Before & After Photos

This home in Charles Town WV was designed with several cantilevers.  A cantilever ("a long projecting beam or girder fixed at only one end") is part of the home that hangs out from the walls of the home.  The cantilevers of this home were uninsulated and therefore allowed the outside temperature to impact the air and comfort of the inside rooms connected.  Our Home Performance Sales Pro Greg determined that the use of spray foam to insulate the cantilever would help solve this problem.  The lower cover of the cantilever was removed by our production crew and then spray foam was used to fill in the hollow space inside.  

Homeowners in Boston, Va have a farm and wanted to insulate the walls in their barn. One of our evaluators, Pedro, determined that closed cell spray foam would do the best job at insulating this space. Closed cell spray foam adheres to all surfaces, expands in place, and air cannot pass through it. It has an R value of 6.3 per inch and with it's ability to stop air flow, it is superior insulation. One inch of closed cell foam sprayed in place is worth many inches of other insulation materials. This is why spray foam is used in most "zero energy" homes. 

This Boston, VA homeowner had issues staying warm in the winter and cool in the summer. A FREE comfort evaluation by Comfenergy revealed, among other things, an HVAC ducting system located in the attic that was both leaky and not insulated.  The hot air was leaking into the attic in the winter. The cold air was becoming re-heated in the summer. Not only was this causing discomfort, but it was making their utility bills go literally through the roof!!

Comfenergy encapsulated the attic ducting system to seal it from those air leaks. This keeps all of their air in the home!  It also insulates the air travelling through the ducting system so that it comes out of the vents at the right temperature to stay comfortable.

This crawl space in Delaplane, VA was encapsulated using closed cell spray foam.  This was done to make the floors above the crawl space warmer in the winter.

This Amissville, VA homeowner was looking to lower their utility bills this coming winter.  This before and after pic shows how we removed/disposed of the old fiberglass batt insulation.  Then, newly blown TruSoft cellulose insulation was installed. This cellulose insulation is more densely packed and does a better job at insulating a home than fiberglass due to its quality and ability to reach a high R-value.
