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

A customer in Toms River, NJ, had a poorly insulated, vented crawl space. This type of crawl space allows outside air to enter, leading to temperature fluctuations in the home and the risk of mold due to condensation. By sealing the vents and walls with SilverGlo foam boards, spray foaming the rim joists, and installing a vapor barrier on the floor, we can resolve these issues and improve the home's comfort.

A homeowner in Toms River, NJ, was struggling with year-round comfort issues, with a drafty home in winter and excessive warmth in summer. During our free home evaluation, we identified several problems in the attic, including insufficient insulation, leaky ducts, inadequate air sealing, and a lack of baffle vents for proper ventilation. To resolve these issues, we air-sealed the attic, repaired the ducts, installed baffle vents, and upgraded the insulation with TruSoft cellulose to an optimal R-60 value. Now, the home is both significantly more comfortable and energy-efficient.

This homeowner in Toms River, NJ, had inadequate insulation, uninsulated, leaky ducts, and an unsealed attic, resulting in discomfort and higher energy bills. To address these issues, we encapsulated the ducts with SilverGlo foam boards and air-sealed the attic. With the attic and ducts properly sealed, we draft-blocked part of the decking to create storage for the homeowner while sealing the rest. Finally, we blew in TruSoft cellulose insulation to achieve the optimal R-60 value, making their home more comfortable, energy-efficient, and healthier.

During our free home evaluation in Toms River, NJ, we examined the attic of a ranch-style home. The attic lacked proper air sealing, had insulation gaps, and insufficient insulation, leading to cold drafts in winter and uncomfortably warm rooms in summer, along with higher energy bills. To address these issues, we sealed the attic floor and installed cellulose insulation to achieve an optimal R-value of R-60. This comprehensive upgrade ensures better insulation, significantly enhancing comfort and energy efficiency for the homeowner.

Everyone needs access to their attic, but poorly insulated attic pull-down stairs, like in this Toms River, NJ home, can lead to significant conditioned air loss. This means the homeowner is wasting money to condition unused attic space. At Dave Hoh’s Home Comfort & Energy Experts, we address this issue by reinforcing the frame with additional wood and air-sealing the seams with ZypFoam. We then install weather stripping and the David Lewis Hatch Cover, a radiant foam barrier made from SilverGlo foam insulation. This material, infused with graphite, increases insulation value by 24% compared to standard EPS foam. The radiant barrier reflects heat back in winter and out in summer, reducing the workload on the insulation. By installing the airtight David Lewis Hatch Cover, homeowners will have a more comfortable, energy-efficient home with lower energy bills.
