I've heard some cautionary stuff about the under-house spray foam

Any time you use spray foam you take the risk of being unable to easily remedy or, most importantly, identify problems such as termites, water rot and mold. Doing a spray on an older house is almost certainly going to create other issues, because you would be spraying over gas and water pipes.

good to know, thanks

the floors are original cypress which hold up well to termites.

fwiw, we have two ac units for upstairs and down and our energy bill runs around $250/mt in summer months. We were gone most of the colder days in December so I'll find out how much my bill will be at the end of this month. Lesson learned, old houses are charming as F but expect shite ton issues if you renovate one.
