Spray Foam Insulation

Insulation is a critical component of every home’s efficiency and comfort. It protects your home from the outside elements and provides many year-round benefits by creating a barrier that prevents heat transfer in and out of your living spaces. 

There are many types of insulation, but spray foam insulation is one of the most advanced options available, offering superior protection for your home. Wise Home Energy is a high-performance insulation contractor serving Monroe County, Genesee County, and the surrounding areas. We install closed-cell spray foam insulation because it offers reliable and long-lasting results. 

How Spray Foam Insulation Works 

Spray foam insulation is created by mixing two liquid components that, when combined, react to create a foam substance. The reaction happens quickly, causing the foam to expand and harden in place, filling even the smallest gaps and cracks. Spray foam is such a highly effective type of insulation because it creates a seamless barrier that not only insulates but also seals your home against air leaks and moisture infiltration. 

Whole-Home Benefits of Spray Foam Insulation 

There are many reasons to choose spray foam insulation for your Greater Rochester home. 

• Superior Performance – Spray foam insulation provides unparalleled performance in both insulating and sealing your home. Its unique properties allow it to expand and fill gaps and cracks, ensuring a comprehensive barrier against heat loss and air infiltration.
• Insulation + Air Sealing – Unlike traditional insulation materials, spray foam combines insulation and air sealing in one product. This dual functionality helps maintain consistent indoor temperatures and reduces drafts, leading to a more comfortable living environment.
• Moisture Resistance – Closed-cell spray foam insulation acts as a barrier against moisture, preventing water from infiltrating your home. This is especially important in the Greater Rochester area, where high humidity and precipitation levels can lead to moisture-related issues, like mold and mildew.
• Enhanced Indoor Air Quality – By sealing your home effectively, spray foam insulation helps keep out pollutants and allergens. This leads to improved indoor air quality, creating a healthier living space for you and your family.
• Significant Energy Savings – Reducing air leaks means your heating and cooling systems don’t have to work as hard to keep your home comfortable. This can lead to savings on your energy bills. In the Greater Rochester area, where winters can be harsh and summers warm, the energy savings from effective insulation can be significant.

Spray Foam Insulation in New York’s Climate 

The climate in Greater Rochester is characterized by cold, snowy winters and warm, humid summers, which means that any insulation solution will need to perform year-round. This is why we exclusively use closed-cell spray foam as opposed to open cell spray foam insulation at Wise Home Energy. Closed-cell spray foam has a higher density compared to open-cell spray foam, providing a stronger air and moisture barrier. This makes it ideal for preventing water intrusion and maintaining structural integrity, which is crucial in our region. Closed-cell spray foam also boasts a higher R-value per inch, offering better thermal resistance and energy efficiency.
