insulating & powering business

The Gulf Coast energy grid remains fragile. Entergy Louisiana and Mississippi are aggressively investing in grid upgrades, the costs of which are being passed to commercial ratepayers. Commercial entities are increasingly facing "Demand Charges"—fees based on peak usage intervals—which can constitute up to 50% of a monthly utility bill.

Grocery & Convenience Stores

Extremely high refrigeration costs (often 50%+ of energy load). Our insulation division focuses on "Walk-in Cooler Insulation" to prevent thermal bridging, while our solar division focuses on "Peak Load Shaving" since refrigeration works hardest when the sun is hottest.

Property Management

Tenant retention, Net Operating Income (NOI), Common Area Maintenance (CAM) costs. Our products & services act as "CAM Reducers", lowering utility costs increase the net attractiveness of the lease.

Data Centers & Industrial

Data Center construction in the Gulf South Region is exploding. The need for well insulated structures can be a critical factor in energy savings for these operators through spray foam insulation and a solar component for energy storage.

Automotive Dealerships

Massive lighting costs for lots; high cooling costs for glass-walled showrooms. Our insulation services can reduce power consumption and coupled with roof-top solar, can collect energy utilizing solar battery storage.

Schools & Municipalities

Budget deficits; aging infrastructure; public pressure for sustainability. We work with our clients on "Bond-Neutral Upgrades." Using financing or PPAs to pay for the system out of energy savings, requiring no new tax levies.

Commercial Business Owners

If you own/operate your own business in a business owned property, Thermo-Guard can show you ways to get more money back from your energy bill each month through proper insulation and solar.

SPRAY FOAM INSULATION

Why choose Spray Foam Insulation?


1. Spray polyurethane foam (SPF) is a state-of-the-art insulation that forms a continuous energy and air sealing barrier on walls, roofs, around corners, and other surfaces.


2. SPF is the best product available for insulation, as it seals holes, cracks, and penetrations against airflow, while

protecting the building’s INTERIOR with a high R-value blanket of insulation.

  • According to the Department of Energy, as much as 40% of a building’s energy is lost due to air infiltration.
  • Spray foam tackles both air infiltration and energy transfer in one simple application.

3. Creates a better Indoor environment.

  • SPF provides no organic food source for mold or mildew.
  • Limits airflow, thus removing moisture, an essential source for mold growth.
  • Contains no glass fibers which can irritate the respiratory tract.

4. The Investment Advantage.

  • The cost of SPF is not money spent, it is money invested.
  • The SPF investor can expect a return on investment for the life of the home.
