Attic Insulation Before & After Photos

This homeowner in West Hartford, CT called us hoping that she would be able to get her attic insulated. She had had issues with other companies giving her unrealistic estimates or refusing to fully evaluate or even touch the home. When our Home Comfort Specialist came to the home, he noted that there were multiple attic and kneewall spaces that needed to be insulated.

We provided multiple services for this homeowner. One of them was replacing the insulation on the floor of the attic. 

We started by removing the old, inefficient fiberglass insulation. This was bagged and disposed of. We then removed any loose insulation that had gotten knocked off, as well as as much debris as we could. 

We then went through the attic, sealing each gap with Zypfoam™, our one part expanding spray foam. This seals all the cracks and gaps that had this homeowner losing a LOT of air that they paid to heat. After that, we went in and used a large insulation blower to install the TruSoft™ cellulose insulation in the attic. This insulation is blown into the home through a large hose. The blown-in insulation fills all the odd spaces and voids evenly and provides a good insulation value.

Now, this homeowner will have a comfortable home for years to come!

These young homeowners in Granby, CT had concerns about drafts in the home, especially in the walk-in closet where it was either too hot or too cold!  We sat with the homeowners during their FREE in-home Energy Evaluation, and came up with a plan to make their home more comfortable!

Since this was a Cape Cod-style construction, the second floor suffered from inadequate insulation making it susceptible to air leaks, causing the home to be harder to heat in the winter and harder to cool in the summer.  Our first concern was to go into the attic and remove the old, dirty insulation; over many years it sits collecting dirt, dust, pollen, bugs, rodent feces, nest, and all different kinds of undesirable things.  We went in and bagged and removed the damaged and soiled insulation creating a clean space for the new insulation.  We then addressed the air leaks in the attic, we need to keep an absolute boundary between our living space and the attic so inside air doesn’t move to the attic in the heating season (convection).  This results in a more comfortable, less drafty home, and saves YOU money.

Thanks to Dr, Energy Saver by Eco Energy Solutions the couple's home is no more comfortable all year with much less need for heating and air conditioning.

This customer in Cummington, MA reached out to us as the contact person at a children's music camp. He stated that they had recently built new cabins at the camp and needed to insulate them for the comfort of the campers. Our Home Comfort Specialist came out to the home and examined the cabins to formulate a plan. 

We first went into the cabins and sealed all of the cracks and places where air would leak in and out. We installed baffles and used Rockwool to block parts of the eaves around the baffles. We then used a large hose to blow cellulose insulation into the attics. This will ensure that the cabins are more temperature-controlled and comfortable for the children attending this camp. The cabins will be enjoyed for years to come! 

This homeowner in Bloomfield, CT called us looking to have his attic insulation replaced. When our Home Comfort Specialist arrived at the home, he noted that this customer had large fiberglass batts for insulation. The insulation was dirty, covered in rodent droppings, and was in desperate need of replacement. It was obvious that there was an air leak of some kind in this attic due to the dirt that was strewn across the insulation.

We were able to help this customer with a short process. First, we removed the fiberglass batts that were in his attic. We then went in and air sealed in all of the tight spaces of the home -- between boards, in joints, et cetera. We then installed our TruSoft™ cellulose insulation in the attic. This insulation is blown in with a large machine. Since it is blown in, it is able to rest in all of the hard-to-reach nooks and crannies - making sure that there are no spots left uninsulated. 

This will drastically help the temperature of the home as well as keep the homeowner's energy bills down for years to come!
