Before & After Photos

This homeowner in Mansfield, CT called us out to their home for a Home Energy Evaluation, because their home was drafty, they had cold floors and high energy bills. We noticed there was old dirty, and inefficient fiberglass Insulation in the attic. We also noticed there was air leaks at the top of the home because the attic was poorly insulated. This homeowner had can lights where the lights are installed into the ceiling and air can leak out.

 We took, removed and disposed of the old ineffective insulation, we bagged it up and vacuumed the attic. Now that the attics clean, we properly air sealed it. We sealed around holes, gaps and joints between drywall and framing at the top of walls, around pipes, wires, and duct work. We installed can light covers, fitted around wires and fixture struts and air sealed tight with expanding foam. The covers protect the home from fire hazards from hot bulbs and fixtures. We then installed our blown- in Trusoft Cellulose insulation. This will fill in all odd-shaped gaps and voids in the attic!

Thanks to Dr. Energy Saver this home is more comfortable and energy efficient!

When our Newington, CT customer called Fogarty's Home Services to report cold temperatures and drafts in her home, we were happy to help. One of the solutions we provided our to our customer was air sealing and insulating the interior wall that is exposed to the hot & cold hostile temperatures in her attic. Fogarty's Home Services installed SilverGlo™, an expanded polystyrene foam insulation board with graphite infused into the foam, on that interior wall. This gives it a 24% higher insulation value per inch than standard EPS foam. It also has a shiny radiant barrier to reflect heat as well, so the insulation isn't doing all the work itself. Now our happy customer will feel the results - more comfortable rooms that are easier to heat and cool, and lower energy bills. "We Fix Uncomfortable Homes!"

This homeowner in Holyoke, MA called us hoping we would be able to help him with radon mitigation. We had already scheduled a project at his home to insulate his basement, and he wanted us to be able to add on a radon mitigation system as well. He had utilized a short term radon test kit, and his radon level came out to be 15 pCi/L. This is much higher than the EPA's recommended radon action level of 4 pCi/L. He stated that he wanted his radon exposure mitigated for his family's health. 

We were able to help this customer. We installed a passive radon mitigation system in his home. Once the ideal space for the system was located, our radon mitigation technician was able to install it. He first started by drilling a hole into the concrete slab in the basement. Once the core had been removed, the radon technician installed a pipe and secured it. He also installed a manometer - which measures the pressure of the radon in the system. This is the indicator of whether or not the radon system is functioning correctly. He then drilled a hole for the exterior penetration and installed pipes for that as well. He then went to the outside of the home, installing the fan. The technician then sealed all cracks, gaps, and around the holes drilled for the system. After a quick test of the system, our radon technician was done and the homeowner was happy! Now he has a brand new mitigation system that will keep his radon levels low and his family safe.

This homeowner called us hoping to be able to help him with his home. He had recently tested his home using a short term radon test kit, and the radon level came back at 4.1 pCi/L. This is over the EPA's recommended Radon Action Level of 4 pCi/L. He was hoping to mitigate his radon exposure for the health and safety of himself and his family. He wanted a mitigation solution that would match his needs.

This homeowner called us hoping to be able to help him with her home. She had tested her home's radon levels several times, and the tests all came out to 15 to 18 pCi/L. This is considered very high -- much higher than the EPA's recommended Radon Action Level of 4 pCi/L. She wanted her radon exposure lowered as soon as possible.
