Insulation Services Before & After Photos

This homeowner in South Hadley, MA contacted us about having old insulation in the attic which needed to be replaced. As you can see, the previous insulation only barely made it up as high as the joist, which on average is 8 to 10 inches, only half of what is required for a home!

We removed this insulation and sealed any air leaks that were present to ensure that none of the air this homeowner pays to heat will escape through the top of the house. We the installed 20 full inches of our TruSoft cellulose insulation. We also created a catwalk to make it safe and easy to reach heating and cooling equipment that resides in the attic.

Thanks to Dr. Energy Saver this homeowner can live more comfortably and enjoy having lower energy costs!

This homeowner in South Hadley, MA called us out to their home because they had a very old historic poorly insulated home. We knew that we needed to help this home. We removed all the old nasty fiberglass insulation because it is very old and inefficient.

You can see in the before photo we have already been in and air sealed all penetrations, and you can see we have air sealed the can lights with can heat resistant light covers over them. This will ensure once we get to our next step, blowing insulation, the lights are completely sealed and safe from any damage! Now we blow in our TruSoft Cellulose Insulation to the optimal R-Value (insulation value). If you look closely you can see our insulation ruler almost covered!

Now, thanks to Dr. Energy Saver by Eco Energy Solutions this home has updated insulation, is more comfortable, and energy efficient!

This homeowner in South Hadley, MA called us hoping to get his insulation replaced in his basement. He had fiberglass insulation in the rim joist. He was having a rodent problem that he wanted addressed, and the rodents were coming through the insulation and had impacted its ability to insulate the home. 

We had the perfect solution for this customer! We utilized two-part expanding spray foam. We insulated the rim joist (the perimeter of the floor framing system along the exterior of the home). We spray this foam in the rim joist and over the sill plate. Insulating the rim joist in this way seals all air leaks -- filling in the cracks and gaps that are present there. This prevents outside air from getting into the home. The homeowner is now very happy, and he is much more comfortable in his home! 

This homeowner in East Windsor, CT reached out to us looking to insulate his home. He had fiberglass insulation in his basement that he wanted replaced. In a basement, the “rim joist” is the perimeter of the floor framing system along the exterior of the house. The joints and gaps between all the framing members allow for a lot of air leakage into the house. The rim joist is seldom insulated and never air sealed. Basement ceiling insulation, especially fiberglass batts, doesn’t stop the flow of cold air into the home. Results - cold floors, drafty, uncomfortable rooms, cold basement/lower level, higher heating and cooling bills and more condensation in the basement or crawl space in the summer.

We had the perfect solution for this customer. In this solution, we spray foam the rim joist in the basement in order to seal and insulate it. Two part expanding spray foam is installed on the rim joist and over the sill plate to seal all air leaks from the outside and insulate this important area of the home. Our spray foam has a high insulation value per inch of R7, and because it expands, it seals all cracks and gaps and joints where air from the outside enters the home. Results - warmer floors, less drafts, more comfortable rooms, the house is easier to heat and costs less to heat, less summertime condensation on cold basement surfaces.

This homeowner wanted his home to be more energy efficient and comfortable year round.  The gaps in the framing allow a lot of air to leak into the home. Our team used our two part expandable spray foam to seal and insulate all the gaps in the rim joist stopping the air leakage into the basement.  The floors in the rooms above the basement will be warmer and the rooms will be more comfortable year round.  This home will be easier to heat in the winter and cool in the summer.
