Reducing Inconsistent Temperature in a Home in Charlton, MA Reducing Inconsistent Temperature in a Home in Charlton, MA

A homeowner called us from Charlton, MA to request a full Home Energy Evaluation. The problem they were having was inconsistent temperatures throughout their house. It would be cold in one room and hot in another. This specific style home has a sloped roof, with knee-walls in the attic that are very difficult to keep warm or cold depending on the season. This knee wall was directly above a bedroom. The lack of any insulation was making it extremely hard to cool and heat the upper level of their home, especially in the bedrooms.

We used our Super Kneewall Treatment to fix this problem. First, we use our 4" SilverGlo insulation boards to block off air from getting through the ceiling joists and bays. We sprayed our one part foam to seal the edges and made sure no air can travel through the cracks. Then, we installed our SilverGlo foam boards under the rafters up to the knee-wall and sealed with one part foam. Next, we had to dense pack the roof slopes with our TruSoft cellulose insulation to stop air flow as well as insulate this non insulated attic. Our last step was to blow our TruSoft cellulose insulation above the flat ceiling.

Thanks to Dr. Energy Saver by Eco Energy Solutions, these homeowners can now live more comfortably in their home with more consistent temperatures all year long!

Charlton's Spray Foam Insulation & Basement Finishing Contractor

Spray foam insulation is the best choice for insulation if you’re looking to increase your comfort & decrease your energy bills. Spray foam insulation is truly the best option for home insulation and here are a few reasons why. Spray Foam Insulation provides an air barrier due to its ability to fill gaps and cracks. It is also great at staying in the hard to reach areas because of its super-adhesive qualities. Spray foam insulation is also waterproof, unlike fiberglass and cellulose insulation. Water will not be able to pass through the foam which makes it an extremely durable and long-lasting product. Lastly, spray foam insulation is foolproof. Spray foam is sprayed as a liquid and then expands and hardens to fill voids and gaps. There is never any chance for an area to be missed or bypassed. Once cured, spray foam insulation will stay in place for decades to come and will never shift or settle like fiberglass. To ensure your home has the best insulation available and your energy bills are low, switch to spray foam insulation today!

Benefits of Spray Foam Insulation Include:

  • Spray foam works in all areas of the home
  • Has a greater R-value
  • Acts as an air sealant
  • Is waterproof
  • Leaves no gaps

Crawl space insulation will block air from entering into your crawl space and we also add additional insulation so the existing air won't circulate throughout your home.

Job Stories From Charlton, MA
Insulating a Room over a Garage in Charlton, MA

This homeowner in Charlton, MA called us hoping that we would be able to help her with her home. Specifically, she had a garage with multiple rooms over it. One of these rooms was a bathroom that was constantly experiencing freezing pipes and drafts. She did not want to spend another winter having to constantly unfreeze her pipes and run multiple heaters in the space. Garages are not heated, but the finished rooms above them are. So the garage ceiling must be insulated. If left uninsulated or poorly insulated, the result is cold, drafty floors upstairs and excess noise from the garage heard upstairs.

 

We had the perfect solution for this homeowner. In this solution, we utilize densely packed TruSoft™ cellulose insulation. The siding is removed in the appropriate places.. Holes are drilled into the rim joist (outer edge of ceiling/floor framing) from the outside, and a very long pipe is inserted into the joist bays all the way to the other side. Cellulose is blown in and dense packed into the floor. The density stops airflow through the floor from air leaks. Results - warmer floors above, more comfortable rooms, quieter floors upstairs without that hollow sound, and lower heating and air conditioning bills.

Making a Home More Comfortable in Charlton, MA

This homeowner in Charlton, MA called us out to their home to see what we could do to help them with their issue of inconsistent temperatures throughout their home. This home had a room over the garage, which let cold air in through the un-insulated garage ceiling and walls and got up into the home. We knew what we had to do to help them become more comfortable in their home. We set up our work station, made our plan and got to work. We used a long hose and enter it through the side of the home, we put our hose through small holes and fill the space with dense packed Cellulose insulation. Due to some structural blocking, we had to densepack the other half of the ceiling from the inside of the garage. We want this entire ceiling to be insulated. Once this space is packed full of insulation, the air flow into the home from this area stops. We plug the holes we used to install the insulation back up, and this space is now air sealed and insulated. This resulted in more consistent temperatures, less drafts, and lower fuel and energy bills. This homeowner is now more comfortable in their home! This home is now one stop closer to being completely energy efficient thanks to Dr. Energy Saver!
