Insulating an Attic in Pittsfield, MA

This homeowner in Pittsfield, MA called us when he moved into his home. He was hoping to catch any potential issues with home comfort before they actually became an issue. 

When our Home Comfort Specialist arrived at the home, he noted that this homeowner had blown-in fiberglass insulation. Fiberglass is ineffective -- it does not stop air flow. It is both mold food and perfect nesting material for rodents. So, the homeowner wanted it removed. We vacuumed it out and disposed of it. We were then able to completely air seal the attic, and installed baffles in each rafter bay to keep the soffit vents clear. Then, we utilized our TruSoft™ blown in cellulose. TruSoft™ is 85% recycled material that mold doesn't grow on. Pests don't like to nest in it due to the chemicals it is treated with. This new insulation will keep this homeowner's home comfortable for years to come!
