Before & After Photos

This home owner in Enfield, CT called us out to see if we could help him with a problem he was having in his home. The problem was that he was not comfortable in his home no matter the season! When our building science inspector got to the home he noticed the problem right away. The problem was that this cape cod construction home had very little insulation to protect it from the outdoor elements. 

To fix this problem, first we have to properly insulate and air seal the attic spaces using our Super Kneewall Treatment. To begin, we block the end plates in order to stop air from getting into the floors. Next, we put up runs of our 4" SilverGlo foam board insulation along all of the slopes to give it some much need R-value. Then, we screw the SilverGlo into the rafters making sure to air seal in between every single sheet. SilverGlo foam boards have radiant barriers on both sides, reflecting roof heat in the summer and to keep heat in during the winter. Thanks to Dr. Energy Saver by Eco Energy Solutions, this homeowners can now be comfortable in their home year round!

Insulating Floors Open to the Outside Underneath Bottom of Joist in Enfield, CT for less drafts and a more comfortable home.

Today most of the whole house fans are obsolete and never seldom used. The Problem with the whole house fan louvers leaks a lot of air even when the fan is off. The whole house fan area represents a big gap in your ceiling insulation. These before and after shows help to better insulate this homeowner's attic by removing the whole house fan. Whole house fans are major air leaks for homeowners. 

These homeowners in Enfield, CT had issues keeping their home, primarily the den, warm in the winter. There were old batts of fiberglass insulation that at one point were installed into the ceiling of the crawlspace, but were now falling off, letting cold air up into the home.

We started off by clearing out this old insulation. With the space cleared, we sealed off the rim joist, otherwise know as the perimeter of the floor framing of the house, to stop cold air from creeping in. We installed our SilverGlo graphite infused foam board onto the walls to insulate the crawlspace to keep heat in during the winter. We then got to work on the dirt floor of the crawlspace. We laid down our dimpled drainage to create an airspace and thermal break. Then we put down our TerraBlock floor insulation, and finalize our sealing off the crawlspace with our vapor barrier liner to keep moisture from getting into the crawlspace and creating any mold issues.

Thanks to Dr. Energy Saver by Eco Energy Solutions, this home will be warmer and the den with be far more comfortable.

This homeowner in Enfield, CT was having issues with drafts in their home. Old metal framed, single pane windows allow the heat from inside the home escape both through the glass and the thermally conductive metal. A lot of air is also able to leak into the home.

We removed the old windows and installed our Everlast high efficiency vinyl window inserts. The windows feature two panes of high efficiency glass that allows light in without letting heat to escape. The vinyl on these windows will not rust, rot or need paint, making it perfect for the damp environment outside of the window!

Thanks to Dr. Energy Saver by Eco Energy Solutions, this house will no longer have drafts coming up into the home!
