How Much Does Spray Foam Insulation Cost in Nova Scotia? (2026 Homeowner Guide)
Spray foam insulation in Nova Scotia typically costs between $2.50 and $6.50 per square foot, depending on foam type, thickness, and access difficulty. A full-home spray foam upgrade usually ranges from $4,000 to $12,000+, with federal and provincial rebates available to significantly reduce final costs. Spray foam delivers the highest long-term energy savings of any insulation type.
Why Spray Foam Costs More (And Why It Pays Off)
Spray foam is not just insulation — it is air sealing, vapor control, and thermal insulation in one system.
Nova Scotia homes lose up to 40% of heating energy through air leakage alone, especially older coastal homes. Spray foam stops:
• Air leaks
• Moisture infiltration
• Mold formation
• Ice damming
• Drafts and cold floors
Quinn Energy installs high-density closed-cell spray foam designed for Atlantic Canada humidity and freeze cycles.
