This homeowner in Vernon, CT called us out to their home to take a look at a potential mold issue and to replace old inefficient fiberglass insulation. Mold can be very dangerous. It is harmful to have in your home, especially for pets, young children, and older people. The old inefficient fiberglass without air sealing was also a huge concern.
We removed all of the old, fiberglass insulation and properly disposed of the materials properly Next, we fog our Mold-X treatment throughout the attic to neutralize any nooks and crannies that can be affected. Now we are ready for the next step. We seal up all top plates and any areas where air can escape from the home into the attic and be lost with foam. We even made an insulated storage area as shown in the after photo. Now we are ready to blow our Truoft Cellulose insulation into the attic. Cellulose will fill in any odd-shaped voids and gaps.
Now, thanks to Dr. Energy Saver by Eco Energy Solutions, this home is more energy efficient!
This homeowner in South Hadley, MA had called and complained about having cold floors. One of the things we always look out for is the rim joist in the basement. In this case, like most other homes, the rim joist was not insulated. It was letting in cold and dry air in in the winter and hot humid air in in the summer.
To fix this problem we have to First remove any old fiberglass batting. Then we spray our 2 part expanding spray foam to seal up all gaps and penetrations. Now we have stop the convection and conduction loss that was causing this homeowner problems.

This homeowner in South Hadley, MA called us out to their home to remove and replace their old insulation. This home had very old, fiberglass insulation in their attic. Fiberglass insulation is very fluffy and allows air to easily seep through, and exit or enter the home.The attic is always the first priority in regards to insulation.
First we needed to remove all of the old, nasty fiberglass insulation. We remove, bag up, and properly dispose of the old insulation. We do our air sealing before we install new insulation. This is because without air sealing you are not properly sealing the home up. We air seal all of the top plates with one-part fire retardant foam. Now we can insulate! We blow in our TruSoft cellulose insulation, this fills all of the gaps, cracks, and odd shaped voids in the attic.
This will result in a more comfortable, and energy efficient home, thanks to Dr. Energy Saver by Eco Energy Solutions!
This homeowner in South Hadley, MA contacted us about having old insulation in the attic which needed to be replaced. As you can see, the previous insulation only barely made it up as high as the joist, which on average is 8 to 10 inches, only half of what is required for a home!
We removed this insulation and sealed any air leaks that were present to ensure that none of the air this homeowner pays to heat will escape through the top of the house. We the installed 20 full inches of our TruSoft cellulose insulation. We also created a catwalk to make it safe and easy to reach heating and cooling equipment that resides in the attic.
Thanks to Dr. Energy Saver this homeowner can live more comfortably and enjoy having lower energy costs!
This homeowner in South Hadley, MA called us out to their home because they had a very old historic poorly insulated home. We knew that we needed to help this home. We removed all the old nasty fiberglass insulation because it is very old and inefficient.
You can see in the before photo we have already been in and air sealed all penetrations, and you can see we have air sealed the can lights with can heat resistant light covers over them. This will ensure once we get to our next step, blowing insulation, the lights are completely sealed and safe from any damage! Now we blow in our TruSoft Cellulose Insulation to the optimal R-Value (insulation value). If you look closely you can see our insulation ruler almost covered!
Now, thanks to Dr. Energy Saver by Eco Energy Solutions this home has updated insulation, is more comfortable, and energy efficient!
