This homeowner in West Hartford, CT called us wanting to get his attic insulation removed and replaced. His home was very uncomfortable, especially upstairs. Our Home Comfort Specialist came out to the home and noticed that the attic was improperly vented. There was also a bath fan that was not ducted out.
We had the perfect solution for this customer. We were able to replace the attic insulation with TruSoft™ cellulose insulation. We started by removing the loose insulation using a large vacuum. We then went in and air-sealed around all of the points where air leaks up from the home to the attic. We did this using our Zypfoam™ spray foam. Once the attic was air sealed, we used a long hose to blow in TruSoft™ cellulose insulation. TruSoft™ is amazing -- it does not burn, get moldy, or attract pests. The blown-in insulation fills all gaps and oddly shaped voids. The homeowner is now much more comfortable in his home!
This homeowner in West Suffield, CT had a problem with her cold and moist basement. One of our trained building scientists noticed she didn't have a basement door suitable to stop the outside elements from coming into her home. Our team got to work ripping out the old framing. After that was done we installed new pressure treated wood so the framing would not rot. once that was done we installed the new steel insulated door, and air sealed the gaps for an air tight seal. Now the basement will stay dryer and warmer for longer.
Our Team insulated this Knee Wall space and made the home more comfortable all year round. Also allows the homeowner to spend less on fuel and energy.
This home owner in Bloomfield, CT had a humidity problem in there bathroom due to not having a bathroom fan. By not having a fan, you are letting all that humidity stay in the bathroom with no where for it to go. This eventually will cause mold to grow on the Sheetrock walls and mold is not something you want in your home. To fix this problem, our team installed a high efficiency bath fan. After we installed the fan, we have to duct the vent out the home by running the vent to the Gable side of the home. We then attach it to a proper vent so the humid air can escape. Now the homeowners will not have any more mold in their bathroom!
This homeowner called our office looking for a full Energy Evaluation because her home was very cold and drafty and very expensive to heat.
Upon performing the evaluation, our Building Science Specialist realized that the basement was the main culprit. Without a properly insulated and air sealed basement, your home may seem much colder than necessary, resulting in a cold and drafty home overall and much higher energy bills!
By Insulating the Rim Joists with Closed Cell Spray Foam and lining the basement walls with Foamax Insulation Board, Dr. Energy Saver was able to fix the problem and accomplish our goal to provide warmer, less drafty rooms, and lower energy costs, making this homeowner happy, and more comfortable.
