Insulating an Attic in Andover, CT Insulating an Attic in Andover, CT

This homeowner in Andover, CT reached out to us when she found out that the entirety of her attic insulated was moldy. Our Home Comfort Specialist arrived at the home and immediately noted that they were correct - and that something needed to be done to help them as soon as possible for the safety of the family. 

 

We went to work, immediately removing the fiberglass attic insulation that was there. We then sealed all air leaks using our one-part Zypfoam, and installed baffles to keep some air flow from the outside to the attic. We then insulated with our TruSoft™ blown-in cellulose insulation. This insulation is fire resistant, mold resistant, and is not a comfortable home for pests. 

 

This homeowner now has a more comfortable and safe home for herself and her family as a result of our work!

Andover's Leading Spray Foam Insulation Contractor

Spray foam insulation is the best choice for insulation if you’re looking to increase your comfort & decrease your energy bills. Spray foam insulation is truly the best option for home insulation and here are a few reasons why. Spray Foam Insulation provides an air barrier due to its ability to fill gaps and cracks. It is also great at staying in the hard to reach areas because of its super-adhesive qualities. Spray foam insulation is also waterproof, unlike fiberglass and cellulose insulation. Water will not be able to pass through the foam which makes it an extremely durable and long-lasting product. Lastly, spray foam insulation is foolproof. Spray foam is sprayed as a liquid and then expands and hardens to fill voids and gaps. There is never any chance for an area to be missed or bypassed. Once cured, spray foam insulation will stay in place for decades to come and will never shift or settle like fiberglass. To ensure your home has the best insulation available and your energy bills are low, switch to spray foam insulation today!

Benefits of Spray Foam Insulation Include:

  • Spray foam works in all areas of the home
  • Has a greater R-value
  • Acts as an air sealant
  • Is waterproof
  • Leaves no gaps

Your home's crawl space may often go unnoticed but it holds great importance when it comes to the comfort of your home. As the lowest point of your home, the crawl space can suck in cold air from outside and once that air is inside it will slowly warm and circulate upwards throughout the rest of your home. Adding proper insulation to your crawl space can make your home healthier and also lower your energy bills by up to 30%. Crawl space insulation will block air from entering into your crawl space and we also add additional insulation so the existing air won't circulate throughout your home. Crawl space insulation is a great way to spend your money due to the future energy savings you will see! To learn more about crawl space insulation in your Andover home, call or click today!

Job Stories From Andover, CT
Insulating a Chimney in Andover, CT

This homeowner in Andover, CT called us with concerns about the insulation in his home being inefficient, causing high energy bills. When our Home Comfort Specialist arrived, one of the things he noted was the fact that there were large gaps around the chimney with no insulation. The building code requires that no combustible materials, including wood framing and insulation, be within 2” of a masonry chimney. This has left millions of homes with an airspace from the basement or crawl space right to the attic. Air that the homeowner has paid to heat is continually leaking out of their home to the vented attic where it is lost. Results - a more drafty, uncomfortable house that’s harder to heat, higher fuel and electric bills.

 

Fogarty's Home Services' solution to this problem is simple. We do a "chimney wrap". First, the space between the wood framing and masonry is flashed with metal and then sealed airtight with special high temperature fire caulk. Then completely fireproof “Rock Wool” insulation panels are installed around the chimney so that our TruSoft™ cellulose insulation may be blown against the chimney. “Chimney Wrapping” leaves no gaps in the insulation around a chimney, and seals one of the biggest air leaks in a home. Results - Lower house air leakage, less heat loss, home is more comfortable and easier to heat - lower fuel bills.

Insulating a Basement in Andover, CT

This homeowner in Andover, CT called us with concerns about how expensive his energy bills have been. Our Home Comfort Specialist came out to see what he needed. One of the most obvious things to our team member was the fact that this homeowner had an uninsulated basement with poured concrete walls. Poured concrete basement walls are buried in the cool earth and are perpetually cold - about 17˚F cooler than we like the interior of our homes to be. In the winter the part of the foundation that sticks up above the ground is much colder than that. Heat moves from more to less. The dense concrete has a lot of mass and heat from the basement constantly flows into and through the wall by conduction. Homeowners with a furnace, boiler, or water heater in the basement need to know that the heat that comes off this equipment is wasted - lost into the cold concrete, instead of warming the basement and floors above it. In the summer, warm humid air from outside hits the cold basement walls and condensation forms, supporting mold. Results - cold basement, cold floors above the basement, higher fuel bills, more difficult to heat the house.

 

Luckily, Fogarty's Home Services had the perfect solution for this customer. Our solution is our Foamax insulation boards. Our Foamax polyisocyanurate (Polyiso) foam insulation board is installed on the basement walls with our proprietary Foam-Tite fasteners. But not just any foam - Foamax polyiso foam has the flame retardant properties to satisfy building codes to leave it exposed in a basement - unlike expanded or extruded polystyrene foam (EPS, XPS). In addition, the Foamax polyiso board has a foil facing to reflect heat so the insulation isn’t doing all the work by itself. Results - warmer, more comfortable basement, warmer floors above basement, less condensation in the summertime, lower fuel bills, house is easier to heat.

Replacing Old Basement Windows with High-Efficiency Windows in Andover, CT

This homeowner in Andover, CT called us when he realized that his insulation in his basement was falling down. When our Home Comfort Specialist arrived at the home, he noticed that the basement windows in the home were old and not sealed. They were not energy efficient, and were part of the reason why the basement was so uncomfortable. Home builders paid little attention to the energy efficiency or looks of basement windows, often choosing the cheapest option available. This leaves most people with single pane glass windows with metal frames that let lots of cold air leak into your home. Single pane clear glass lets heat from the home escape by conduction through the cold glass. Metal is highly thermally conductive and a poor material for a window frame. And metal rusts in the damp environment near the ground. Perhaps the worst part is that these basement windows leak air - lots of it, because the house has lower air pressure at the bottom and sucks cold outside air into your home, causing a cold basement and cold floors above. And let’s face it, these windows are ugly. Results - cold basement, cold floors upstairs, drafts, higher fuel and electric bills, more condensation in the basement in the summertime, less comfortable home.

 

Fogarty's Home Services had the perfect solution for this homeowner. We utilized our Everlast™ High Efficiency Vinyl Window Inserts for this homeowner. The window sashes are removed and Everlast™ basement window inserts are installed and sealed airtight. They feature 2 panes of high performance “Low E” glass, which let’s visible light through but block most of the heat flow with a special metallic coating on the inside of both panes of glass. The sash features a vinyl frame - the perfect material for a window in the damp environment near the ground. The vinyl looks great and will never rust, rot or need paint. And your new efficient windows will look great! Results - warmer basement, warmer floors above the basement, less drafts, less condensation in summer, lower overall home air leakage, lower fuel and electric bills.
