This home in Greenwich, CT had old insulation that just wasn't doing the job. It was causing the owner's energy bills to rise, and their home was cold when it should've been warm! They gave us a call at Dr. Energy Saver of Connecticut, and we were happy to come out, and see what we could do to solve the problem!
Our Home Comfort Specialist, Keith Saunders, surveyed the space, and quickly realized what needed to be done. He called on Dan Kiley, and he came out to install new insulation in the home. After removing all of the old insulation, Dan and his comfort crew installed our closed cell spray foam. This two part foam has a high R-value per inch, seals any air leaks, forms a moisture barrier, and absorbs sound. It works so well that it cut this family's energy bills in half!

These Riverside, CT homeowners reported incredibly cold floors in the second floor of their home where the second level cantilevers slightly over the first. We sent one of our most knowledgeable home comfort experts Keith Saunders to the home in order to see what to do with the issue. The reason why this cantilever was allowing to much heat out of the home was because it had a layer of rigid foam insulation that was not air sealed, so it was allowing heated air to escape.
Keith recommended we install sprayable foam insulation between the floor joists that are cantilevering outward. This was done by our crew lead by Rudy Abel. They removed the siding underneath to expose the cavities then installed three inches of the foam to reach an R-value of about R-12. The closed cell foam expanded to fill all the gaps in the floor joists which will prevent heated air from escaping through this access point again.
The homeowners noticed right away the floors on the second floor were not nearly as cold as they had been in past winters! They continued to have additional insulation installed in their attic by Dr. Energy Saver of Connecticut.
A homeowner located in Stamford, CT expressed interest in improving his crawlspace's insulation. With old fiberglass insulation hanging from the subfloor and floor joists, the homeowner expressed issues with cold floors during winter months. To remedy his concerns, he reached out to the experts at Dr. Energy Saver for assistance.
Upon calling, the homeowner made contact with Jimmy Stablein, scheduling a free in-home consultation. Shortly after, Stablein arrived at the home, mapping out the crawlspace and offering potential solutions. Following his visit, Stablein assembled a proposal documenting his suggestions for how to improve the crawlspace's insulation situation.
Ultimately, the homeowner landed on spray foam insulation. Offering better insulation properties, spray foam insulation features a better R-value (measure of the effectiveness of insulation) than traditional fiberglass insulation and fills gaps and cracks by expanding into areas it's sprayed.
Shortly after, Foreman Jony Fernandez and his team arrived on-site to begin the installation process. After a quick install, the crawl space was returned to the homeowner with better insulation properties! The homeowner no longer has to worry about chilly floors in the winter.
This Brewster basement had traditional fiberglass insulation that was poorly installed and causing temperature fluctuations within the home as well as higher energy bills! The homeowner wanted a solution to control the drafts and unwanted airflow in their basement, so they decided to call Dr. Energy Saver of CT!
The experts at Dr. Energy Saver of CT determined that the most effective solution for this basement was to install spray foam insulation on the ceiling. Spray foam was the best option for this home because it effectively fills voids and odd-shaped spaces and will not absorb moisture or lose R-value over time, unlike traditional fiberglass insulation. This product will stop air leakage and heat loss, effectively saving the homeowners money on their fuel and energy bills!
Now that their basement ceiling is completely insulated with spray foam, these happy homeowners enjoy consistent temperatures throughout the home and a lower electric bill!

Before, this Wilton basement was under-insulated and had a lot of moisture entry, which made the area damp and uncomfortable. The homeowner needed some help, so she decided to call the experts at Dr. Energy Saver of CT to help her find a solution.
The solution for this basement was to install SilverGlo panels on the walls and TerraBlock insulation on the floors to seal out unwanted drafts and water leakage. Then, we installed our patented CleanSpace crawl space liner over top of the TerraBlock to act as a barrier against moisture entry, musty odors and mold growth.
Once the project was completed, the homeowner was completely thrilled with her more energy efficient and aesthetically pleasing basement!
