This homeowner in Windsor, CT wanted to reduce drafts and humidity in the basement.  Rim joists are often uninsulated which allows cold dry air to enter the home in the winter and warm humid air to enter in the summer.  Our team used our closed-cell polyurethane spray foam insulation to air seal and insulate the rim joist.  Our spray foam has an insulation value of R7 per inch.  The foam expands ensuring all cracks and gaps are sealed to prevent outside air from entering.  The homeowner will have warmer floors, their home will be more comfortable and easier to heat and cool.

Stopping air leakage at the top of the house is a priority when it comes to making a home more comfortable.  Can lights are holes in the ceiling which allow air to leak into the attic between the fixture and the drywall.  Air leaks through the fixture itself due to the many holes and seams in it.  Most can lights are not rated to have insulation against them because of the fire hazard when the fixture gets hot.  

We installed our Dr. Energy Saver TiteShell can light covers.  We used our expanding foam to make these lights air tight.  These covers are safe from the fire hazards of hot bulbs and fixtures allowing cellulose insulation to be blown into the attic.

Thanks to Dr. Energy Saver by Eco Energy Solutions, air will no longer leak through this can light, and we can now safely blow in our cellulose around it.

This home owner in Windsor, CT had called us to come out to her home and check out her basement. One thing that we have to know when dealing with basements is that this area of the house is where a lot of air infiltration occurs. Due to the rim joist not being insulated or air sealed, she definitely had a problem. To fix this, our crew went down there and sprayed the rim joist with a 2-part expanding poly foam. This will seal up all the cracks and opening in the rim joist and help stop conduction loss by giving it some much needed insulation. Now this home owner will no long have to worry about her cold floors in the winter!

Installing Crawl Space Access Door and Well in Windsor, CT.

Our customer in Windsor, CT called with concerns about his crawl space. Unfortunately, he had been experiencing frozen pipes and also had a leak in his crawl space. However, the crawl space was especially hard to access due to the tight space, and he was unsure how to proceed. Luckily, Fogarty's Home Services' Home Comfort Specialist identified an immediate solution when they went to do the evaluation. They would need an outside access space for their crawl space as well as crawl space encapsulation to seal off and insulate the home. 

 

The Home Comfort Specialist and homeowner agreed that the best course of action was to install the Turtl™ Crawl Space access system. We first identified the best spot to dig in order to access the crawl space. We then dug down under the foundation and into the crawl space. We then installed the Turtl™, making sure to work around it while also using our other solutions. Luckily, the Turtl™ Crawl Space access system is an airtight door and a sealed access well in one durable unit. This highly specialized product is the only one of it’s kind manufactured anywhere and is perfect for it’s purpose. You can open the lid and crawl into your crawl space without getting wet or dirty. The Turtl™ even has a place for a lock on it, and will never rust, rot or need paint! It’s airtight and watertight* and you can jump on it without a problem! Result - An airtight, watertight, durable crawl space access that keeps your home clean and healthy. Lower energy bills. 

Floor Joist Open to Outside in Windsor, CT

Some homes or additions are designed with floors that have the outside air under them. Other times a home or addition was originally used as a summer home, porch or “three season room”, and was converted to all season heated space later. When the outside air flows under a floor it feels very cold and uncomfortable in the winter - especially with ceramic tile, linoleum or laminate floors. Since the floor is the surface of the room we are in contact with most, it’s very important to fix, in order to be comfortable. There are two issues - air leakage through the floor, and conductive heat loss through the floor, because heat moves from more to less through solid materials. Even if there is fiberglass batt insulation in the floor, because it sags down away from the sub floor, the same outside air gets over it (“thermal bypass”) rendering it useless.

The floor joist bays, whether hollow or insulated with batts, are “dense packed” with TruSoft™ cellulose insulation. “Dense packing” is Dr. Energy Saver’s special technique to pack the cellulose in so tightly that it stops air flow through the floor. The insulation can be installed by removing siding and drilling holes to insert a fill pipe, (holes are plugged and siding is reinstalled), or through the bottom of the floor. TruSoft™ fills all gaps and odd shaped cavities in the floor - even around pipes, wires and cross bridging. TruSoft™ is treated to be fire retardant, and pest and mold resistant. Dense packed TruSoft™ also quiets your floors dramatically, getting rid of that hollow floor sound. The result - Much warmer floors, less drafts and more comfortable rooms, quieter home, lower fuel and electric bills.

Insulate Exterior Walls to Make Home More Comfortable in Windsor, CT

Many older homes have no insulation in the exterior walls. The problems this causes are obvious. Heat flows from more (inside) to less (outside in winter) right through the walls, and the opposite in summer. Nealy all walls leak air, insulated or not, causing drafts. the cold wall surface cools interior air which then sinks and travels across the floor and up the warmer interior wall, and across the floor and up the warmer interior wall, and across the ceiling back to the exterior wall. The is called a "convective loop" and makes rooms feel even draftier. Results - cold, drafty rooms, uncomfortable home, heating and cooling systems run much more and need more service, difficult to keep house at comfortable temperature, high fuel and electric bills, dry home in winter, more dust/pollen, more humidity in the house in summer when air conditioned. Siding is removed temporarily as necessary and 2 ⁹⁄₁₆" holes are drilled through the wall sheathing. A fill tube is inserted up (and down) into wall cavities to not only fill, but dense pack the wall cavities. Dense packing is a technique that packs the insulation in very tightly - so tightly that all irregular shaped cavities and crevices in the wall cavities are filled, and air will not penetrate the dense packed cellulose. It's remarkable, and something that can't be achieved with fiberglass - not even close! Dense packed cellulose stops air flow through the wall and insulates. TruSoft™ Cellulose is treated to be highly fire, mold, and pest resistant. Holes are plugged and siding is put back. With wood siding, old nail holes and new nails may be noticeable on close inspection. Very small new nail heads will be visible on aluminum siding. (If specified, siding will not be removed, but drilled and plugged instead). Results - A less drafty, warmer, quieter, more comfortable house, less dust/pollen, house not so dry in winter, lower fuel/electric bills, heating system runs less - less maintenance. 

Make Basement Warmer With Foamax™ Insulation Board in Windsor, CT

Your poured concrete basement walls are buried in the cool earth and are perpetually cold - about 17°F cooler than we like the interior of our homes to be. In the winter, the part of the foundation that sticks up above the ground is much colder than that. Heat moves from more to less. The dense concrete has a lot of mass and heat from our basement constantly flows into and through the wall by conduction. You can never heat them up. If you have a furnace, boiler, or water heater in the basement, the heat that comes off this equipment is wasted - lost into the cold concrete, instead of warming the basement and floors above it. In the summer, warm humid air from outside hits your cold basement walls and condensation forms, supporting mold. Results - cold basement, cold floors above the basement, higher fuel bills, more difficult to heat the house. Foam insulation board is installed on your basement walls with Dr. Energy Saver's proprietary Foam-site fasteners. But not just any foam - Polyisocyanurate foam has the flame retardant properties to satisfy building codes to leave it exposed in a basement - unlike expanded or extruded polystyrene foam (EPS, XPS). In addition, the "polyiso" board has a foil facing to reflect heat so the insulation isn't doing all the work by itself. Results - warmer, more comfortable basement, warmer floors above basement, less condensation in the summertime, lower fuel bills, house is easier to heat. 

Insulating Attic in Windsor, CT

A local homeowner in Windsor reached out to us about their attic not being well insulated. There was pink insulation foam loosely scattered around the attic not even covering the corners. This is not doing anything for the home owner and the homeowner is suffering to keep energy in the home. 

 

Solution: 

The Dr. Energy saver solution is to rip out all the old useless insulation, Apply Moldx2 cleaner and MoldX2 Botanical. Then install a super platform with SilverGlo and sprayed the attic floor with TruSoft cellulose. This Attic is now fully insulated and will keep the home owner warm in the winter and cool in the summer.

Making a Home More Comfortable in Windsor, CT

These home owners in Windsor, CT Had called us to their home because they could not keep the living space at a comfortable temperature. When our building science specialist got to the home, he realized that this home had a couple of problems that were making this home hard to heat.

The biggest problem was the attic. It was severely under insulated and had no air sealing. To solve this, first thing we did was remove all of the old nasty insulation. Then, we air sealed the entire attic making sure we got every penetration through the drywall, every top plate, and every end plate. After we did that, we installed a catwalk going the length of the attic to give the homeowners a little bit of storage space and a place for them to walk if they ever had to go up there. The final thing to do was to blow our Trusoft cellulose insulation to an R-value of R-60. This is the recommended amount of insulation the department of energy says all home in New England should have. 

The next area of the home was the basement. We spray foamed the rim joist so that no cold air could get into the house from this location. Doing this and properly insulating the attic, will help tremendously with making this home a more comfortable space for these home owners and their kids to live. 

The last thing we did was dense pack the floor above the garage. Both of the bedrooms that they used are above the garage and they were always freezing cold in the winter and super hot in the summer. To fix this, we dense packed every single bay. Making sure to get all the way down the bays so there is no area cold air can get into the living space. 

Once we completed these treatments, this home is now so much more comfortable and energy efficient!
