Before & After Photos

The owners of this Southbury, CT home experienced cold winters and hot summers, due to minimal insulation and many concerning air gaps in the attic. When a home has little insulation the winters feel colder; forcing the homeowners to raise the heat. When raising the thermostat to maintain a comfortable temperature, it ends up leaking out the top of the house, which continuously raises heating costs dramatically. These uhappy customers called Dr. Energy Saver of CT who insulated the entire attic with our Spray Foam, which successfully regulates the temperature within the home.

The home is now, less expensive to heat/cool and more comfortable. The insulation is also mold, moisture, and pest resistant for added security. If you are in need of a foam insulation upgrade, contact Dr. Energy Saver of CT for a FREE estimate.

This Heritage Village home had an attic with terribly installed fiberglass batts insulation, which made the summers hot, and the winters cold. The homeowners called us and we made all their worries go away. We took out the old insulation and replaced it with one of our more effecting insulations. Our blown Cellulose insulation can usually be installed over existing attic insulation, as long as the existing insulation is in good condition. BEFORE installing new attic insulation, it’s critical to seal energy-wasting air leaks between the attic space and the living space below. Insulation slows heat transfer, but will not stop conditioned air from leaking into the attic; that’s why air sealing is always done along with an insulation upgrade. A skilled energy improvement contractor has the know-how to find and seal air leaks using a variety of materials and techniques. Our workers are thoroughly trained and experienced professionals!

Cellulose insulation is often used in attics because it can be installed quickly and effectively with blowing equipment. Cellullose is super-green: It’s made from recycled newspapers and treated for resistance to fire, mold and insects.

A homeowner in Woodbury, CT had an attic with existing fiberglass insulation that was causing the home to be energy efficient. They made the right decision when they called us at Dr. Energy Saver of CT. After scheduling an appointment, one of our Sales Consultants, Joe Schech, went out to the home to assess the issue and provide the best solution for this home. 

Once the proposal was ready, it would soon be time for one of our Foremen, Rudy Abel, and his crew to tackle this project. They removed the old insulation first. Then they built an insulated catwalk with retention dams. This will leave a certain area for the insulation to go. Next, they blew in our Tru-Soft Cellulose insulation. This will act as a thermal barrier to the home, keeping the temperature regulated all year round. Now, the cold air won't get in and the warm air won't seep out of the home. The customer can even expect to see a decrease in their energy bill now! 

This attic in Stratford, CT wasn't properly insulated. The existing insulation had little to no R-Value, the insulation was scattered and was not doing any good for the homes energy efficiency. Having a home that has an attic with poorly preforming insulation can run your monthly utility bills up a pretty penny. This homeowner wanted a space that could be used for storage but was also energy efficient and provided enough insulation for their family to live comfortably in the rooms below. We installed blown-in insulation over most of the attic, raising the R Value up to R60 from the previous next to nothing value it had before. Blown in insulation offers more uniform and thorough coverage than typical fiberglass batts. We also built an insulated catwalk using particle board and rigid foam insulation with retaining dams to keep the storage area clean of blown cellulose. This room is much more attractive looking and doubles as a storage haven and will now be one of the most energy efficient rooms in the house! This homeowner couldn't be happier with their new space!

The old-fashioned way to insulate a crawlspace was to install fiberglass batt insulation between the joists, and to vent the crawl space so that outside air could circulate beneath the house. Unfortunately, Fiberglass insulation doesn’t respond well to the moist conditions that can be found in this area of the home. The cotton-like material absorbs moisture, compresses or sags, and loses R-value like it did in this home. The Dr. Energy Saver of Connecticut team insulated the crawlspace walls using spray foam, and we installed insulation and our CleanSpace vapor barrier on the floor. This home is now more energy efficient and comfortable with a clean and properly insulated crawl space.
