Before & After Photos

This attic in Stratford, CT wasn't properly insulated. The existing insulation had little to no R-Value, the insulation was scattered and was not doing any good for the homes energy efficiency. Having a home that has an attic with poorly preforming insulation can run your monthly utility bills up a pretty penny. This homeowner wanted a space that could be used for storage but was also energy efficient and provided enough insulation for their family to live comfortably in the rooms below. We installed blown-in insulation over most of the attic, raising the R Value up to R60 from the previous next to nothing value it had before. Blown in insulation offers more uniform and thorough coverage than typical fiberglass batts. We also built an insulated catwalk using particle board and rigid foam insulation with retaining dams to keep the storage area clean of blown cellulose. This room is much more attractive looking and doubles as a storage haven and will now be one of the most energy efficient rooms in the house! This homeowner couldn't be happier with their new space!

The old-fashioned way to insulate a crawlspace was to install fiberglass batt insulation between the joists, and to vent the crawl space so that outside air could circulate beneath the house. Unfortunately, Fiberglass insulation doesn’t respond well to the moist conditions that can be found in this area of the home. The cotton-like material absorbs moisture, compresses or sags, and loses R-value like it did in this home. The Dr. Energy Saver of Connecticut team insulated the crawlspace walls using spray foam, and we installed insulation and our CleanSpace vapor barrier on the floor. This home is now more energy efficient and comfortable with a clean and properly insulated crawl space.   

The owners of this home wanted better attic insulation and having room for storage was a huge priority. To accomodate their needs, we installed an insulated deck. Beneath the wood is our SilverGlo rigid insulation. Unlike fiberglass batts, which can compress, lose R-value and even fall out of place, rigid foam stays put once it's installed. It creates a flat, smooth barrier that retains its original R-value forever! When the joints between foam panels are sealed correctly, rigid foam acts as an air and thermal barrier. Afterwards, blown cellulose was installed everywhere outside the retention damns. With our innovative insulation products, we were able to save these homeowners money on their monthly energy costs!

Before, this Derby basement had an inefficient door and uninsulated rim joists that were causing an uncomfortable and drafty area. This not only affected the basement area, but also caused cold floors in the main rooms above! Wanting a solution, the homeowner decided to contact the experts at Dr. Energy Saver of CT to help come up with the perfect solution for her home. 

The solution for this home was to apply spray foam insulation around the rim joists of the basement. (the yellow foam above the walls as you can see in the after photo) This insulation will prevent air and moisture from coming through. This will help warm up the floor in the main rooms of the house while also keeping the basement well insulated. Another problem area was the door, which as you can see in the before photo, had tape around the trim to prevent a draft. The solution was to replace it with a door that correctly fit, leaving little space for any unwanted air to flow through. This is exactly what the homeowner wanted and they were thrilled with the results! 

This Ansonia attic was poorly insulated, causing uneven temperatures and an uncomfortable home. The homeowner was tired of high electric bills due to the inefficiency of his insulation, so he decided to give the experts at Dr. Energy Saver of Connecticut a call to see what solutions they could provide for him.

On the day of the appointment, our home comfort advisor, Chris Grosso, arrived at the home to provide a free evaluation. He concluded that the attic was extremely under insulated and that a more effective form of insulation would need to be installed. He suggested blown cellulose. This product will create a thermal barrier that will keep the home more comfortable and energy efficient. This is exactly what the homeowner was looking for!

Rudy Abel and his production team quickly went to work and had the attic properly insulated in no time! Just look at the difference in the before and after photos! Now, this happy customer enjoys a comfortable home with a lower electric bill!
