Reliable Insulation & Radon Testing Company in Stafford Springs, CT

This homeowner in Stafford Springs, CT reached out to us initially about basement insulation. She wanted to have her rim joist insulated. When our Home Comfort Specialist came out to the home, they discussed basement and attic insulation. He found that there was mold in the attic, and the homeowner wanted to remove it as soon as possible. 

We had the perfect solution for this customer's issues -- our Mold-X2 Cleaner and Mold-X2 Botanical treatments. We start with the Mold-X2 Cleaner. Once applied, mold begins to disappear almost instantly. Mold-X2 Botanical is then applied to the area, preventing re-growth of mold. Now, this attic no longer has a mold issue! 

This homeowner in Stafford Springs, CT reached out to us after he noticed that he had mold in his attic. He had been placing traps in his attic after the home had a flying squirrel infestation. The mold had spread to his attic insulation, and when the mold was removed he wanted the insulation replaced. Before we could replace it, we had to remove the old insulation.

We helped this customer first by removing the insulation from the attic. The batt insulation was bagged and brought to the truck for removal. Result - Now the attic is clean! It’s ready for mold removal, proper air sealing and installation of clean, new, fresh cellulose insulation to make the home comfortable and energy efficient. 

Before most homes had air conditioning, whole house fans mounted in the upper floor ceiling were somewhat popular. These fans would suck out a very high volume of warm air from the house, which would be replaced by incoming outside air entering open windows. Of course there was no control over how hot, cold, humid or dusty the incoming air was, but without a properly insulated house with air conditioning, there was little choice. Today, most of these whole house fans are obsolete, and never or seldom used. And once Dr. Energy Saver completes a project in a home, these fans are most certainly not needed any more. The problem is that the fan louvers leak a lot of air even when the fan is off - and for every cubic foot of air that leaks out the top of the house, a new cubic foot of cold or hot/humid outside air is sucked into the bottom of the house to replace it. In addition, the fan/louver area represents a big gap in your ceiling insulation.

Fogarty's Home Services exclusive “David Lewis Whole House Fan Cover™” (named for our engineer who developed it) is installed over your fan assembly and sealed airtight with expanding foam. It stops air leakage and insulates over the fan. Made of lightweight, high tech SilverGlo™ foam insulation, which has graphite infused into the foam to bump up the insulation value by 24% over standard EPS foam. It also has a radiant barrier (foil) on the flat top to reflect heat back in during winter and out in the summer, so the insulation isn’t doing all the work by itself. This cover is completely compatible with our TruSoft™ blown insulation in your attic. Most homeowners will never want to use their fan again, especially after other comfort improvements are made by Fogarty's Home Services. If you may want to use the fan in the future, just let your Fogarty's Home Services representative know and we will “pumpkin cut” a removable lid in the top of the cover.
