Before & After Photos

This Alexandria VA apartment had HVAC ducts that ran adjacent to the windows and sliding doors that lead to the outside patio/deck area of the living space.  This left the HVAC ducts susceptible to impact from the external temperatures which caused the HVAC to run more often than it should have needed too. This also lead to added noise for the residents when the HVAC system was running.  Our Home Performance Sales Pro Pedro visited the home and found a solution to help protect the HVAC ducts from external temperatures and to reduce the noise coming from the HVAC system.  Pedro advised that the HVAC ducts be encapsulated in spray foam insulation.  Our production team removed the drywall around the HVAC ducts to gain access to each side and then applied spray foam to cover the ducts.  Once dried, the spray foam was shaved down to make it flat around the HVAC ducts and allow to reinstall the drywall that had been cut away.  

A cantilever hangs out past the foundation walls of a home and can allow for external air and temperatures to impact the inside of the home if not properly insulated and sealed.  Cold air from outside can make the floors connected to the cantilever cold and allergens or dust from outside can work its way into the air inside of the home.  Spray foam insulation is a great way to not only insulate the floors connected to the cantilever, but to air seal the space to allow for better air control in the home.  

There were severs drafts coming through the knee-walls of this Alexandria, VA home. Comfenergy used closed cell spray foam to air seal and insulate them to stop these drafts. 

This Alexandria, VA home had a tremendous amount of air drafting through the knee-wall/storage space.  Comfenergy used Thermax foam boards to air seal and insulate them. Thermax is used in storage areas due to its ability to also provide a fire resistant flame barrier per code.

The following before/after pictures are from a knee-wall in Alexandria, VA that we encapsulated with closed cell spray foam.  This made the top floor warmer in the winter, and cooler in the summer....plus lessens draftiness on this level of the home.
