Dr. Energy Saver Of Connecticut Before & After Photos

This home used to have massive ice dams. To prevent them from forming in the future, we replaced the old fiberglass insulation with a nice thick layer of our TruSoft cellulose. We also air sealed the attic floor, then covered the skylight assemblies with an airtight wrapping of our SilverGlo foam boards. Now the home doesn't have air leaks that cause ice damming!

This meriden home had insulation that wasn't very efficient. The attic was very drafty and alot of air would escape. The home owners were very frustrated with their previously poorly installed insulation and decided its time to call someone to fix it. They contacted us here at Dr. EnergySaver of Connecticut and Paul Zambrano, one of hour home energy specialists came up with a solution to fix the issue for good. We took out their fiberglass insulation and put in our Spray foam. Spray foam is an open-cell foam made up of tiny bubbles that are interconnected. The bubbles hold air, which provides insulation value — typically between R-3.5 and R-4 per inch. The homeowners now have a better insulated and seal attic that holds in their heated or conditioned air, saving them big money on their heating and cooling costs.

Before we were called, this attic was a major source of high energy costs for this Farmington home and made the rooms directly beneath the attic cold and drafty during the winter. When we got the call we quickly realized the problem was due to a lack of insulation and proper air sealing. We then insulated the attic with our open-cell spray foam, which has an excellent gap and crack filling capability, as well as the ability to stop air leaks. Our attic insulation installation cut the heating & cooling costs of this Farmington, CT home by as much as 40% for the owners!

This attic used to be very hot in the summer and cold in the winter. It was making energy costs for the homeowner sky high. We stopped the air leaks and reduced the heating and cooling expenses by installing open-cell spray foam insulation. However, the spray foam around the fireplace could potentially heat up and cause a fire hazard. To prevent this, we wrapped the upper part of the chimney with RockWool, insulation with a melting point of 2000 degrees Fahrenheit. The owners of this home now can enjoy their fireplace and home at a fraction of the price!

This Farmington home had some major issues with air leakage from a lack of insulation. By coating the roof of this attic with open-cell spray foam, we were able to transform this drafty attic into an air-sealed, energy saving space. We lowered the heating and cooling costs in this Farmington, CT home by up to 40%!
