A company for installing house insulation?
Anon emails:
I'm looking for a competent, reasonably-priced spray foam insulation contractor for my home. I need to have old cellulose insulation removed from parts of my basement, and spray foam installed throughout the basement. Thank you
Based on what we've seen on, um, HGTV and a little bit of what we've read, spray foam insulation is said to do the job very well, better than other types of insulation. It also looks like it's a whole process, with installers wearing ventilated suits and whatnot.
Got a suggestion for Anon? Please share!

Your best option is to go through the state's Home Performance with ENERGY STAR Program. This program offers attractive finance options for whole-house energy improvements, especially for insulation. You also get 10% cash back. For more information, visit http://stars.nyserdagreenny.org/started
When you use a participating Home Performance contractor, you will be able to access the incentives and financing available through the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA). You can also call 1-877-NY-SMART to get started.

If you want to think outside the box, try Aloha Energy in Saratoga. They insulate with a bio-renewable soy foam. Costs are comparable to traditional methods. They insulated our garage a few years ago and we're happy with the result.

I second the recommendation to work through the nyserda program. Good guidance, money back and I even got a free follow up inspection from nyserda on the work my contractor did.
