Home Insulation Before & After Photos

When we arrived in this home, we found that air was escaping from the attic. This reduces energy efficiency, making the home drafty and uncomfortable. It was assumed the previous homeowners decided they no longer needed to use the whole house fan, so they had it "closed off" and insulated... whover completed this request did a poor job! The new owners did not want to completely negate the possibility of using of the fan, so they communicated with our home energy specialist who proposed an easy, yet effective answer to the problem. To repair this, we had to first remove the existing insulation from the dusty fan. Next, we created an insulated, airtight box around the house fan using our SilverGlo insulation and polyurethane expanding foam. Once the cover is placed on the box, air will nolonger be able to escape from the attic and the homeowners have the option of uncovering it for use at a later date. Dr. Energy Saver of Connecticut was able to provide a safer, more effective, and versatile solution to a tough problem!

The old fiberglass insulation in this Ellington, CT attic wasn't keeping up with the demands of the cold winters. It coudn't stop air from escaping out of the warm house. To repair the attic and make the house more comfortable, we had to first remove the old insulation. Next, we used polyurethane foam on any air leaks we found. This expanding foam fills every crack for an airtight seal, and also insulates! When we were finished with the air sealing, we blew cellulose into the attic. This super-green material not only insulates, but also resists combustion, insects, and mold. After this attic insulation upgrade, the owners of this home were far more comforable in their home, and saved money on heating the house as well!

This Brooklyn, CT home has old insulation that was in desperate need of replacing. The yellow fiberglass batts were starting to fall apart, and their home was beginning to lose energy. They gave us a call at Dr. Energy Saver of Connecticut, and we were happy to help! 

Our Home Energy Expert, Keith Saunders, came in, and quickly diagnosed the problem. This basement needed new insulation immediately, so he called on Dan Kiley and his team to come on out, and get this attic ready for winter! They first removed all of the old insulation before installing Trusoft Cellulose insulation on the attic gables. Compared to fiberglass insulation, TruSoft™ cellulous will not burn, become moldy or attract pests. Thanks to treatment with natural borate compounds, cellulose insulation will never catch fire. The same treatment discourages the presence of insects, rodents and mold.

This family is now much more comfortable in their home, and we are happy we were able to make a difference! Give us a call TODAY for your free energy evaluation.
