The owners of this west Eugene, OR home wanted to make their floors warmer and make their home more comfortable and energy efficient. Spray foam is an excellent solution as it doesn't sag like fiberglass batts do, and it fills many cracks and crevices so air doesn't get drawn into the home from the crawl space as quickly as it does with fiberglass.
This Eugene homeowner’s ducts live in the attic. Due to the leaks in the ductwork and the lack of insulation surrounding the ducts, they were losing a lot of heated air in to the attic!
The client chose to have the ductwork encapsulated with closed cell spray foam. Now the air they are paying to het is reaching their living space inside their home!
This homeowner up Lorane Highway in Eugene, OR decided to drywall this open ceiling (see BEFORE photo) and called Josh Lowe’s Dr. Energy Saver to get a proposal. Our Energy Consultant saw that it was an open ceiling and suggested closed-cell spray foam, rather than fiberglass or rigid foam board, as the superior insulating material.
Our spray foam insulation crew sprayed in three inches of closed-cell spray foam (see photo) between the beams, and then the homeowner was able to drywall right over it. Besides being the more superior insulating material for this job, it also helps with soundproofing.
This homeowner called us to investigate under their home since parts of the house had very cold floors. Our Energy Consultant found that there was no insulation under the floors! (see BEFORE photo) She chose to have the floors spray foamed since it will be a more permanent solution (fiberglass will eventually sag).
This homeowner found us on Home Advisor and called to get our ideas for making their south Eugene home warmer in winter. Our Energy Consultant climbed into the attic and determined that the attic was the main culprit—it had some insulation (see BEFORE photo) but not enough to keep in the heat in the winter.
Our attic insulation crew removed the old insulation, and then sealed up the leaks (called air sealing). They then blew in TruSoft™ cellulose to the higher R-60 insulation level. (see AFTER photo)
