Attic Insulation Photo Album: Air Sealing in Glastonbury, CT

The owners of this Glastonbury, CT home were experiencing drafts in their attic that led to energy deficiency which compromised the comfort of their home. The homeowners were concerned about their rising heating costs, so, called upon the experts at Dr. Energy Saver of Connecticut. Our team was happy to come to the rescue! In starting this project, the DES CT specialists removed all the old insulation in the attic. This removal allows a clean slate for the team to work with and detect any gaps in which air can flow through. Then we begin our sealing process to ensure the attic is air tight and draft free. Once we are confident, we have created an air tight space; Blown Cellulose insulation is installed through out the attic. The Blown Cellulose creates a thermal barrier restoring energy efficiency to the home. Browse through our photo gallery to see how air sealing and Blown Cellulose was the perfect solution for this home!
