Dave Hoh's Home Comfort & Energy Experts Before & After Photos

While inspecting this home in Little Silver, NJ, we discovered that the attic was not properly air-sealed, and the supply and return ducts were leaking conditioned air. Additionally, the existing insulation was inadequate to effectively insulate the attic and the home. To address these issues, we encapsulated and sealed the ducts using SilverGlo foam boards to eliminate air leaks and to protect them from the summer heat. Next, we air-sealed the attic floor and constructed wooden retaining walls to contain blown-in TruSoft cellulose insulation to R-60. We also created catwalks for easy access to the mechanicals. As a result, this homeowner now enjoys a more comfortable home with improved energy efficiency.

In Little Silver, NJ, a homeowner was dealing with poor attic insulation that led to discomfort, energy waste, and unusable storage space. We solved the problem by installing a SuperAttic system, which moves the insulation barrier to the roofline, creating a more stable, conditioned attic environment. This upgrade not only made the space suitable for storage but also improved comfort throughout the home and lowered energy bills through better insulation and ventilation.

This customer was feeling cold in her bedroom because a  kneewall that borders the attic space was allowing a lot of cold air to move into the room because the wall was not properly air sealed or insulated. A large cavity next to the building support also allowed a lot of cool air to freely move through the attic from below. By insulating the kneewall with 2" reflective radiant barrier foam board, Dr. Energy Saver was able to keep the cold air out of the customer's bedroom. Sealing off the cavity with foam board as well slowed the movement of air through the attic dramatically.

This attic kneewall was leaking a considerable amount of air into this customer's home in Red Bank, NJ due to a lack of insulation.  In order to stop this problem, Dr. Energy Saver sheathed the wall in 2" polyisocyanurate foam board and sealed it with expanding spray foam to create an air-sealed barrier between the attic and the inside of the house.  This fix has left the homeowner feeling more comfortable and happy about saving money on his energy bills for the rest of the time he owns the house.

A homeowner in Red Bank, NJ complained their rooms were uncomfortably hot and too cold. When inspecting their home we found the attic Kneewall had cold air entering through leaky fascia/soffit assemblies or through soffit vents. We also have hot air radiating off the roof making the attic even hotter during the summers.

To solve this issue we spray foam the attics rim joists to eliminate outside air from leaking into the attic. Next our SilverGlo foam insulation is installed under the rafters up the Kneewall and sealed at the seams with our orange ZypFoam sealant. Our SilverGlo foam insulation has graphite infused into the foam, which increases the R-value by 24% compared to regular EPS foam. In addition, our SilverGlo foam insulation has a reflective radiant barrier on both sides to reflect roof heat out during the summer and house heat back in during the winter.

Our customer now enjoys a significantly warmer house in the winter, a cooler house in the hot weather, kneewall storage space and lower fuel/electric bills.
