Beat the 2026 Energy Rate Hikes: Why March is the Time for Summer Prep

We’ve all seen the news: energy delivery rates in New York are projected to climb again as we head into the summer of 2026. While your furnace might be getting a break this month, your AC is just around the corner. If you want to avoid those $400+ electric bills in July, the work starts in March.

The Attic Heat Trap

In a poorly insulated home, your attic can reach 140°F by midday in the summer. That heat pushes down into your living space, forcing your air conditioner to run non-stop. Most homes in Poughkeepsie and Fishkill have old fiberglass batts that have settled over time, leaving "thermal bridges" where heat pours in.

Lock in Efficiency Now

By installing spray foam in your attic this month, you create a thermal "cap" on your home.

• Immediate Savings: Homeowners typically see a 30–50% reduction in heating and cooling costs.
• HVAC Longevity: When your home stays cool naturally, your expensive AC unit doesn't have to work nearly as hard.
• Increased Home Value: Energy efficiency is a top priority for 2026 homebuyers.

Beat the summer rush and the rising rates. Schedule your Foamco insulation quote this March and stay cool for less.
