Bloomfield Attic Before
This is how the attic looked before. As you can see, there was little to no insulation. This was definitely the cause of the discomfort in the home.
Cracks and Openings in the Attic
With cracks and openings in the attic like this one, air is more than likely to travel through spaces that should be sealed off. The air that gets through these cracks is allowing energy that is paid for to cool and heat your home to escape. No wonder the homeowner had a high electric bill...
Air Leakage Around the Chimney
Another hot spot for air leakage can be around the chimney.
SilverGlo Insulation
SilverGlo insulation was wrapped around the chimney to prevent air leakage.
Blown Cellulose Insulation
Once the entire attic was air sealed, blown-in cellulose insulation was installed. Wooden dams were also installed to create space for a walkway and an area for storage. The difference was incredible and the homeowner noticed a marked difference immediately in both his electric bill and the overall comfort of his home.
