GO GREEN WITH SPRAY FOAM!!

Think Green!

  • The average North American home gives off approximately 10 tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions per year – because of the way we heat and cool our homes.
  • 17% of energy used in Canada is used to operate our homes.

Why Insulate?

  • Increasing your home’s insulation can decrease this energy usage. 
  • Insulation and air sealing can effectively reduce a home’s greenhouse gas emissions and thereby reduce your ecological footprint. For example, a home with natural gas heating and an average monthly gas bill of $115 could reduce green house gas emissions by as much as 4000 lbs.
  • If your home was built before 1985, upgrading your insulation can reduce your energy usage by up to 35%. Moreover, if your home was built prior to 1960, upgrading your homes insulation can decrease its energy usage by over 40%.
  • By deciding on the right insulation, the use of gases and VOCs  that contribute to climate change or ozone depletion can be minimized.
