How Long Until Spray Foam Insulation Pays for Itself?

One of the main costs associated with spray foam insulation is the removal and proper disposal of old insulation. In attics, loose-fill fiberglass insulation is typically vacuumed out but must be removed entirely before the new spray foam insulation can be applied. This is an intensive process which takes several house to complete. It also requires a separate truck and trailer rig to haul away the material for proper disposal. We wish you never had to touch old insulation, but it is an industry best practice to remove it. That being said… let’s talk numbers!

It takes approximately 5 years for the average home owner to see a “dollar for dollar” savings return from reduction in energy bills. If you’re going to move homes in the next two years, you should consider having your home insulated with spray foam. At three years you’ll have brought in some money from a reduction in savings and will break-even. In a normal housing market, your spray foam insulated home will sell a little faster and for a little bit more than a home in your neighborhood that has standard fiberglass insulation throughout the walls and attic.

Payment options include paying for the service outright (i.e. cash, personal loan, etc.) or rolling it into your mortgage. When rolling the service payment into your mortgage, the average increase is around $50, but the average utility savings month over moth is around $150! This gives you an immediate net ROI and positive cash flow in your pocket starting immediately.
