Blown-in Cellulose in Glastonbury, CT

Before we came to this Glastonbury attic, there were cracks and air leaks under all of the fiberglass insulation. This was allowing unwanted air flow through the attic and home, causing uneven temperatures which resulted in high electric bills. Wanting a solution, these Glastonbury homeowners gave Dr. Energy of Connecticut a call. Our Design Specialist, Keith Saunders, came to the house for a Full Home Energy Evaluation. He concluded that the home would need to be completely air sealed to solve the air leakage problem. Then, blown-in cellulose would be implemented to ensure home efficiency and comfort, where it offers a superior R-value compared to traditional fiberglass batts. With a plan set, David Hicks and his team came to air seal the attic and install the blown-in cellulose. With an upgraded attic, the homeowners could not be happier with a home that now has even temperatures and a lower energy bill! 

Crawlspace Encapsulation in Glastonbury, CT

A crawl space under this Glastonbury, CT’s first-floor bedroom was created when the original owners of the house put on an addition. The space had a dirt floor and vents to the outdoors. A number of years ago, the homeowners hired someone to insulate the crawl space. Insulation was installed on all of the surfaces and covered with plastic. When the homeowners checked the condition of the crawl space in the early summer, they discovered that the insulation was moldy and falling down, the vents were rotted (allowing access to the house by critters of all sizes), and the space had very high humidity. The homeowners couldn't call us fast enough!

A full encapsulation of the crawl space was a necessity. CleanSpace was installed on top of the dirt floor to prevent moisture from seeping through. The SilverGlo panels were placed on the wall to act as a radiant barrier. Lastly, a SaniDry dehumidifier was installed to keep humidity below 55%. Now, with this full crawl space encapsulation and a SaniDry dehumidifier installed by our company, the homeowners now have a clean, dry, critter-free space under their bedroom!

Crawl Space Insulation in South Lyme, CT

This South Lyme, CT crawl space was run down, and its lack of insulation was causing uncomfortable temperatures in the rest of the home. Despite its large size, the area was also dirty and could not be used as a proper storage space. Wanting to make use of the space and improve the comfort of his home, the homeowner did some online research and decided to schedule an appointment with the experts at Dr. Energy Saver of CT.

Soon after, sales representative Taz Peterson arrived to inspect the home. Taz quickly identified the problems in the crawl space and shared his findings with the homeowner. Together, they discussed some possible solutions and found the best fit for the homeowner. 

On the first day of production, foreman Rudy Abel arrived with his crew to begin the project. First, they insulated the home's rim joist, which would prevent crawl space air from leaking into the rest of the home. Next, the team installed CleanSpace liner, which acts as a moisture barrier and covers up the dirty crawl space floor below. Finally, they lined the walls with SilverGlo insulation, which includes a built-in reflective barrier. When the team was done, the crawl space had been transformed from a cluttered, uncomfortable crawl space into a neatly lined and well insulated area. The homeowner was more than satisfied with the results, excited that this project had provided him with a more energy efficient home, as well as some valuable storage space, all in one. 

Blown Cellulose Insulation in New London, CT

This customer was burning huge amounts of oil every winter, and they were still uncomfortable. In the summer with the air conditioner running, the bedrooms were hot and the electric bills were high. Dr. Energy Saver of Connecticut offered several solutions for this homeowner.  We wrapped the masonry chimney with Rockwool insulation and covered and sealed the can light fixtures with our fire-retardant TiteShell light can covers to stop air leakage. For this customer, attic storage access was important, so we installed our insulated SuperDeck to ensure that every portion of their attic would be energy efficient. Finally, we built cellulose dams and filled them with the spray foam cellulose insulation to complete this attic upgrade.
