A homeowner in Southington was looking to have their attic insulated properly so they called us at Dr. Energy Saver of CT. One of our Sales Consultants, Mike Bourdeau, went out to the home to assess the attic and provide a solution to make their home energy efficient.
One of our Foremen, Rudy Abel, and his crew would install this job. They created an insulated storage deck with retention dams to have a place for the insulation to go. Then they blew in our TruSoft cellulose insulation throughout the entire attic. This will act as a thermal barrier to the home and keep the temperature regulated throughout the home. Now this homeowner will be happy knowing their home is energy efficient!
This customer in Branford, CT had old insulation in their attic and called us at Dr. Energy Saver of CT to make a change. One of our Sales Representatives, Mike Bourdeau, drove out to the home to understand the issues. He informed the homeowner that they would need to reinsulate the attic. Then, one of our foremen, Rudy Abel, and his crew went out to work on the job. They removed the old insulation and then blew in our TruSoft Cellulose insulation. This would act as a thermal barrier to the home. Now this homeowner has an energy-efficient home and will see their energy bill decrease!
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!
