Spray Foam of Maine

There have been many studies done by both Industry and Independant entities
researching the viability ofClosed-Cell Foam versus conventional insulation
types.

The results have been very definitive indicating increased costs savings over
time, with an increased return on investment on both short term and long term
basis.

The following Case Studies are only a small sample of information that has
been gathered supporting the financial feasibility of using the Closed-Cell
Foam product:

Location: Sacramento California
2400 sq ft homes
Based on Gas and electric consumption
Traditionally Insulated homes compared to Close-cell insulation homes
Results:
Average Yearly costs Traditional Closed Cell
Total Energy Costs $2,716 $1,107
Average monthly costs $247 $128
Savings over a 30 year mortgage $42,645
The monthly savings of $118 at 6% interest costs could pay for an additional $19,758 in mortgage

The Mainer’s Point of view:
Inversely, savings on energy bills can be applied to your mortgage reducing the overall interest
paid over the life of the loan leading to fewer overall payments and shortening the actual term of
the loan.
