Before & After Photos

This Farmington, Connecticut home had an attic that wasn't properly insulated. The ducts weren't insulated either and this allowed unconditioned, moist, and dusty air to be distributed throughout the home. The homeowners wanted an attic that was energy efficient and provided storage space. They gave us a call here at Dr. Energy Saver of Connecticut to come and give their attic the upgrade it needed! We installed our blown insulation throughout the floor and left some space open for storage, as per the homeowners request. Our blown insulation provides thorough coverage and is a quick installation.

This home used to have massive ice dams. To prevent them from forming in the future, we replaced the old fiberglass insulation with a nice thick layer of our TruSoft cellulose. We also air sealed the attic floor, then covered the skylight assemblies with an airtight wrapping of our SilverGlo foam boards. Now the home doesn't have air leaks that cause ice damming!

This meriden home had insulation that wasn't very efficient. The attic was very drafty and alot of air would escape. The home owners were very frustrated with their previously poorly installed insulation and decided its time to call someone to fix it. They contacted us here at Dr. EnergySaver of Connecticut and Paul Zambrano, one of hour home energy specialists came up with a solution to fix the issue for good. We took out their fiberglass insulation and put in our Spray foam. Spray foam is an open-cell foam made up of tiny bubbles that are interconnected. The bubbles hold air, which provides insulation value — typically between R-3.5 and R-4 per inch. The homeowners now have a better insulated and seal attic that holds in their heated or conditioned air, saving them big money on their heating and cooling costs.

Before, this Bloomfield homeowner had little insulation in his attic, which caused major discomfort. The rooms in his home had uneven temperatures and his electric bill was consistently high every month. He wanted to make his home energy efficient, so he contacted the professionals at Dr. Energy Saver of CT to help make that possible. 

After one of the professionals at Dr. Energy Save of Connecticut visited the owner's home and deliberated with the owner, they decided to seal the entire attic and install blown in cellulose. By air sealing the attic, you are preventing any unwanted air from flowing freely through the attic that would otherwise waste the heated/cooled air you pay for. Once air sealed, blown cellulose insulation was installed along with wood dams to create a walkway for service and storage convenience. This type of insulation is superior because it provides a high R-value of R-60 while also being safe and environmentally friendly. After installation, the homeowner noticed a difference with a more reasonable electric bill and that the rooms had even temperatures throughout the home. This is exactly what he wanted and he was happy that he trusted the experts at Dr. Energy Saver of CT. 

When we arrived in this Glastonbury attic, we found that the existing fiberglass insulation wasn’t keeping warm air from escaping the house in the winter. This unnecessarily drove up heating costs for the homeowners. We removed the ineffective blown fiberglass and fiberglass batts so that we could air seal all of the gaps, seams and holes with expanding polyurethane foam. This sealed off the air flow between the attic and the rest of the house in order to keep the heated air where it belongs. Next we built dams and blew in our TruSoft cellulose insulation. Treated with natural borate compounds, blown cellulose insulation won't catch fire and it discourages the presence of insects, rodents and mold. We insulated the walkway with a layer of 4” SilverGlo, topped with flakeboard.  After their attic insulation upgrade, these owners were able to stay more comfortable in the cold weather while seeing a decrease in their energy bills!
