Spray Foam Insulation

That's exactly right. It's generally a 40-60% energy savings and can cost 3:1 what traditional fiberglass insulation costs. However when putting spray foam insulation into a new structure you can also generally save as much as 50% on your Heating and Air system since you don't need as much due to the envelope being sealed better. It is also cleaner and healthier! Cleaner because there is a lot less dust, etc and healthier because you and your family aren't breathing in fiberglass which is not good for you!

I can actually get you a two year guarantee on your utility bill with an exclusive system we have. The pay back is usually 1-3 years dependinig on certain things. I have a friend and mentor who is building a 12,000 square foot house in the Country Club of Louisiana who sprayed $50,000 worth of foam, but who will be cash flow positive day one because of how much he's saving on his heating and air system and the fact that his utility bill will be $450 instead of almost $1,000/month.

I also went into an attic in Lakeview in New Orleans where we sprayed our foam and it was the middle of July when attics are generally as hot as 120-140 degrees depending on the orientation of the house and the attic in this house was 77 degrees. When you spray it can generally be as little as 7-10 degrees above the temperature in the house.

Would love to help you if you're interested.

I need to look into your comments about the value being in the attic in the south and not really in the walls. Where did you read or see this, I'd love a source to go to.

I took a Residential Energy Design course last summer. The thought being that, in the South, the difference in temperature outside to inside isn't that big on average, therefore you won't have much heat transfer through the walls...basic insulation is plenty. The main sources of heat gain in the home are the attic and solar gain through the windows.

Another issue they discussed related to foam, is since the house is sealed much better than normal, the owner needs to install an air exchanger to make sure there is enough fresh air flowing through the home.

I built a house in SWLA last year & used foam insulation. My attic is never more than 3 degrees warmer than the rest of the house. My electric bill is never high. I think foam is worth the money.
