			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div><span>If the &#8220;Green&#8221; movement and news about global warming aren&#8217;t enough to make you start thinking about your home&#8217;s footprint, rising energy costs have made it impossible </span><em>not </em><span>to evaluate the energy-efficiency of your home. How energy (in)efficient is it, anyway? Almost any <a href="http://www.energysavers.gov/pdfs/energy_savers.pdf" target="_blank">guide to residential energy savings</a> will have &#8220;air loss&#8221; and &#8220;correct insulation levels&#8221; towards the top of the list.  An average residential home loses hundreds of dollars per year if it isn&#8217;t properly insulated and/or existing air leaks aren&#8217;t taken care of.  Here are some easy solutions to eliminate air loss in your home.  Each step will end up paying for itself in energy savings within 3 &#8211; 5 years.<span id="more-467"></span><br />
</span><br />
<strong>Insulation</strong><span>.  A well-insulated home is the first step in maintaining constant interior air temperature. Most energy loss is due to insufficient insulation. A well-insulated home maintains a more equitable temperature, which translates to a drastic reduction in the amount of time your HVAC system runs year round. Gone are the days of installing individual sheets of irritating fiberglass insulation.  </span><a href="http://www.sprayfoamnow.com/spray-foam-benefits/" target="_blank">Spray foam insulation</a><span> is a healthy alternative. It&#8217;s simple to have installed and can easily be added under your existing roofdeck and interior wall spaces.  Using spray foam insulation under your roof can decrease your attic space temperature by approximately 60 degrees F. in the summertime!</span><span><strong>Seal all leaks</strong>. Drafty houses are impossible to keep warm in winter and challenging to keep cool in summer.  When you think about decreasing air loss in your home, you might automatically think about caulking joints and cracks in the infrastructure of your home, or the spaces around windows. What you might not realize is that fiberglass insulation allows air to flow through it, rather than forming a solid barrier.  In addition to increasing air loss, it allows condensation to form and potential mold/mildew issues to develop, as the warm and cool air mingle between the exterior and interior of your home. Alternatively, spray foam forms an air barrier.</span></p>
<p><strong>Have your home inspected by a professional</strong>.  It is worth it to have a reputable professional assess your home to determine what areas are contributing to air loss.. They can provide suggestions as to how you can improve the energy efficiency of your home.</p>
<p>Contact <a href="http://www.sprayfoamnow.com.php5-21.websitetestlink.com/" target="_blank">Coastal Insulation &amp; Interiors</a>.  Our trained professionals are happy to match excellent customer service with top of the line products to keep your home comfortable and energy-efficient..</p>

<p>There are few things that are more comforting and desirable during the cold winter months than knowing you have a toasty, warm house to come home to. And staying warm indoors is not just a concern for homeowners: companies must also keep their work environment comfortable and warm during this time of year. Unfortunately, the cost to keep your home or business cozy and warm can be quite daunting and prohibitive. What many people don&#8217;t know is just how much of the heat in their home or business flies right back outside due to poor insulation and insufficient winterizing. Cranking up your thermostat, as we all know, also cranks up your heating costs and, if not enough attention has been paid to the quality of insulation, then you may just as well be throwing your gas or electricity heating payments out the window.</p>
<p>Fortunately, <span style="color: #0000ff;"><a title="Coastal Insulation" href="http://www.sprayfoamnow.com/"><span style="color: #0000ff;">Coastal Insulation and Interiors</span></a></span> has the perfect solution to winterize your home or business:<span style="color: #0000ff;"> <a title="spray foam insulation" href="http://www.sprayfoamnow.com/spray-foam-benefits/"><span style="color: #0000ff;">spray foam insulation</span></a></span>. This high quality, open-cell, expandable spray foam cloaks the walls in an effective and protective coating that far surpasses traditional fiberglass insulation. Unlike fiberglass insulation, spray foam will not shrink or settle over time, making it a very worthwhile investment. Highly effective insulation means reduced heating costs, lowered environmental impact and increased comfort.</p>
<p>The advantages of installing spray foam insulation in your home or business are numerous. Aside from the improved cost and comfort, it is also eco-conscious. Spray foam insulation contains no asbestos or formaldehyde, chemicals which are not only dangerous to one&#8217;s health but also deplete the ozone layer. Because of this, spray foam insulation does not emit any toxic substances. In addition, the insulation is also highly effective at preventing insect penetration and dramatically improving air moisture problems indoors. This will then improve the maintenance and operating costs of your existing HVAC system. Spray foam insulation works equally well with wood or steel, making it an ideal winterizing solution for virtually any home or business space.</p>
<p>Whether you are a home owner looking to winterize your home effectively and improve your home&#8217;s warmth and comfort while reducing energy costs, or a contractor looking for a high quality, environmentally conscious insulation option, look to spray foam insulation for your ideal solution. Visit the<span style="color: #0000ff;"><a title="Coastal Insulation" href="http://www.sprayfoamnow.com/"><span style="color: #0000ff;"> Coastal Insulation and Interiors</span></a></span> website for more information. Your home &#8211; and wallet &#8211; will thank you.</p>

<p align="">In these tight economic times, with energy costs rising, you may have wondered how you can insulate your home or business to save money on energy bills.   Here are the top <strong>five benefits of spray foam insulation</strong>:<span id="more-447"></span></p>
<p>1.  <strong>Lower Energy Bills and Less Drain on Environment</strong>: Using spray foam to insulate can give you significant savings on your energy bills because spray foam completely seals your indoor spaces.  No other insulation can do this. The cost savings can be so significant that most homes and businesses find that their costs to insulate are paid back in 3-5 years through lower energy costs.  By using spray foam to insulate, you are making an environmentally responsible choice, and also saving money.</p>
<p>2.  <strong>Better Indoor Air Quality:</strong> Because spray foam allows the indoor environment to be completely sealed from the outside air, spray foam provides the best possible indoor comfort, while preventing potential condensation inside walls which can create mold, mildew and other allergens inside a home.</p>
<p>3.  <strong>Reduced Noise</strong>: Spray foam has better acoustical reduction qualities than fiberglass.  This insulation reduces outside noise because of the dense physical properties of foam which reduce the transmission of sound through the roof and walls.</p>
<p>4.  <strong>More Comfortable Indoor Temperatures</strong>:  Combining superior insulation with a properly-sized HVAC system can help even older homes have comfortable temperatures throughout.  Especially if your home or office building has trouble with some rooms being too hot while others are too cool, you will find spray foam insulation will be helpful in creating a more comfortable indoor environment.</p>
<p>5.  <strong>Spray Foam Provides Superior Insulation</strong>: Unlike fiberglass or blown-in insulation, spray foam insulation can go anywhere air moves.  Moreover, it can be sprayed in hard-to-reach areas.  Because it expands, it can easily seal surfaces in a way no other insulation can do, which makes it possible for attics and walls to be completely sealed against outside air. In addition, spray foam is strong and adds structural integrity to a building.  Since it never shrinks or settles, spray foam insulation is permanent.  You will never have to worry about it again.</p>
<p>Spray foam insulation is the most technologically up-to-date method of insulating buildings. If you want to go green, reduce energy consumption, and lower your costs, consider installing spray foam in your home or business.</p>
