Air Seal & Wrap Open Air Space Around Chimney in Simsbury, CT

Our Simsbury, CT customer called Fogarty's Home Services because his home was very uncomfortable due to insufficient insulation. When our Home Comfort Specialist conducted a Free Home Energy Evaluation, one of the problems he discovered was open air space around the chimney in the attic. That open space was allowing air that the customer paid to heat his home with to continuously leak out of the attic. To solve this problem, Fogarty's Home Services installed metal flashing against the space between the wood framing and masonry. Next, we sealed the chimney airtight and installed completely fireproof "Rock Wool" insulation panels. Our happy customer will now feel a much more comfortable temperature in his home and his energy bills will be lower. "We Fix Uncomfortable Homes!"
