Does Foam Insulation Really Cost More?
An effective, continuous air barrier system assists in controlling air movement into and out of your home. The heating and air conditioning systems work more efficiently. You save money!
The United States Department of Energy estimates “uncontrolled” air leakage can account for 30% or more of a home’s heating and cooling costs, and contribute to problems with moisture.
Air can go straight through glass fiber and cellulose, but it can’t go through COMFORT FOAM® closed-cell technology. It is more than just insulation – it also provides an air barrier to properly seal your home.
Megan Luckan from Superior Insulation says “Closed cell foam gives high R value and air sealing and is the best bang for the buck, when it comes to thermally insulating your home”.
When considering building to a green standard (Energy Star, Build Green Utah, LEED for Homes), check the additional points gained with your choice of insulation. More important, check available rebates from Questar & Rocky Mountain Power and State or Federal tax credits that may apply. Enjoy greater comfort and lower utility costs for years to come!
At the end of the day, choosing Closed-Cell Foam is an easy decision.

Now is the Time to Go Solar
Take advantage of the new renewable energy rebate for home & business owners while it lasts!
The Utah State Energy Program will be offering a new rebate for home and business owners that install solar energy. That means if you install solar energy on your home or business you could get a check in the mail for thousands of dollars back! This is a brand new program intended to stimulate economic growth and create jobs, but it won’t last forever and everyone will have questions about how it works. To help answer those questions and provide the info you need to take advantage of the new rebate while it is available, the Utah Solar Energy Association is hosting the Utah Renewable Energy Conference 2010 that will provide a physical location where you can come and learn about the new rebate and how much money it can save you. This event will be held on Saturday, March 27th from 10:00 am to 4:00 pm and it will be located at the Salt Lake Community College Miller Campus off I-15 at 9750 South in Sandy. Admission is $5 for an individual or $10 for a family, and your conference admission will get you $100 off a solar energy system from any of the solar installers participating in the conference!
