This homeowner in South Hadley, MA called us when she wanted to get her basement insulated. When our Home Comfort Specialist arrived, he noted that there was not a door at the bottom of the basement stairs. These stairs led up to a bulkhead door, and therefore to the outside. This was an issue, as this means that there is no insulation between the stairway and the outside air -- making the entire basement considered "outside" rather than "inside", no matter how much insulation we put in the rest of the basement.
We helped this customer by installing a new door in their home. We built custom framing to fit the dimensions of the doorway in place. Then, we installed a insulated exterior door with weather stripping. Now, the entire basement is "inside" the door instead of outside. No more uncomfortable, cold basement.
This homeowner in Enfield, CT had single-paned windows which were very drafty in the winter. She wanted to make her home more energy efficient and comfortable. Our team installed this beautiful bow window in a custom color to match the outside of her home. The homeowner was thrilled with the new look! She is looking forward to a more comfortable home this winter and reduced heating costs.
This homeowner in Enfield, CT was having issues with drafts in their home. Old metal framed, single pane windows allow the heat from inside the home escape both through the glass and the thermally conductive metal. A lot of air is also able to leak into the home.
We removed the old windows and installed our Everlast high efficiency vinyl window inserts. The windows feature two panes of high efficiency glass that allows light in without letting heat to escape. The vinyl on these windows will not rust, rot or need paint, making it perfect for the damp environment outside of the window!
Thanks to Dr. Energy Saver by Eco Energy Solutions, this house will no longer have drafts coming up into the home!
This homeowner in Enfield, CT called us hoping that we would be able to help him insulate his basement. When our Home Comfort Specialist arrived, he noted that the home had extremely inefficient basement windows. Air leaked around them, meaning that no matter how great the insulation there was, there would still be points in the home where the conditioned air came out and the outside air came in.
Fogarty's Home Services was able to help this customer. We installed Everlast™ high efficiency vinyl windows. They are double pane glass with a special coating to reduce heat flow. The framing is made from vinyl, which will never rust or rot. They are a perfect addition to this homeowner's basement -- and will work with our other solutions to keep his home comfortable for years to come!
This home owner in Enfield, CT called us out to see if we could reduce the dryness in her home. Our homes get dry because of the dry air in the winter season. To help reduce the dryness, one of the things we did was install a basement door. First thing we do is rip out the old door and framing. Then we put in pressure treated wood for a frame and install the door. We air seal the gaps and finish it off with some nice trim. This door will now help remedy the dryness problem in this home!
