Before & After Photos

This attic used to be very hot in the summer and cold in the winter. It was making energy costs for the homeowner sky high. We stopped the air leaks and reduced the heating and cooling expenses by installing open-cell spray foam insulation. However, the spray foam around the fireplace could potentially heat up and cause a fire hazard. To prevent this, we wrapped the upper part of the chimney with RockWool, insulation with a melting point of 2000 degrees Fahrenheit. The owners of this home now can enjoy their fireplace and home at a fraction of the price!

This Farmington home had some major issues with air leakage from a lack of insulation. By coating the roof of this attic with open-cell spray foam, we were able to transform this drafty attic into an air-sealed, energy saving space. We lowered the heating and cooling costs in this Farmington, CT home by up to 40%! 

When we arrived in this attic, leaking air and heat moved easily between the living space and the attic at every recessed light location. Without a cover, air flowed freely around holes in the can and through the edges of the drywall opening. Our solution was to install a special noncombustible cover around the “can” and then add extra insulation. Because of this insulation and air sealing, the house will stay warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer.

The owners of this home used to waste hundreds of dollars on heating and cooling every year because their home has too little attic insulation and too much air leakage into the attic space. The owners soon realized that they had a problem and contacted Dr. Energy Saver or Connecticut. 

We quickly diagnosed the problem and realized the insulation needed to be replaced. We installed the SuperAttic system, which utilizes SilverGlo rigid foam insulation. These panels create a continuous air and insulation barrier directly beneath the attic roof, with no thermal bridging to compromise energy performance. With the SuperAttic system, roof ventilation is maintained without allowing exterior air to enter the attic space. As an added benefit, SilverGlo insulation panels include an integral radiant barrier that further reduces heating and cooling costs. With the SuperAttic insulation installed, these homeowners were pleased to find they saved on energy costs and had a home that now stayed warm during the winter!

This Farmington, Connecticut home had an attic that wasn't properly insulated. The ducts weren't insulated either and this allowed unconditioned, moist, and dusty air to be distributed throughout the home. The homeowners wanted an attic that was energy efficient and provided storage space. They gave us a call here at Dr. Energy Saver of Connecticut to come and give their attic the upgrade it needed! We installed our blown insulation throughout the floor and left some space open for storage, as per the homeowners request. Our blown insulation provides thorough coverage and is a quick installation.
