Feel Your Spray Foam Stick It to the Heat This Summer

Let’s face it—Alabama summers don’t play around. The heat is thicc, the humidity has main character energy, and your poor AC unit is basically sprinting a marathon while guzzling electricity like it’s sweet tea.

But what if we told you that your home could beat the heat without you lifting a finger? Brace yourself—there’s a way to cool down your home without cranking your air conditioner to arctic tundra levels. Say hello to your new best friend this summer in your Energy Smart home: Spray Foam Insulation. Yes, foam. The magical, sticky stuff that makes your home cooler, stronger, and way more energy efficient.

If you don’t have an Energy Smart home, you’re missing out—and this article will cover why.

What’s So Hot About Spray Foam (Besides Literally Everything Around It)?

It’s the King of Air Leak Blocking

You could line your walls with a mountain of fluffy pink fiberglass, but if your house is still leaking air like a screen door on a submarine, you’re throwing money (and cool air) right out the window.

Spray foam doesn’t just insulate—it seals. It creeps into every crack, cranny, and awkward corner like it’s auditioning for a spy movie. Once it expands and hardens, it forms an airtight barrier.

Moisture? Mold? Not in This House

Summer in Alabama = moisture in the air and possibly in your walls. But spray foam acts like a bouncer at your favorite bar that says, “Not today, humidity.”

No more surprise mold colonies, and no more mystery moisture creeping in from the attic. You’ll sleep better (and breathe easier).

Your AC Will Finally Get a Break (and So Will Your Wallet)

Because spray foam seals your home so tightly, your air conditioning unit doesn’t have to fight the good fight all day long. Your house stays cooler longer with less effort.

Translation: lower electric bills and a happier HVAC system that doesn’t threaten retirement every August.

It Makes Your House Stronger

Fun fact: spray foam doesn’t just insulate—it actually helps reinforce your walls and roof. It adds rigidity and structure that can stand up to all kinds of weather, including the charming summer storms Alabama likes to throw our way.

Think of it as protein powder for your house.

Breathe Easier (Literally)

Spray foam also blocks airborne particles from getting into your home. That means less pollen, less dust, and less of whatever mystery particles Alabama’s breeze likes to carry.

So go ahead, deep breath in—and no sneezes out.
