This attic in Stratford, CT wasn't properly insulated. The existing insulation had little to no R-Value, the insulation was scattered and was not doing any good for the homes energy efficiency. Having a home that has an attic with poorly preforming insulation can run your monthly utility bills up a pretty penny. This homeowner wanted a space that could be used for storage but was also energy efficient and provided enough insulation for their family to live comfortably in the rooms below. We installed blown-in insulation over most of the attic, raising the R Value up to R60 from the previous next to nothing value it had before. Blown in insulation offers more uniform and thorough coverage than typical fiberglass batts. We also built an insulated catwalk using particle board and rigid foam insulation with retaining dams to keep the storage area clean of blown cellulose. This room is much more attractive looking and doubles as a storage haven and will now be one of the most energy efficient rooms in the house! This homeowner couldn't be happier with their new space!
A homeowner in Shelton had insulation in their attic that was causing their home to be energy-inefficient so they called us at Dr. Energy Saver of CT to fix this problem. One of our Sales Consultants, Keith Saunders, went out to the home to assess their attic and provide a solution for work to be done.
Then, it would soon be time for one of our Foremen, Rudy Abel, and his crew to install this job. They removed the old insulation and installed retention dams and a catwalk. Then they blew in our TruSoft Cellulose insulation throughout the whole attic. It will now act as a thermal barrier for the home, ensuring that the temperature throughout the home is always regulated. Now this homeowner is happy knowing their home is energy efficient!
The old-fashioned way to insulate a crawlspace was to install fiberglass batt insulation between the joists, and to vent the crawl space so that outside air could circulate beneath the house. Unfortunately, Fiberglass insulation doesn’t respond well to the moist conditions that can be found in this area of the home. The cotton-like material absorbs moisture, compresses or sags, and loses R-value like it did in this home. The Dr. Energy Saver of Connecticut team insulated the crawlspace walls using spray foam, and we installed insulation and our CleanSpace vapor barrier on the floor. This home is now more energy efficient and comfortable with a clean and properly insulated crawl space.
The owners of this home wanted better attic insulation and having room for storage was a huge priority. To accomodate their needs, we installed an insulated deck. Beneath the wood is our SilverGlo rigid insulation. Unlike fiberglass batts, which can compress, lose R-value and even fall out of place, rigid foam stays put once it's installed. It creates a flat, smooth barrier that retains its original R-value forever! When the joints between foam panels are sealed correctly, rigid foam acts as an air and thermal barrier. Afterwards, blown cellulose was installed everywhere outside the retention damns. With our innovative insulation products, we were able to save these homeowners money on their monthly energy costs!
This homeowner in Oxford had an attic that had old insulation that was causing their home to be energy inefficient. They called us and we sent out one of our Sales Consultants, Keith Saunders, to the home to assess the issues and propose a solution that would ensure their home would be properly insulated.
Rudy Abel, one of our Foremen, and his crew would install this job. They began by removing old insulation. Then they installed retention dams and an insulated storage deck. Then they blew in our TruSoft cellulose insulation that will act as a thermal barrier to the home. With that, this home will now be energy efficient and the homeowner can feel a difference!
