Installing SunHouse Basement Window Enclosures in Holyoke, MA

This homeowner in Holyoke, MA initially called us hoping to get help with her garage insulation. However, she was interested in having her entire home evaluated, as she had a few issues that she wanted to hear opinions on. During the evaluation, our Home Comfort Specialist asked if she had any other concerns in her home outside of the garage insulation. She said that the home, which she had moved into a few years prior, had window wells she wanted replaced. She said that they were particularly old, and were leaking water into the basement during rainstorms. 

 

We were able to help this customer! We were able to replace her old, leaking window wells with brand new SunHouse™ window enclosures. SunHouse™ features a sturdy, matching clear cover, which keeps out rain and leaves. The base is a bright color, ensuring that more natural light is reflected into the basement. And the bottom leans that there is no mud splashing on the windows, or weeds growing inside the enclosure! The homeowner was very happy, and is looking forward to not having leaking window wells.

Installing a Basement Window in Greenfield, MA

This homeowner called us out to their home to take a look at a serious problem they were experiencing. The original problem was that these homeowners had a large mold problem in their attic. While conducting our Full Home Energy Evaluation we noticed that they had a very old, corroded wooden basement window.We asked the homeowner if they were paying a high heating bill, and they agreed that they were. We assessed the mold problem, and used our Dr. Energy Saver treatments to resolve this. Next we had to explain to this customer that an old wood basement window in a stone foundation are very inefficient. When this type of window is in a stone foundation it allows a lot of heat to escape buy conduction through the cold glass. This is because a home has lower air pressure at the bottom, the basement, and sucks a great deal of cold air in from the exterior of the home. Another issue that was occurring was because of the damn environment near the ground, causing rot on the existing window. Now we know what we need to do.

To fix this basement window, we know that we need to fully replace the entire window with our Dr. Energy Saver High Efficiency Window. We must first remove the old window, and frame completely. We make sure to clean and properly prep the window area for a new window to be put in. The next thing we do is install our new High Efficiency Windows. These windows are double pained, with a special metallic coating on top to reduce heat flow in or out through the glass. The last step is to seal the window with our window and door foam! These windows will never rot, rust, or need to be repainted. Now that this new window is set and put in these customers can live more healthy, happy, and energy efficient in their home!

Installing a Door in Greenfield, MA

This homeowner in Greenfield, MA called us wanting to know more about getting basement insulation. When our Home Comfort Specialist came out to the home, we noted that her basement did not have a door. Cold winter air gets sucked into the home continually in winter. In summer, warm humid air enters the basement and causes condensation on cool floor, wall and duct surfaces. Results - Cold basement, cold floors on first floor, drafts, higher heating fuel costs, condensation in summer, higher electric costs for A/C.

 

We had the perfect solution for this customer. In this solution, proper framing is installed and a new door with a locking knob is installed. Result - warmer basement and floors over the basement, drier basement in summer, lower fuel and electric costs, less drafts, house easier to heat, more security.

Replacing Window Wells in Hadley, MA

When our Home Comfort Specialist came out to the home, he was discussing her general home comfort issues.

We were able to help this customer! We began by removing the old, concrete window wells. We then replaced them with our SunHouse™ window enclosures. They feature a white bottom that reflects natural light into the basement. They also have a clear cover that is both sturdy and fitted. This prevents rain and leaves from getting in to the window wells. Leaves had collected for years in the old wells, so this was a welcome change.
