Q: How much does spray foam insulation cost?

• <div><p>The <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/spray-foam-insulation-cost.htm#benefits-of-spray-foam">cost of installing spray foam insulation</a> is <b>$2,760 </b>on average, but this cost can be as low as <b>$650</b> or as high as <b>$7,700</b>. The main cost factor is the size of the insulated area and the type of spray foam insulation. </p><p>Polyurethane spray foam costs between <b>$0.44 and $1.50</b> <b>per board foot</b>, where a board foot is equal to the volume of a one-foot length of a board. More expensive options, like soybean or vegetable oil spray foam, range from $1.50 to $3.00 per board foot.</p></div>

Q: Do freeze-proof faucets need insulation?

• <div><p>Freeze-proof faucets can still benefit from insulation, and they will need covers if you live somewhere with extremely cold winter temperatures. These faucets work with a design that keeps excess water in the pipes inside the home to minimize the risk of freezing, plus a downward slope for any water flowing through the pipes to keep moving. But keeping a cover on all faucets, even freeze-proof fixtures, is the best way to avoid frozen and burst pipes.</p></div>

Q: Can I throw old insulation out into my trash?

• <div><p>Sometimes you may be able to leave the bags with your regular trash. However, that&rsquo;s not always the case. Call your local waste management prior to starting the removal and ask about the proper ways to recycle or dispose of removed insulation. In many cases, your town or municipality has a designated dumpster for building waste.</p></div>
