Installing Icynene spray foam insulation in your attic may qualify for the Home Improvement Tax Credit for Energy Efficiency. That means you can get up to a $1,500 credit+ simply by improving the long-term energy efficiency of your home.
The new Home Improvement Tax Credit offers U.S. homeowners up to a $1,500 credit toward qualifying home improvements – that’s three times the credit offered in 2007! This new credit applies to 30% of the cost of any insulation material that meets 2009 IEEC requirements.
When applied to the roof sheathing and attic walls to create an unvented attic, Icynene spray foam insulation and air barrier effectively minimizes air leakage (and wasteful energy loss), which can save up to 40% on your energy bills every month!
When your home isn’t leaking energy, it takes less effort to cool. This means that you could also reduce the size and cost of your HVAC equipment. Not to mention, Icynene reduces the wear and tear on your equipment so that it may last longer!
Icynene Snapshot
Icynene is 100% water-blown and contains no harmful emissions such as HFCs or PBDEs. As both insulation and air barrier, Icynene effectively minimizes airflow so that, in an unvented attic application, it dramatically reduces attic temperatures and humidity. Not only does this help you save money, but you can also enjoy a more comfortable and durable home.
