Duct Encapsulation in Attic in Bolton, CT

These homeowners in Bolton, CT were having a difficult time keeping their home comfortable. They have their heating and cooling system running through the attic, which, being an unconditioned space, is prone to extreme temperatures. Given those extremes, the system has to work harder to keep the air running through the ducts at the desired temperature despite the air around it.

We used our Tight n' True Duct encapsulation system to insulate the ducts. We started with our SilverGlo insulation board on the top side of the ducts. SilverGlo is a graphite infused EPS foam board with a radiant barrier, doing double the work to stop the transfer of heat. We then spray 1 inch of closed cell spray foam insulation on the sides of the ducts. The bottom of the ducts can't be sprayed, however, once we blow our TruSoft cellulose in the attic, covering much of the duct, the space will be buried. 

Thanks to Dr. Energy Saver by Eco Energy Solutions, the heating system doesn't have to work nearly as hard to keep the home comfortable, lowering energy costs.
