Insulating an Attic with TruSoft™ Cellulose in West Hartford, CT Insulating an Attic with TruSoft™ Cellulose in West Hartford, CT

This homeowner in West Hartford, CT called us hoping that she would be able to get her attic insulated. She had had issues with other companies giving her unrealistic estimates or refusing to fully evaluate or even touch the home. When our Home Comfort Specialist came to the home, he noted that there were multiple attic and kneewall spaces that needed to be insulated.

 

We provided multiple services for this homeowner. One of them was replacing the insulation on the floor of the attic. 

 

We started by removing the old, inefficient fiberglass insulation. This was bagged and disposed of. We then removed any loose insulation that had gotten knocked off, as well as as much debris as we could. 

 

We then went through the attic, sealing each gap with Zypfoam™, our one part expanding spray foam. This seals all the cracks and gaps that had this homeowner losing a LOT of air that they paid to heat. After that, we went in and used a large insulation blower to install the TruSoft™ cellulose insulation in the attic. This insulation is blown into the home through a large hose. The blown-in insulation fills all the odd spaces and voids evenly and provides a good insulation value.

 

Now, this homeowner will have a comfortable home for years to come!

West Hartford's Leading Spray Foam Insulation 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

Your home's crawl space may often go unnoticed but it holds great importance when it comes to the comfort of your home. As the lowest point of your home, the crawl space can suck in cold air from outside and once that air is inside it will slowly warm and circulate upwards throughout the rest of your home. Adding proper insulation to your crawl space can make your home healthier and also lower your energy bills by up to 30%. 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. Crawl space insulation is a great way to spend your money due to the future energy savings you will see! To learn more about crawl space insulation in your West Hartford home, call or click today!

Job Stories From West Hartford, CT
Insulating Around a Chimney in West Hartford, CT

This homeowner in West Hartford, CT called us hoping that we would be able to help her with her home. Part of her home was very cold, and the attic was losing a large amount of heat. When our Home Comfort Specialist came out to the home, he noted that there was a chimney that had space around it with no insulation. The building code requires that no combustible materials, including wood framing and insulation, be within 2” of a masonry chimney. This has left millions of homes -- including this homeowner's! -- with an airspace from the basement right to the attic. Air that they paid to heat is continually leaking out of the home to the vented attic where it is lost. Results - a more drafty, uncomfortable house that’s harder to heat, higher fuel and electric bills.

 

We had the perfect solution for this customer. In this solution, we wrap the chimney to prepare for insulation. First, the space between the wood framing and masonry is flashed with metal and then sealed airtight with special high temperature fire caulk. Then fireproof “Rock Wool” insulation panels are installed around the chimney so that cellulose insulation may be blown against the chimney. Chimney wrapping leaves no gaps in the insulation around the chimney, and seals one of the biggest air leaks in the home. Results - Lower house air leakage, less heat loss, home is more comfortable and easier to heat - lower fuel bills.

 

Insulating an Attic Containing Serviceable HVAC Equipment

To insulate your attic properly, as you should, the benefits of a thick blanket of TruSoft™ blown cellulose insulation make it the best solution. But how can a serviceman get up there to service heating and cooling equipment if the attic floor has 17” of insulation over it? If you simply don’t insulate a path leading to the equipment, how can you get a properly insulated attic and a comfortable home? Fogarty's Home Services has the solution! 

 

First our exclusive SilverGlo™ board foam is installed across your ceiling joists or existing wood walkway. SilverGlo™ is expanded polystyrene foam with graphite infused into the foam which bumps up the insulation value by 24% over standard EPS foam. Then Oriented Standard Board (OSB) is installed over the SilverGlo™ with very long screws and 3” washers. To keep blown insulation off your new access catwalk, we install dams made of Oriented Strand Board approximately 18” higher than the drywall ceiling. When TruSoft™ cellulose insulation is blown into your attic, any space beneath the catwalk is filled.

 

The result is a clean, useful insulated catwalk to and in front of your heating/cooling equipment, separated from the TruSoft™ blown insulation in your attic.

Dirt Floor Crawl Space in West Hartford, CT

The problem is, that millions of homes were built with vented dirt crawl spaces. Now all Home Comfort Specialists agree - that was a big mistake. Now building codes are changing. In the winter, vents let cold air directly into our home. Floor insulation sags away from the sub floor and the cold air gets above it - rendering the insulation useless. In the summer the vents let warm humid air in which is cooled by the subterranean crawl space. This caused the relative humidity to go way up and condensation to form all over the crawl space surfaces including floor joists and ducts. Mold grows and wood rots, while insect and other pests flourish. Musty odors can be noticed upstairs as mold spores travel upwards into the living space. Eventually rotted floor joist must be replaced and mold must be remediated. An unending stream of water vapor comes up from the ground adding to the moisture load in the crawl space and house. The damp air is harder to heat and cool. The Result - condensation, mold, rot, pests and odors, cold floors, drafts, an uncomfortable home, higher fuel and electric bills.

 

The Solution is a CleanSpace™ Encapsulation System with Drainage Matting, TerraBlock™ Floor Insulation and SilverGlo™ Insulation on the Walls. 

Your vents and other air leaks to the outside are sealed, often using our insulated vent covers. Walls are insulated with SilverGlo™ insulation with a reflective radiant barrier face. SilverGlo™ foam has graphite infused into the foam to increase the R-value by 24% over standard foam. A dimpled plastic drainage matting is installed across the floor to create an airspace and thermal break, and TerraBlock™ floor insulation is installed over it. Finally the heavy duty, 20 mil thick CleanSpace™ crawl space encapsulation liner is installed permanently across the dirt floor - sealed with mechanical fasteners to the walls and spiked to the floor. CleanSpace™ features Ultrafresh™ anti-microbial ingredients in the product. The results are, much lower humidity, much warmer floors upstairs, less drafts, a more comfortable house, and lower fuel and electric bills.
