Increasing Energy Efficiency in Windsor, CT

This homeowner in Windsor, CT called us out to their home to update their insulation and increase overall energy efficiency. We noticed they did not have much insulation in the basement. Along the rim joists around the perimeter of the home in the basement, a lot of air is able to escape out of and enter the home. Since the cold, concrete walls of the basement are buried in the ground they tend to be about 17° cooler than than your home should be. In the summer this allows warm, humid air into your basement, hitting the cold concrete walls. This will cause condensation, supporting mold.  

We got right to the home, prepped and protected the customers belongings and got to work. First,we install our Foamax insulation boards along the concrete walls. Now, we install our spray foam insulation around the perimeter of the home on the rim joist. Since it expands, it fills in all gaps, cracks and joints air was able to leak into the home before.

Thanks to Dr. Energy Saver, these homeowners are more comfortable, happy, and more energy efficient in their homes!

Insulating an Attic in Windsor, CT

This homeowner in Windsor, CT called us hoping we would be able to help him with his insulation. His home was very temperature sensitive, and it was clear that the attic insulation was not doing its job. 

 

We had the perfect solution for this customer. This solution has three parts. 

 

The first part is the removal of the insulation. We bagged and removed the fiberglass batt insulation that was inside the attic. To finish off that step, we vacuumed up any loose pieces that were still on the attic floor to provide a clean and fresh workspace. After that, we began the second step -- air sealing. We used Zypfoam™ one part spray foam to air seal. This seals all cracks and crevices in the attic floor. We then used a long hose attached to a machine that blows our TruSoft™ cellulose insulation into the attic. TruSoft™ cellulose is able to fill all gaps and odd-shaped voids, as it is blown in insulation.

 

Now, this homeowner will have a much more comfortable home!

Insulating a Basement in East Hartford, CT

This homeowner in East Hartford, CT called us hoping that we would be able to help her finish her basement. They had a partially finished basement that they wanted redone, which included demolishing the old basement. Before we were able to finish the basement, however, we first had to insulate it. 

 

After removing the fiberglass insulation they had in the home,  we re-insulated using two-part spray foam. This spray foam was applied in the rim joist, which is the perimeter of the floor framing system along the exterior of the house. We also applied Foamax foam insulation board to the walls of the basement, providing more insulation. Now, this basement is more comfortable than ever, and the homeowner can begin the process of having the basement of their dreams!
