Hidden Sources of Energy Loss in Central Virginia Homes
Contrary to popular belief, windows and doors are often not the main source of energy loss in a home. While they do contribute, the primary culprits are usually hidden from view and include:
- Attic Air Leaks – Air leakage is common in attics because they’re vulnerable to both heat loss in the winter and heat gain in the summer.
- Inadequate Insulation – Insufficient insulation allows heat to transfer easily between the inside and outside of your home, leading to high energy bills year-round.
- Drafty Crawl Spaces – Unconditioned crawl spaces can significantly impact your home’s overall efficiency and often harbor moisture or other indoor air quality issues.
- Ductwork Issues – Leaky ducts can compound these problems, with a substantial amount of heated or cooled air potentially lost through leaky ducts.
Spray Foam Insulation: Improving Whole-Home Performance
Spray foam insulation is the ideal solution for solving energy loss problems in a home. As one of the most effective types of insulation available, spray foam insulation offers a comprehensive approach to whole-home performance:
- High R-value – Spray foam provides superior insulation with its high R-value per inch, ensuring optimal thermal resistance.
- Air, Vapor, and Radiant Barrier – Creates a seamless barrier against air infiltration, moisture, and radiant heat transfer.
- Healthy Indoor Air – By sealing gaps and cracks, spray foam reduces the entry of allergens, pollutants, and moisture that can lead to mold growth.
