings depend on the home's age, current insulation, HVAC, ductwork and your habits, so no honest installer can promise a number without seeing the house. Ask for an assessment and compare your bills from before and after.
Rebates and incentives
Federal tax credits and utility programs for insulation and air sealing change over time. Check energystar.gov and your electric provider for current offers before you start a project.
