Before & After Photos

The old fiberglass insulation in this Ellington, CT attic wasn't keeping up with the demands of the cold winters. It coudn't stop air from escaping out of the warm house. To repair the attic and make the house more comfortable, we had to first remove the old insulation. Next, we used polyurethane foam on any air leaks we found. This expanding foam fills every crack for an airtight seal, and also insulates! When we were finished with the air sealing, we blew cellulose into the attic. This super-green material not only insulates, but also resists combustion, insects, and mold. After this attic insulation upgrade, the owners of this home were far more comforable in their home, and saved money on heating the house as well!

The homeowners of this Canton property had very hot summers and very cold winters. The reason for this was due to no insulation in the attic whatsoever. The homeowners contacted the experts at Dr. Energy Saver of CT and our certified home comfort specialist Don came out to fix the problem. We recommended our close cell spray foam. Closed-cell foams are quite dense. When used for insulation, it ranges from 1.7 lb. per cubic foot to 2 lb. per cubic foot. The greater the density, the stronger the foam. Closed-cell foam is dense enough to strengthen the structure to which it is applied. In fact, studies have shown that it improves the attachment of roof sheathing to rafters and trusses. Advantages include:

• Adds strength to framing and sheathing
• Higher R-value per inch
• Higher real-world R-values for wall, floor, and roofing assemblies
• Seals off air infiltration
• Forms a moisture barrier (a plus for applications that require one)
• Blocks sound
• Greater resistance to the leakage of air or water vapor

The home owners can rest assured now that they know they will live in a more confortable enviornment.

This Brooklyn, CT home has old insulation that was in desperate need of replacing. The yellow fiberglass batts were starting to fall apart, and their home was beginning to lose energy. They gave us a call at Dr. Energy Saver of Connecticut, and we were happy to help! 

Our Home Energy Expert, Keith Saunders, came in, and quickly diagnosed the problem. This basement needed new insulation immediately, so he called on Dan Kiley and his team to come on out, and get this attic ready for winter! They first removed all of the old insulation before installing Trusoft Cellulose insulation on the attic gables. Compared to fiberglass insulation, TruSoft™ cellulous will not burn, become moldy or attract pests. Thanks to treatment with natural borate compounds, cellulose insulation will never catch fire. The same treatment discourages the presence of insects, rodents and mold.

This family is now much more comfortable in their home, and we are happy we were able to make a difference! Give us a call TODAY for your free energy evaluation.

A homeowner in Greenwich, CT had existing insulation in their attic that was causing their home to be energy inefficient. They decided it was time to call us at Dr. Energy Saver of CT to help solve their problems. After scheduling an appointment, one of our Sales Consultants, Keith Saunders, went out to the home to assess the issues. 

Then it would be time for one of our Foremen, Rudy Abel, and his team to work on this project. They installed an insulated catwalk so that this attic can be used for storage and be easily accessible. Then the crew blew in TruSoft Cellulose insulation. This would act as a thermal barrier to the home, regulating the temperature properly. Now this home will be energy efficient and the customer can watch their energy bill decrease! 

A homeowner located in Stamford, CT expressed interest in improving his crawlspace's insulation. With old fiberglass insulation hanging from the subfloor and floor joists, the homeowner expressed issues with cold floors during winter months. To remedy his concerns, he reached out to the experts at Dr. Energy Saver for assistance.

Upon calling, the homeowner made contact with Jimmy Stablein, scheduling a free in-home consultation. Shortly after, Stablein arrived at the home, mapping out the crawlspace and offering potential solutions. Following his visit, Stablein assembled a proposal documenting his suggestions for how to improve the crawlspace's insulation situation.

Ultimately, the homeowner landed on spray foam insulation. Offering better insulation properties, spray foam insulation features a better R-value (measure of the effectiveness of insulation) than traditional fiberglass insulation and fills gaps and cracks by expanding into areas it's sprayed.

Shortly after, Foreman Jony Fernandez and his team arrived on-site to begin the installation process. After a quick install, the crawl space was returned to the homeowner with better insulation properties! The homeowner no longer has to worry about chilly floors in the winter.
