This homeowner in Mansfield, CT called us out to their home for a Home energy evaluation because their home was drafty, they had cold floors, and high energy bills. We noticed along the rim joists around the perimeter of the home in the basement a lot of air is able to escape. The cold concrete walls of the basement are buried in the ground; they tend to be 17° cooler than your home should be. We also found moldy inefficient insulation in the basement!
