Attic Insulation Before & After Photos

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%! 

When we arrived in this attic, leaking air and heat moved easily between the living space and the attic at every recessed light location. Without a cover, air flowed freely around holes in the can and through the edges of the drywall opening. Our solution was to install a special noncombustible cover around the “can” and then add extra insulation. Because of this insulation and air sealing, the house will stay warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer.

The owners of this home used to waste hundreds of dollars on heating and cooling every year because their home has too little attic insulation and too much air leakage into the attic space. The owners soon realized that they had a problem and contacted Dr. Energy Saver or Connecticut. 

We quickly diagnosed the problem and realized the insulation needed to be replaced. We installed the SuperAttic system, which utilizes SilverGlo rigid foam insulation. These panels create a continuous air and insulation barrier directly beneath the attic roof, with no thermal bridging to compromise energy performance. With the SuperAttic system, roof ventilation is maintained without allowing exterior air to enter the attic space. As an added benefit, SilverGlo insulation panels include an integral radiant barrier that further reduces heating and cooling costs. With the SuperAttic insulation installed, these homeowners were pleased to find they saved on energy costs and had a home that now stayed warm during the winter!

Before, this Bloomfield homeowner had little insulation in his attic, which caused major discomfort. The rooms in his home had uneven temperatures and his electric bill was consistently high every month. He wanted to make his home energy efficient, so he contacted the professionals at Dr. Energy Saver of CT to help make that possible. 

After one of the professionals at Dr. Energy Save of Connecticut visited the owner's home and deliberated with the owner, they decided to seal the entire attic and install blown in cellulose. By air sealing the attic, you are preventing any unwanted air from flowing freely through the attic that would otherwise waste the heated/cooled air you pay for. Once air sealed, blown cellulose insulation was installed along with wood dams to create a walkway for service and storage convenience. This type of insulation is superior because it provides a high R-value of R-60 while also being safe and environmentally friendly. After installation, the homeowner noticed a difference with a more reasonable electric bill and that the rooms had even temperatures throughout the home. This is exactly what he wanted and he was happy that he trusted the experts at Dr. Energy Saver of CT.
