This Homeowner called us out to their home to take a look at their attic. They had the old insulation removed and now needed new insulation installed. Our Building Science Specialist arrived and evaluated the attic and gave them the best options for insulating and air sealing their attic.
When the installers arrived they cleaned and vacuumed the attic to remove all dust and debris from the previously installed old inefficient insulation. Next they air sealed the many various points where air from your home leaks up into your attic and is lost. Then We Installed our Blown-in premium TruSoft cellulose insulation, which fills all gaps and odd shaped voids.
Thanks to Dr. Energy Saver this homeowner will now have lower fuel and electric bills. a more comfortable, less drafty home.
This homeowner in Sturbridge, MA met us at a home show and expressed some concerns in their home to us. Their main concern was how cold it was inside the home all winter, even with the heat running constantly. They were also concerned with how hot it was inside the home during the winter with AC on.
During our evaluation, we noticed that they did have old insulation in their attic that was inefficient. They also did not have their duct work insulated. This can be a huge issue because the air that you are paying to heat and cool your home will not come out at the temperature it should due to the extreme environment in an attic. All of the old insulation is removed, and we begin to air seal around the duct-work with our Silver-Glo foam insulation boards. Then we spray our Spray Foam insulation around the duct work to completely seal it. This will make the air delivered to the rooms in the home cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter. Then we create an insulated catwalk for storage and to be able to access your duct-work! Next, we blow our TruSoft Cellulose insulation into the attic. Thanks to Dr. Energy Saver this home is more comfortable, has more even temperatures, and energy efficient!
This homeowner in Norwich, CT called us regarding the radon level in her recently purchased home. She had had the home tested, and the radon level came out to 4.6 pCi/L. This is over the EPA's recommended Radon Action Level of 4.0 pCi/L. Therefore, she wanted to install a radon mitigation system immediately, as she was concerned about the health and safety of her family. She wanted her radon levels to be under 2 pCi/L.
We were able to help this customer. We installed a passive radon mitigation system in her home. We identified two separate locations that were in need of a radon fan. Once the ideal spaces for the system were located, our radon mitigation technician was able to begin to install them. He first started by drilling a hole into the concrete slab in the basement. Once the core had been removed, the radon technician installed a pipe and secured it. He also installed a manometer - which measures the pressure of the radon in the system. This is the indicator of whether or not the radon system is functioning correctly. He then drilled a hole for the exterior penetration and installed pipes for that as well. He then went to the outside of the home, installing the fan. He then repeated the process for the next fan on the other side of the house. The technician then sealed all cracks, gaps, and around the holes drilled for the system. After a quick test of the system, our radon technician was done and the homeowner was happy! Now she has a brand new mitigation system that will keep her radon levels low and her family more safe.

She had recently purchased a home, and during the buying process, they tested the radon levels, and it came out to be 4.6 pCi/L. This is over the EPA's recommended Radon Action Level of 4.0 pCi/L. She was able to get a credit from the seller in order to start the radon mitigation process.

This homeowner in Woodstock, CT called us for an estimate on replacing the insulation in their home. They were especially concerned with the very cold finished room over the garage. They had fiberglass insulation in the garage "ceiling", which leaves lots of air space for cold air to enter the home and escape. This decreases efficiency, making it cold in the winter! Since this garage did not have a ceiling, we had to customize a solution for them!
We sent out our production team to get to work. First, we remove all of the old, nasty fiberglass insulation and the boards holding it up. Then we we staple Insulweb as shown to the floor joists to create a subspace. Now, through small holes we stick our dense pack hose into the open spaced and dense pack with our TruSoft cellulose insulation. We patch up the holes used, and we are done! This will drastically decrease the uneven temperature of the room over the garage. Thanks to Dr. Energy Saver by Eco Energy Solutions, this home is now more comfortable, and energy efficient!
