This home owner in Enfield, CT saw us at a home show and had us come take a look at some problems they where having. The problem was that in the winter, the house was always super cold! When we got to the home our building science specialist went into the attic and saw why this problem was happening. There was no insulation in the attic!
To fix this problem we installed our Super Attic treatment. First thing to do is remove any of the old insulation that was up there. Then we have to move the thermal barrier from the floor of the attic to the roof deck of the attic. To do this we use our 4 inch silverglo EPS foam board and attach it to the roof rafters. While doing this we have to make sure that we air seal in between each piece of foam board to make it air tight.
Now that Dr Energy Saver by Eco Energy Solutions has come and completed the work, this home owner can now be more comfortable in their home!

These Homeowners in Enfield, CT called us to their home because of drafty rooms. During our energy evaluation, we noticed that the insulation in their attic was old and inefficient. We also noticed many air leaks.
First we removed all of the old fiberglass insulation and properly disposed of the materials. We then vacuumed the attic and cleaned up any loose pieces of old materials. Next we installed our Super Attic treatment! This treatment uses EPS foam board on the rafters making sure to air seal in between each piece of Silverglo EPS foam board. This creates a thermal barrier to the attic ceiling. Once we do this we go around the attic making sure every crack is air sealed to make sure the attic is air tight.

Today most of the whole house fans are obsolete and never seldom used. The Problem with the whole house fan louvers leaks a lot of air even when the fan is off. The whole house fan area represents a big gap in your ceiling insulation. These before and after shows help to better insulate this homeowner's attic by removing the whole house fan. Whole house fans are major air leaks for homeowners.
This homeowner in Enfield, CT called in looking to insulate their attic, the home was not energy efficient and they were 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 every space where air could leak from the home up into the attic. Lastly, we insulated with our blown-in TruSoft cellulose.
With the help of Fogarty's Home Services, this homeowner is now saving money and staying comfortable in her home.
