In this Wall, NJ home, the attic was under-insulated and full of air leaks, allowing heat to escape in the winter and enter in the summer. This led to drafts, cold floors, uneven temperatures, and higher energy bills. Our team first air sealed all gaps, cracks, and penetrations with foam sealant. We then addressed leaky ducts, connections, and recessed lighting, sealing those areas as well. After installing proper ventilation with vent baffles, we brought the attic up to an R-60 level with blown-in cellulose insulation. The result is a tighter, more efficient home with improved comfort, fewer drafts, and lower heating and cooling costs.
This customers attic was sweating! After he installed his own insulation, he compromised the attics ventilation system. Without fresh air being able to properly cycle through your attic, it will become humid and moisture will start to form on the framing and insulation in the attic. He called in the professionals to come clean up the mess. Dr. Energy Saver's team was able to correct the ventilation issues and saved this homeowners roof and insulation from rotting due to moisture.
This house in Sea Girt, NJ's lack of insulation in the attic was not keeping the customers heated or cooled air inside of the home. Allowing this air to escape your home means you are spending more money to heat and cool than you should, and tyou are not as comfortable as you could be in your home! You can see the difference after adding 11" of cellulose, how it looks like a warm wool blanket pulled over the top of the house. With no cracks or gaps for the air to go, it is forced to remain in the house. Simply upgrading your insulation can yield amazing results in both comfort in the home, and savings on energy costs.
We are in Sea Girt, NJ with a homeowner who contacted us about an uncomfortable, cold and drafty house. When our team inspected the owner’s attic we saw old fiberglass insulation, gaps or open soffits, leaky ducts and inadequate insulation.
To solve our customers issues we spray foamed the leaky ducts and installed our SilverGlo insulation panels over the metal ductwork. This prevents any heat radiating off the metal ducts and eliminates any leaky ducts. Once our team spray foams the rim joists we then use our orange ZypFoam sealant to air seal all the seams, gaps and open soffits or holes. We build dams with wooden planks to contain our TruSoft Cellulose insulation. Finally, our team blows-in our TruSoft Cellulose insulation and then uses our orange ZypFoam sealant to seal any seams on the attic decking.
Our customer now enjoys a clean attic with a catwalk that can be used for storage. With the proper insulation and techniques from our team, we have eliminated any drafts or uncomfortable rooms in the owners house.
The homeowner in Sea Girt, NJ, experienced comfort issues on the second floor. Upon conducting a free inspection, we discovered that the attic was in poor condition. Our team took action by air sealing the attic using ZypFoam sealant, sealing and encapsulating leaky ducts, installing can light covers to seal the can lights, adding SiverGlo rigid foam boards to insulate adjoining walls, properly incorporating baffle vents for ventilation, and blowing in TruSoft cellulose insulation to achieve an R-60 value. These measures significantly enhanced the home's comfort and energy efficiency for the homeowner.
