Spray foam insulation is an excellent choice for attics in particular because of its great air sealing qualities. Most often we apply foam to the underside of the roof deck to create a closed-attic assembly but sometimes spraying down to the ceiling below is an option.
The location of the thermal boundary is key to making this decision. This is the area of your home that you want to keep warm in the winter and where your heating system resides. Bringing ductwork and furnaces into the conditioned space within your thermal boundary is usually recommended for energy savings and care of the equipment.
If you have some questions about your home's energy efficiency contact us and we can assist with insulation choice and thermal boundary locations. Don't put it off any longer. Every day wasted is a day wasting more money on lost heat.
We look forward to serving you next!

Here's a nice graphic to help understand what is going on with ice dams. ❄ When conditions are right - a good amount of SNOW, temps below FREEZING for awhile, and a a HEAT LOSS problem - you can make a SERIOUS ice dam.
The heat loss issue could be deficient insulation levels, patchy insulation with high and low spots, 'holes' in the ceiling from chase ways for pipes, vents, or electrical, skylights, bath vents, and more... We can help diagnose and correct these issues to minimize the heat loss so your roof will keep that snow from melting so quickly from underneath.
Contact us for a FREE thermal scan with estimate to help spot issues and create your game plan to make your attic more energy efficient.

We haven't had a whole lot of snow yet this winter to show where attics are insulation deficient. But it's still early and Lake Erie is not frozen yet so we should get those opportunities soon. Snow melting from roof areas will find its way down to the roof edge called the eave, filling gutters and creating icicles. If snow and temperature conditions continue the ice will grow and eventually create an ice dam. Ice dams can cause all sorts of damage with water getting under shingles and eventually leaking inside your home.
If you see areas of melt on your roof contact us and let us help check it out. There may be some things that can be done to reduce the heat loss and prevent the 'big ice' that can become bigger problems. We've got a number of solutions to help most every home.
