Insulate your walls. Pad your wallet up to $300.

Lower your energy bills and qualify for additional incentives when you add injected foam wall insulation to your home.

Why should I consider wall insulation?

  • Homes older than 15 years are less likely to have proper wall insulation.
  • The concrete blocks used to build many Florida homes are porous and not very energy efficient, allowing unwanted air and moisture into your home.
Injected insulation is easy, safe and very cost-effective.
Through small holes (less than one-inch in diameter) in the exterior of your home, foam insulation is injected into the empty spaces in the concrete block structure. The holes are then patched and can be covered with a little stucco and touch-up paint.
  • The foam is nontoxic, non-allergenic, odor-free — and it helps keep out bugs.
  • The insulation eliminates energy loss from outside air intruding into your home, so you can save on energy costs year-round.
  • The insulation also provides an effective sound barrier.
  • You may be able to reduce the size and cost of a new HVAC system, thanks to the increased efficiency of your home.
  • When you install a new heating and air system, it's strongly recommended to upgrade your insulation at the same time — and maximize your energy-efficiency advantages.

Adding injected wall foam insulation when you have your new heating and air system installed is a great way to maximize the efficiency of your home and further reduce energy costs.

Federal tax credits available! Through 2010, there is a 30 percent federal tax credit up to a $1,500 maximum issued for the installation of attic insulation. Click here to verify the requirements.
