The occupants of a house in Notre-Dame-de-Stanbridge were experiencing uncomfortable temperatures in winter and a heating system that ran constantly due to defective insulation and insufficient sealing. Our experts conducted a comprehensive assessment and then carefully caulked air leaks, duct penetrations, and light -holes.
We then applied our eco-friendly blown cellulose insulation, a solution recognized for its thermal performance (high R-value) and reduced environmental footprint. The results: a continuous thermal barrier, a more comfortable home year-round, and significantly lower energy bills.
Our client in Saint-Hyacinthe had concerns about their attic. They entered their attic and felt an uncomfortable heat. Additionally, they noticed a damaged section of their existing insulation. Our specialist explained to the client that this heat is one of the consequences of air leaks from multiple sources, such as recessed lighting and holes for wires and pipes. Similarly, these air leaks will cause uncomfortable cold during the winter months. Moreover, the amount of existing insulation was inadequate. The result is an increase in Hydro bills due to the overuse of heating and cooling systems.
Our solution included the removal of the old insulation, sealing all sources of air leaks, and installing new insulation.
Our client was very satisfied with the results, as well as the entire process followed by our team.
A client contacted us after he removed the old existing insulation himself. He was asking us only to put fresh new insulation. As the attic was empty, we noticed the existence of mold spores, as well as some sources of air leaks. Thus, prior to blowing in our cellulose insulation, we managed to seal all the air leaks and remove all the mold spores before putting around 17 inches of our TruSoft cellulose insulation to reach the thermal value of R60. As a result, the attic was now very well insulated, which will increase the energy efficiency and the residential confort of the house.
During a recent attic insulation project in Saint-Nazaire-D'acton, Québec, the homeowner who was still experiencing discomfort in his home despite having both fiberglass and cellulose insulation in the attic. Upon inspection, we explained that the amount of insulation present was still not sufficient to achieve the recommended thermal resistance of R60. Additionally, air leaks were still present beneath the existing layers, compromising the insulation’s effectiveness. To provide a permanent solution to this issue, we removed all existing insulation, thoroughly sealed every air leak, and then installed our high-performance TruSoft cellulose insulation in the adequate quantity to reach an R60 value, ensuring optimal comfort and energy efficiency.
Dans le cadre d'un récent projet, nous avons été confrontés à une isolation existante dans un grenier qui ne respectait pas la valeur thermique requise de R60, compromettant l'efficacité énergétique de la maison. Après une inspection minutieuse, nous avons commencé par retirer l'ancienne isolation inadéquate. Ensuite, nous avons procédé à un calfeutrage pour sceller toutes les fuites d'air susceptibles de provoquer des pertes de chaleur. Enfin, nous avons soufflé notre isolation en cellulose de haute qualité, atteignant ainsi la valeur thermique optimale de R60. Ce processus a permis d'améliorer considérablement le confort intérieur et de réduire les coûts énergétiques de la maison.
