Attic Insulation Before & After Photos

This homeowner in Weatogue, CT called us with issues with his attic insulation. When our Home Comfort Specialist arrived, he noted that the attic pull down stairs were leaking a LOT of air up into the home. This is fairly common -- it is hard to insulate these attic hatches. But this means that the air this homeowner is paying to heat and cool was leaking up into the attic, where it escapes out the vents. 

We were able to help this customer create a more comfortable home. Our solution was our exclusive David Lewis Hatch Cover™. It is created out of lightweight SilverGlo™ insulation, and prevents air leakage from the attic stairs into the attic. This lightweight foam cover is easily lifted when they need to get into the attic, and easily moved right back when they leave -- meaning they are always protected. This homeowner will be able to have a more comfortable home for years to come! 

This homeowner experienced huge amounts of air leakage which caused heat loss in the winter and conditioned air in the summer, driving up energy costs for heating and cooling the home. Our team installed the Super Knee Wall system, which uses SilverGlo rigid foam insulation. These panels create a continuous air and insulation barrier beneath the roof of the home. With the Super Knee Wall insulation installed, the homeowner was able to experience a significant change in their energy consumption as well as their energy costs.

Our Simsbury, CT customer called Fogarty's Home Services because his home was very uncomfortable due to insufficient insulation. When our Home Comfort Specialist conducted a Free Home Energy Evaluation, one of the problems he discovered was open air space around the chimney in the attic. That open space was allowing air that the customer paid to heat his home with to continuously leak out of the attic. To solve this problem, Fogarty's Home Services installed metal flashing against the space between the wood framing and masonry. Next, we sealed the chimney airtight and installed completely fireproof "Rock Wool" insulation panels. Our happy customer will now feel a much more comfortable temperature in his home and his energy bills will be lower. "We Fix Uncomfortable Homes!"

Our North Adams, MA customer reached out to Fogarty's Home Services after experiencing ice damming. She was concerned that they would cause leaking and damage in her attic. After one of our Home Comfort Specialists completed a free Home Energy Evaluation, we determined that her vented attic needed more sufficient insulation.  Vented attics are hostile places (-30°F in the winter and 125°F in the summer). Heat from the house in the attic melts snow on the roof where it refreezes at the eaves causing destructive ice damming. After installing this SuperAttic™ Advanced Conversion system in our customer's home, she not longer has a hostile environment in her attic that will cause ice damming. She also has a less drafty, more energy efficient home. "We Fix Uncomfortable Homes!"
