Insulation is key to a comfortable and energy-efficient home, but there are several different types of insulation to choose from. One premium product that many homeowners choose is spray foam insulation. This insulation can be sprayed in walls, attics, crawl spaces, and other areas of the house to create an air seal which helps regulate temperature and saves on energy bills.
It’s important to hire a professional to install spray foam in your home. The process requires specialized equipment called a rig. This rig includes a mixing unit and a hose that can spray the insulation into place. Professionals also have experience with achieving consistent coverage and precise expansion of the foam. If a homeowner attempts to perform the project themselves, they could expose themselves to toxic fumes. These fumes are known as isocyanates and can irritate the eyes, gastrointestinal tract, and respiratory system. Repeated exposure can even lead to chemical bronchitis.

Depending on the type of spray foam used, it can cost anywhere from $1 to $2 per square foot. Closed-cell polyurethane foam is the most expensive, while open-cell is slightly cheaper. The cost is also impacted by climate zones and project details. For example, choosing a nontoxic soy-based closed-cell polyurethane foam with low global warming potential (GWP) blowing agents could reduce the cost by up to 10 percent.
