This homeowner in Springfield, MA called us out to their home for a Full Home Energy Evaluation after watching Dr. Energy Saver by Eco Energy Solutions commercials on television. They were interested in a Energy Evaluation for their home because they wanted to see what they could do to make their home more comfortable. These homeowners added an addition to their home some years back, and under the floor of this addition there was fiberglass insulation. This insulation was held in place by a plastic vapor barrier. When we cut the vapor barrier down water started to pour out of it, which is a huge problem. In the before photo, you can see what this insulation looked like once we took that plastic off. Even though there is fiberglass insulation in the floor, because it sags down away from the sub floor, the same outside air gets over it rendering it useless. We know what we needed to do to help these homeowners become more comfortable in their home.
The first thing we need to do is remove all of that old, nasty insulation from the floors of this home. We remove and properly dispose of the material, vacuuming up anything that fell. Then we can move on to our next step. We install SilverGlo foam insulation board across the floor joists and hold them in place with with 3” washers and 5” screws to ensure stability. We seal all of the SilverGlo seams with one- part foam.
Now that Dr. Energy saver by Eco Energy Solutions has increased efficiency and stopped air flow from leaking in and out of the home, these homeowners can live more comfortable in their home all year round!
This home owner in Longmeadow, MA called us out to her home because of the ice damming problem that she had last year. This was occurring because the heat that she was paying for escaped into the attic and warmed up the roof deck. Now that the roof deck is warm. the snow starts melt and run down the roof until it hits the gutter line and refreezes. This is how ice dams are created.
To stop this from happening we have to properly air seal and insulate the attic space. To do this first we remove all the old fiberglass insulation. Then we vacuum out the attic and begin to airseal every penetration so no air can escape into the attic. Then we blow our Trusoft cellulose insulation to and R-value of R-60.
Now that Dr Energy Saver by Eco Energy Solutions has come and helped this home, this home owner will not have to worry about ice damming ever again!
This homeowner in Longmeadow, MA was experiencing a lot of air leakage in their attic. This was creating cold drafty rooms as well as heat loss in the winter. The heat loss created an increase in their energy bills attempting to heat the home. Due to this, customers were uncomfortable in their home year round. By air sealing all of the gaps with our spray foam insulation and blowing in Dr. Energy Savers TruSoft cellulose insulation, it created a more comfortable, healthy environment for the entire home and family. Our TruSoft cellulose insulation is treated with natural borate compounds. By doing this we have created a higher R-value in the space as well as decreasing the energy costs.
Thanks to Dr. Energy Saver by Eco Energy Solutions we made the rooms below a comfortable living space for the customer and their family! Call us today or submit a FREE estimate form!
This homeowner in Vernon, CT called us out to their home to take a look at a potential mold issue and to replace old inefficient fiberglass insulation. Mold can be very dangerous. It is harmful to have in your home, especially for pets, young children, and older people. The old inefficient fiberglass without air sealing was also a huge concern.
We removed all of the old, fiberglass insulation and properly disposed of the materials properly Next, we fog our Mold-X treatment throughout the attic to neutralize any nooks and crannies that can be affected. Now we are ready for the next step. We seal up all top plates and any areas where air can escape from the home into the attic and be lost with foam. We even made an insulated storage area as shown in the after photo. Now we are ready to blow our Truoft Cellulose insulation into the attic. Cellulose will fill in any odd-shaped voids and gaps.
Now, thanks to Dr. Energy Saver by Eco Energy Solutions, this home is more energy efficient!
This homeowner in South Hadley, MA called us out to their home to remove and replace their old insulation. This home had very old, fiberglass insulation in their attic. Fiberglass insulation is very fluffy and allows air to easily seep through, and exit or enter the home.The attic is always the first priority in regards to insulation.
First we needed to remove all of the old, nasty fiberglass insulation. We remove, bag up, and properly dispose of the old insulation. We do our air sealing before we install new insulation. This is because without air sealing you are not properly sealing the home up. We air seal all of the top plates with one-part fire retardant foam. Now we can insulate! We blow in our TruSoft cellulose insulation, this fills all of the gaps, cracks, and odd shaped voids in the attic.
This will result in a more comfortable, and energy efficient home, thanks to Dr. Energy Saver by Eco Energy Solutions!
