What should the contractor provide?
Oklahoma residential energy code requires the installer to certify the thickness and installed R-value of sprayed polyurethane foam. Ask the pro for that certification in writing. Also ask for proof of licence and insurance before work starts.
What R-value should a Tulsa pole barn roof or ceiling meet?
Oklahoma code lists ceiling insulation targets of R-38 in one climate zone and R-49 in another. Tulsa falls in the R-38 to R-49 range depending on the code zone used. Have the pro specify the target in your quote.
Can I get a rebate for spray foam?
Check utility rebate and incentive pages from local energy-efficiency programs first. ENERGY STAR's rebates and incentives page is another place to look for insulation offers.
How does attic insulation affect cooling costs?
An un-insulated attic can reach 150 to 160 degrees on summer afternoons. Proper insulation at roughly R-38 to R-60 is described as reducing cooling energy use by 10% to 20%.
