Before & After Photos

After these homeowner's had an energy evaluation performed on their home they were shocked at the results.  Their main problem was in the attic because it was under insulated and not properly sealed.  Therefore, it was losing a lot of energy.  They chose to have our SilverGlo rigid foam board insulation with radiant barrier installed. SilverGlo will not only insulate their Cambridge, MD home preventing unwanted air and temperatures in through the attic, it will also reflect indoor temperatures back into the home keeping them more comfortable while using less energy!

Dr. Energy Saver has fixed uncomfortable homes throughout Delmarva for over 6 years. This home here in Ridgely, Maryland was no different.

Without the proper air sealing and insulation, air leaked out of the living quarters of the home and into the attic. Causing the cost of home ownership to rise.

Dr. Energy Saver has air sealed and insulated this attic to restrict any air movement from leaving out through the attic and another satisfied homeowner!

A can light is recessed lighting in a ceiling and is installed by simply cutting a hole out and placing the light over it.  This type of installation allows air to leak between the fixture and the drywall to the room or attic above causing a lot of energy loss.  When an incandescent or halogen bulb is on it burns at 380 degrees fahrenheit.  Air this hot rises at a faster rate and can cause the fixture to leak air faster as well.  Because the lights burn at such a high heat most can light covers have not been rated to have insulation against them due to the fire hazard they create when turned on.  

Dr. Energy Saver Delmarva can take care of sealing and insulating these fixtures with TiteShell can light covers.  These covers prevent the flow of air from floor to floor and they also keep all of the heat generated by the bulb in the room the light is in.  Now insulation can safely lay against this light fixture without the fear of fire due to high temperatures from the bulb. 

For optimal energy conservation, install compact florescent bulbs (CFL's) or LED bulbs.  These types of bulbs not only use less wattage to operate, they also burn at a much lower temperature making your home much easier to cool in the summer time.

Adding additional insulation to this Newark, Delaware home increased comfort for the homeowner. Hot, upstairs rooms are no longer an issue for the New Castle resident.

Proper air sealing and insulation around this exhaust pipe in this Newark, Delaware attic, helps keep the heat inside the home during the winter.
