Your Energy Bill and Your Attic - How they Correlate
If you live in Kansas City, you probably are aware of the fluctuating temperatures, hot summers, and frigid winters. It can be difficult trying to keep your home cool during hot summer months. As a result, you may notice a spike in your cooling bill. If you are looking for solutions to save money and preserve energy, attic insulation is the key. Insulation is not a DIY project and should be installed by a professional. At KC Spray Foam our team of experts are highly trained and certified to identify the source of your air leaks and provide the best insulation for your home. We are based in Kansas City and provide insulation services for the surrounding areas.
Since 40% of air leaks occur in the attic, make sure you seal all air leaks. Water is insulation's culprit which causes mold and mildew growth, structural damage, wasted energy, and threatens the air quality of your home. Check for common holes in the ceiling that occur in the following:
- Fans
- Light fixtures
- Vents
- Wiring
- Pull-down steps
- Duct work

- Flexibility - Can be applied to new construction areas, agricultural buildings, remodels, and more.
- Less expensive - Cheaper than closed spray foam.
- Better coverage - It expands and fills large areas.
- Versatile - Can be applied to ceilings, attics, walls, basements, and much more.
- Light Weight - Traps air inside the foam material by creating an airtight seal to block air drafts.
- Suitable for indoor use

- Water resistant - Works as an air sealant and vapor barrier
- Hard and strong - Higher R-value 6 per inch
