The 2025 HFC Ban Is Here: What Indiana and Michigan Homeowners Need to Know About Spray Foam Insulation

As of January 1, 2025, a major change in spray foam insulation regulation has officially taken effect across the U.S. The use of hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs)—once a standard blowing agent in many spray polyurethane foam products—is now banned. If you’re planning an insulation upgrade in Indiana or Michigan this year, the kind of spray foam being used on your project matters more than ever. At M.Y. Insulation, we’re ahead of the curve with fully compliant, environmentally safe spray foam options already in use across the Midwest. 

Why Were HFCs Banned? 

HFCs were previously used to help spray foam expand and create an effective thermal barrier. However, these compounds are also powerful greenhouse gases with a high global warming potential. With the federal ban now in place, all insulation contractors must use alternative blowing agents—specifically HFOs (hydrofluoroolefins)—that are safer for the environment while delivering the same performance. 

If you’ve worked with spray foam in the past, or are planning a new project in 2025, it’s critical to ensure your installer is using HFO-based products that comply with current environmental regulations. 

What This Means for Homes in Indiana and Michigan 

Midwest winters demand high-quality insulation. Whether you’re retrofitting a home in Fort Wayne or upgrading attic insulation in Kalamazoo, your spray foam solution needs to meet today’s building codes and climate expectations. 

At M.Y. Insulation, we’re already using updated spray foam systems across both Indiana and Michigan that are fully compliant with the 2025 HFC ban. These products: 

• Deliver exceptional air sealing and moisture control 

• Improve year-round energy efficiency 

• Offer the same or better R-value performance compared to outdated foams 

We serve residential, commercial and agricultural clients with spray foam insulation solutions built for long-term value and regulatory peace of mind. 

Avoid Non-Compliant Spray Foam Insulation in 2025 

Now that the ban is in effect, insulation projects using HFC-based spray foam are no longer up to code. Unfortunately, some contractors may still be unaware or behind in their transition. That’s why it’s so important to ask your insulation company about their products. 

At M.Y. Insulation, we’ve done all the prep work. We’ve already switched our entire inventory to meet new federal standards and trained our teams across Michigan and Indiana to apply modern HFO-based spray foam safely and efficiently. You won’t have to worry about failed inspections, environmental issues or redoing work that isn’t compliant.
