Attic Insulation Before & After Photos

When we arrived in this Glastonbury attic, we found that the existing fiberglass insulation wasn’t keeping warm air from escaping the house in the winter. This unnecessarily drove up heating costs for the homeowners. We removed the ineffective blown fiberglass and fiberglass batts so that we could air seal all of the gaps, seams and holes with expanding polyurethane foam. This sealed off the air flow between the attic and the rest of the house in order to keep the heated air where it belongs. Next we built dams and blew in our TruSoft cellulose insulation. Treated with natural borate compounds, blown cellulose insulation won't catch fire and it discourages the presence of insects, rodents and mold. We insulated the walkway with a layer of 4” SilverGlo, topped with flakeboard.  After their attic insulation upgrade, these owners were able to stay more comfortable in the cold weather while seeing a decrease in their energy bills!

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!
