Dr. Energy Saver Of Connecticut Before & After Photos

A homeowner in Wethersfield, CT had existing insulation in their attic that was causing their home to be energy inefficient. They called us at Dr. Energy Saver of CT to make a change. One of our Sales Consultants, Scott Mains, went out to the home to estimate their issues. He informed them that they would need new insulation. One of our Foremen, Jony Fernandez, and his team removed the old insulation and blew in our TruSoft Cellulose insulation. This would act as a thermal barrier for the attic, keeping air in. Now this homeowner will see a difference in their energy bill and the temperature in their home will be regulated properly! 

A homeowner in Wethersfield, CT had an attic that was not insulated properly, causing their home to be colder than it should. They made the right decision when they called us at Dr. Energy Saver of CT to find a solution. After scheduling an appointment, one of our Sales Consultants, Matt Abbassi, went to the home to estimate the issues and then provide the correct solution for this home. 

Once a proposal was made, it would soon be time for one of our Foremen, Rudy Abel, and his team to tackle this project. The team created a catwalk in the attic so the homeowner could properly get into the space safely. Then they blew in our TruSoft Cellulose Insulation throughout the attic. This will act as a thermal barrier to the home, ensuring that no cold air gets in and no warm air goes out. Now this homeowner can enjoy their comfortable home! 

When we examined this attic, we found that the existing blown fiberglass and fiberglass batts were allowing heat and air to escape from the conditioned lower levels of the home up through the attic during the winter months. In place of the fiberglass, we installed our TruSoft blown cellulose insulation. This celluose insulation is treated with a natural boric acid solution to make it resistant to fire and unattractive to insects and pests. It is highly resistant to air flow and an excellent choice for attic insulation when preceded by thoroughly air sealing all of the gaps, seams and holes. Dr. Energy Saver of Connecticut is pleased to have saved the owners of this home up to 40% on heating and cooling costs!

Before we came to this Glastonbury attic, there were cracks and air leaks under all of the fiberglass insulation. This was allowing unwanted air flow through the attic and home, causing uneven temperatures which resulted in high electric bills. Wanting a solution, these Glastonbury homeowners gave Dr. Energy of Connecticut a call. Our Design Specialist, Keith Saunders, came to the house for a Full Home Energy Evaluation. He concluded that the home would need to be completely air sealed to solve the air leakage problem. Then, blown-in cellulose would be implemented to ensure home efficiency and comfort, where it offers a superior R-value compared to traditional fiberglass batts. With a plan set, David Hicks and his team came to air seal the attic and install the blown-in cellulose. With an upgraded attic, the homeowners could not be happier with a home that now has even temperatures and a lower energy bill! 

A crawl space under this Glastonbury, CT’s first-floor bedroom was created when the original owners of the house put on an addition. The space had a dirt floor and vents to the outdoors. A number of years ago, the homeowners hired someone to insulate the crawl space. Insulation was installed on all of the surfaces and covered with plastic. When the homeowners checked the condition of the crawl space in the early summer, they discovered that the insulation was moldy and falling down, the vents were rotted (allowing access to the house by critters of all sizes), and the space had very high humidity. The homeowners couldn't call us fast enough!

A full encapsulation of the crawl space was a necessity. CleanSpace was installed on top of the dirt floor to prevent moisture from seeping through. The SilverGlo panels were placed on the wall to act as a radiant barrier. Lastly, a SaniDry dehumidifier was installed to keep humidity below 55%. Now, with this full crawl space encapsulation and a SaniDry dehumidifier installed by our company, the homeowners now have a clean, dry, critter-free space under their bedroom!
