Before & After Photos

Before, this New Haven attic had insufficient insulation, causing uneven temperatures throughout the home and higher energy bills. Wanting a more energy efficient home, the homeowner contacted the experts at Dr. Energy Saver of Connecticut.  

Now, the attic is completely insulated with SilverGlo. SilverGlo was the perfect solution for this attic because this insulation is durable, waterproof, and won’t shrink or lose R-value over time! Also, it has a layer of radiant barrier to reflect summer heat out and keep heat during the winter in. This is exactly what the homeowner wanted and they were very pleased with the results – an energy efficient home with lower energy bills! 

This Burlington attic was uninsulated and causing discomfort for the homeowners. They were concerned with their home’s energy efficiency and were paying a high monthly electric bill. Wanting to find a solution to their energy efficiency problems, they decided to call the experts at Dr. Energy Saver of CT. 

The solution for this attic was to install cellulose insulation. Cellulose insulation is the superior choice for attics because it is effective, safe and environmentally friendly. It is effective because it offers a superior R-value than traditional fiberglass batts and increases the efficiency of a home. This product is also treated with a non-toxic borate solution that gives the material a Class-1 fire safety rating. Cellulose is a “green” product that is primarily made from recycled newspaper. With all these benefits, this product was the perfect solution for these homeowners. Now, they enjoy an energy efficient home without paying a high energy bill every month! 

Multi-level attics can cause homes to be especially drafty if not insulated properly. When one room has a higher ceiling than another, it leaves a short area completely exposed in the attic. Fiberglass batts can’t stop the air flow. This major air leak was causing high energy bills and a drafty house. To solve this problem, we installed SilverGlo insulation in place of the fiberglass and sealed it with expanding foam. As a result, the adjacent rooms in the home were significantly warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer, and the house was less drafty and more comfortable overall. 

Exposed and leaky air ducts can be a huge source of energy loss in the home. It doesn't take long for a hot summer attic to warm up the cool, conditioned air in the ducts – air that the homeowner paid to cool! To make the heating and cooling system more efficient and less costly, we insulated the ductwork with our Spray Foam insulation and TruSoft blown cellulose. Blown Cellulose exceeds the insulation value of fiberglass, with R-values as high as R-4 per inch because it perfecly fills all the nooks within wall cavities and around duct work. And unlike fiberglass insulation, which can't stop air movement, Spray Foam insulation is effective in slowing or stopping air leaks that can waste energy and cause cold drafts. 

This attic in North Haven, CT was primarily used as a storage area, but the existing insulation made it unsuitable for storing items because of the temperature fluctuations. After speaking with Sales Consultant, Keith Saunders, these homeowners were ready to start the insulating and air-sealing process. Foreman, Jony Fernandez, and his team began by removing all the existing insulation and installing the complete Attic SuperDeck for the homeowners to walk around and store items in their attic. Then, our team completely air-sealed the attic and blew in our TruSoft Cellulose insulation which significantly improved the temperature control and energy efficiency of the space. The attic became more comfortable and suitable for storing items without the risk of damage from extreme temperatures!
