Can light leakage-Middletown, VA
This Middletown, VA homeonwer was complaining that their top floor was cold and drafty in the winter. Upon a full comfort and energy evaluation by Comfenergy, we determined one of the issues to be leaky can lights in the ceiling. Each can light is merely a 6" diameter hole that allows heated air to escape, and cold drafts in during the winter.
Rock wool can light covers lessen this leakage and also provide a necessary thermal and ignition barrier from the hot can light to protect against the possibility of fires.
Hot Bedroom-Stephens City, VA
Vertical walls with little/no, or fiberglass insulation on them allow the 130 degree attic heat to radiate through the drywall into a bedroom. SilverGlo foam boards (4" thick) can fix this problem.
Dense Packing a Cathedral Ceiling
Cellulose Insulation was used to dense pack the cathedral ceiling of this cottage that had no insulation in the attic. We also found a cantilevered section that required dense packing as well.
Front Royal Wall Insulation - Dense Packing
This Front Royal VA home had a detached garage with living space above. The garage was often too hot in the summer or too cold in the winter. Our Sales Professional Pedro identified an opportunity to improve those issues by dense packing the walls with insulation. Our production team removed sections of siding before making hole in the plywood frame of the walls and then used tubes to blow i and pack the insulation into the empty cavities of the wall frame.
Front Royal VA Attic Duct Management
Sometimes it can be helpful to improve the existing infrastructure in an attic to optimize energy efficiency for our clients. in addition to air sealing and adding insulation, this Front Royal VA home had extra length in the HVAC duct system running through the attic. Although it was well insulated, there was excessive distance for the conditioned air to travel, making it harder to deliver at the intended temperatures. Our production crew shortened it in sections and created a platform and damning system to allow for walking and or storage in the attic near its opening. A new attic hatch was installed which can zip closed when access to the attic is not needed.
