Can I afford Icynene?
The Icynene Foam Insulation System initally costs 3-4 times the cost of traditional insulation materials. For the total envelope (walls & roof deck), an Icynene installation typically runs about $4 per square foot of a/c space (living space) of your home. For a 3,000 square foot home, you are looking at about $12,000. Don't be alarmed. If you are financing your new home, you may be adding $50 or so a month for the upgraded insulation, but you will always save more than that on your utility bill and usually it's much more.

Almost 90% of homeowners are demanding energy efficient features.
Icynene® is the most rewarding insulation option because it offers a constant payback for ongoing energy savings. Once installed, Icynene continues to work for you by paying you back on your investment. As a complete insulation and air barrier, Icynene minimizes air leakage in the home, which allows for HVAC equipment rightsizing so you can save on initial equipment costs and ongoing utility costs. This can result in savings of up to 50% every month in energy costs versus conventional insulation.The Appraisal Journal conducted studies that demonstrate the increasing value a home garners by becoming more energy efficient. Including energy efficient upgrades as part of your home improvements can increase the value of your home by approximately $20 for every $1 reduction in annual utility bills.
When considering all other costs associated with creating an airtight thermal envelope, you will see that Icynene is the preferred insulation that guarantees a more energy efficient home.
Weekend Getaway

Weekend Getaway. Using The Icynene Spray Foam Insulation System in any project creats a more comfortable, healthier and quieter living environment. Ulike blown in fiberglass insulation, Icynen foam insulation expands 100:1 in less than 10 seconds. This creates a perfect air seal in every cavity. No more dead spaces behind outlet boxes and pipes. What an easy way to enjoy savings in unexpected ways during construction. |
Right-Sized Air Conditioners
 The ENERGY STAR Program promotes right- sized air conditioners where builders carefully match system capacity to home cooling needs. ENERGY STAR labeled homes often include features such as increased insulation, air sealing, high-performance windows, and improved duct systems that can dramatically reduce cooling loads. As a result, smaller, less costly air conditioners can usually be installed.
The Icynene Thermal Envelope is a design technique that uses Icynene spray-in-place, expanding foam
insulation. Icynene insulation will be applied to all exterior walls and directly to the underside of the roof deck,
creating a completely sealed, unvented, conditioned attic space. This is an extremely effective and energy
efficient design that has successfully been used in thousands of residential and commercial projects all over the
United States.
