These homeowners in Bolton, CT were having a difficult time keeping their home comfortable. They have their heating and cooling system running through the attic, which, being an unconditioned space, is prone to extreme temperatures. Given those extremes, the system has to work harder to keep the air running through the ducts at the desired temperature despite the air around it.

We used our Tight n' True Duct encapsulation system to insulate the ducts. We started with our SilverGlo insulation board on the top side of the ducts. SilverGlo is a graphite infused EPS foam board with a radiant barrier, doing double the work to stop the transfer of heat. We then spray 1 inch of closed cell spray foam insulation on the sides of the ducts. The bottom of the ducts can't be sprayed, however, once we blow our TruSoft cellulose in the attic, covering much of the duct, the space will be buried. 

Thanks to Dr. Energy Saver by Eco Energy Solutions, the heating system doesn't have to work nearly as hard to keep the home comfortable, lowering energy costs.

Bolton'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

Job Stories From Bolton, CT
Insulating an Attic with a Sloped Stairwell Ceiling in Bolton, CT

Our customer in Bolton, CT called with concerns regarding mold he believed was being caused by the attic. Our Home Comfort Specialists came to investigate his home. He noticed that there was a sloped ceiling in the stairwell. The ceiling was the only barrier between the stairwell and the attic, meaning that there was not proper insulation in the home. When a stairwell has a sloped ceiling forming a big triangular space that is open to the attic, it creates a heat loss (winter) and heat gain (summer) problem in your home. The sidewalls of the open well into the attic are hard to insulate and often leak air from the walls of your house into the attic. The stairwell ceiling radiates heat from the house into the attic, and from the hot attic to the house in the summer. Insulating the attic properly is not possible with this big stairwell hole in it. Results - More uncomfortable home, higher heating and cooling costs.

 

Luckily, Fogarty's Home Services had a solution to this issue. We installed an airtight structural cover in the attic, which covered the sloped ceiling. A cover made of wood is installed over your stairwell at the attic floor level. Appropriate framing and wood sheets are used. The cover is sealed with expanding polyurethane foam to make it airtight. Blown insulation can now be installed over the attic floor and the stairwell cover. The sturdy cover doesn’t pose a fall hazard if someone crawls into the attic in the future. Results - less air leakage, less unwanted heat loss and heat gain, and the attic can be insulated properly.

Pull Down Stairs to Attic in Bolton, CT

These homeowners in Bolton, CT contacted our office once they realized insufficient insulation in their attic was making it harder to heat the home. Through our free energy evaluation, we found that not only was insulation lacking, but there were many spaces and leaks allowing air that they were paying to heat to escape into the attic and out through the vents.

Attics need to be vented in order to keep moisture from being trapped and to avoid ice damming by keeping the roof temperature regulated. The problem lies in that the conditioned space of the home, essentially the inside of the home, is often not well sealed from the attic that is not conditioned, essentially the outside of the home. Warm air from inside escapes through the attic, and for every cubic foot of warm air escaping through the top of the home, one cubic foot of cold outside air is pulled in from leaks towards the bottom of the house. One large air leak was the attic hatch pull down stairs. We still want to keep the attic accessible for maintenance to be done on the heating and cooling system as needed, but stop the flow of air.

Our solution was our David Lewis Hatch Cover. The cover is made of SilverGlo graphite infused insulation foam board which has a radiant barrier facing to keep heat from coming out of the home in the winter and keep heat from the attic out during the summer. The cover has a handle on the inside so that it is easy to place and remove when entering and exiting the attic. The cover is also not visible from the inside of the home while in use.

Thanks to Dr. Energy Saver by Eco Energy Solutions, these homeowners have lower energy costs and a more comfortable home!
