Keeping Temperatures Consistent in Auburn, MA

This homeowner in Auburn, MA called us out to their old home for an energy evaluation. We concluded that the old fiberglass insulation in the attic was not efficient. Their home was still freezing in the winter, and super hot in the summer. 

We removed all of the old, nasty fiberglass insulation and got ready to use our SuperAttic treatment for this homeowner. We plan to install our SilverGlo foam insulation boards on the underside of the roof deck and the gable end. In this after photo, you can see the SilverGlo was installed on the gable ends! Next up, under the roof deck! 

Thanks to Dr. Energy Saver by Eco Energy Solutions this home will have more consistent temperatures, and is more energy-efficient!

Insulating Kneewalls in Putnam, CT

This homeowner in Putnam, CT called us stating that he had a poorly insulated Cape-style home. The home had been built by a family member 70 years ago, and it had multiple problems that the homeowner was working to fix. He wanted to have his insulation replaced to increase the comfort of his home. The second floor of a Cape often suffers from inadequate insulation, and air leaks from the soffits into poorly insulated kneewall spaces. This results in cold drafty rooms in winter that are harder than necessary to heat, and hot rooms in the summer as roof heat radiates in unchecked. Kneewall spaces are dusty and too cold or hot - unsuitable for clean storage.

 

We had the perfect solution for this customer -- our Super Kneewall™ treatment. First, our SilverGlo™ foam insulation panels are installed on the bottom of the rafters in the kneewall spaces and the ceiling joist bays are blocked and sealed with foam to stop air leakage. Then the roof slopes are dense packed with TruSoft™ cellulose insulation to stop air flow and insulate. Finally, the flat ceiling is insulated with TruSoft™ cellulose insulation. Result - rooms are comfortable all year and need much less heat and air conditioning. Drafts are eliminated as kneewall spaces are airtight and clean and suitable for storage. Summer roof heat is far less.

Air Sealing and Insulating Attic in North Stonington, CT

These Homeowners in North Stonington, CT Called us out to their home for insulation and air sealing of the attic. When we arrived, we noticed there was old inefficient fiberglass insulation in the attic.  We removed all the fiberglass insulation and vacuumed up all the debris. Next, we started air sealing the attic. We sealed up all the gaps and odd shaped voids where air was able to leak and is lost. We then insulated the attic with trusoft cellulose insulation. The access point to their attic was through the attic stairs hatch. This hatchway is a main point of where air can leak from. We installed a David Lewis Hatch Cover. What that cover does, is it rests right over the pull-down stair hatch. The cover is made of lightweight silver Glo foam insulation, it can be easily lifted aside to go up into your attic and set it back in place when you leave. It is installed over an insulated platform. It stops air from leaking down into the home and from the home up into the attic. We also insulated their ducts with Silver Glo and spray foam insulation.

Thanks to Fogarty's Home Services, these homeowners will have a more comfortable home, lower energy bills.

Insulating a Basement in North Stonington, CT

This homeowner in North Stonington, CT reached out to us looking to do work in his basement. He wanted to get his basement insulated, as he was having a lot of issues with the first floor of his home being cold. Additionally, he had a moisture issue he wanted fixed, and he wanted to eventually finish his basement. In a basement, the “rim joist” is the perimeter of the floor framing system along the exterior of the house. The joints and gaps between all the framing members allow for a lot of air leakage into the house. The rim joist is seldom insulated and never air sealed. Basement ceiling insulation, especially fiberglass batts, doesn’t stop the flow of cold air into the home. Results - cold floors, drafty, uncomfortable rooms, cold basement/lower level, higher heating and cooling bills and more condensation in the basement or crawl space in the summer.

 

We had the perfect solution for this customer. In this solution, we spray foam the rim joist in the basement in order to seal and insulate it. Two part expanding spray foam is installed on the rim joist and over the sill plate to seal all air leaks from the outside and insulate this important area of the home. Our spray foam has a high insulation value per inch of R7, and because it expands, it seals all cracks and gaps and joints where air from the outside enters the home. Results - warmer floors, less drafts, more comfortable rooms, the house is easier to heat and costs less to heat, less summertime condensation on cold basement surfaces.
