Home Insulation Before & After Photos

This Farmington, Connecticut home had an attic that wasn't properly insulated. The ducts weren't insulated either and this allowed unconditioned, moist, and dusty air to be distributed throughout the home. The homeowners wanted an attic that was energy efficient and provided storage space. They gave us a call here at Dr. Energy Saver of Connecticut to come and give their attic the upgrade it needed! We installed our blown insulation throughout the floor and left some space open for storage, as per the homeowners request. Our blown insulation provides thorough coverage and is a quick installation.

The owner's of this Guilford, CT home were in desperate need of new insulation in their home. Their old fiberglass insulation just wasn't cutting it anymore, and was beginning to fall off the walls of the attic. They gave us a call at Dr. Energy Saver of Connecticut, and we were happy to come out, and give them some help!

After removing all of the old insulation from their roof, our expert foreman, Ken Hartsburg, came out with his team, and began to get to work. They quickly installed our closed cell spray foam all over the roof of this colonial home. This type of insulation adds strength to framing and sheathing, and seals off any air filtration, forming a moisture barrier. It cures dense and hard just minutes after application, and while our team does wear special equipment during installation, it is completely safe for both families and pets after installed. 

We left this family knowing they would have smaller energy bills, and a more comfortable home! Call us today for your FREE energy evaluation!

One of the most important steps to an attic insulation job is to air seal the attic with expanding polyurethane foam. After that, we can put in the right insulation for the job, which in this case was blown cellulose insulation. Our TruSoft cellulose insulation offers an affordable and effective way to upgrade attic insulation. The homeowners noticed immediate improvements in the comfort and energy costs of the home! 

This customer was burning huge amounts of oil every winter, and they were still uncomfortable. In the summer with the air conditioner running, the bedrooms were hot and the electric bills were high. Dr. Energy Saver of Connecticut offered several solutions for this homeowner.  We wrapped the masonry chimney with Rockwool insulation and covered and sealed the can light fixtures with our fire-retardant TiteShell light can covers to stop air leakage. For this customer, attic storage access was important, so we installed our insulated SuperDeck to ensure that every portion of their attic would be energy efficient. Finally, we built cellulose dams and filled them with the spray foam cellulose insulation to complete this attic upgrade. 

This Ellington, CT home had a cantilever floor, which sticks out past the wall below it. Oftentimes when a home like this is constructed, the underside of the upper level floor is exposed to exterior temperatures, radiating uncomfortable temperatures into the home. The existing fiberglass insulation was a cheap fix to the problem because they did nothing to seal off the thermal bridge and had several air gaps allowing conditioned air out of the house. To repair this and insulate the house, we first removed the soffit boards. A silverGlo rigid foam insualtion block is installed in the bay to stop the thermal bridge between the second level floor and the exposed exterior wall. Next, polyurethane foam is sprayed around the block and the area above it. This ensures an airtight seal that's waterproof and will last for years to come! The results are increased comfort, less drafts, and lower energy costs!
