Increasing the Insulation Value Under a Home in Leverett, MA

This new homeowner in Leverett, MA wanted to make sure her home was energy efficient and ready for winter before moving in. There was a thin, brittle foam board on the underside of the home which clearly would not hold up over time or have as much insulation value as needed.

We took out the old foam boards and replaced them with our 4-inch SilverGlo foam board insulation held into place with special long screws. SilverGlo has a radiant barrier face to ensure the insulation isn't doing all the work on its own. Any seams were sealed with foam, and in this case, we also sprayed load bearing beams set below the foam boards to stop conduction to and from the home.

Thanks to Dr. Energy Saver by Eco Energy Solutions, this homeowner will have a home that will brave the winter comfortably.

Improving an Attic in Manchester, CT

This homeowner in Manchester, CT called in looking to insulate her attic, her home was not energy efficient and she was happy to be able to finally address it. The air that she was paying to heat and cool was escaping through her improperly air sealed attic.

We first removed the old insulation and debris (including a deceased bat!) from the attic. With the space cleaned up, we air sealed each and every space where air could leak from the home up into the attic. Lastly, we insulated with our blown in TruSoft cellulose.

Drafty Master Bedroom and Mudroom in Manchester, CT

This homeowner called because her 1949, Cape Style home, had been causing heat system concerns since she bought it in 2019. When the outside temperature changed, so did the inside. The homeowner had received 2 prior energy evaluations and even had some attic work done before she called us.

Our Building Science Specialists were able to identify that the drafty and uncomfortable Master Bath along with the problematic mudroom were actually caused, in large part, to the highly inefficient crawlspace below the home which had been a vented, dirt crawlspace. Dr. Energy Saver was able to the solve the problem by installing an Encapsulation System with Drainage Matting, Terra Block Floor Insulation, SilverGlo Insulation on the walls and an anti-microbial 20 mil liner, resulting in lower humidity, warmer floors, less drafts and a more comfortable house with lower fuel and electric bills.
