Making a Home More Energy Efficient in Enfield, CT

This homeowner in Enfield, CT called us out to their home to update the insulation in the home they just moved into. We noticed they had no insulation in their basement! Along the rim joists around the perimeter of the home in the basement, a lot of air is able to escape out of and enter the home. Since the cold, concrete walls of the basement are buried in the ground they tend to be about 17° cooler than than your home should be. In the summer this allows warm, humid air into your basement, hitting the cold concrete walls. This will cause condensation, supporting mold, which can be dangerous!

We knew we had to help this homeowner! First we prep the home and protect any personal belongs from during our work! Next, we get right to it! We install our spray foam insulation along the perimeter of the home on the rim joist. Spray foam expands to fill all cracks and joints where air was previously able to escape or enter the home! 

Thanks to Dr. Energy Saver, these homeowners are more comfortable, happy, and more energy efficient in their homes!
