Before & After Photos

This homeowner in Simsbury, CT called us out to see what she could do to make her home more energy efficient. When our building science specialist got to the home, he started his inspection and found the problem areas of the home. One of the areas that needed some work was the attic. Attics are the most important area of a home to look at when making a home energy efficient. This is because almost all of the heat you pay for leaves your home through the attic. To stop this problem from occurring any longer, the first thing we have to do is remove the old fiberglass insulation. Next step is to air seal every single penetration in the attic. This is very important because what we have to remember is that insulation does not stop air leak! After we air seal everything in the attic, we start to build the catwalk. The catwalk will let the homeowners have a little extra storage and have an easy way to move around in the attic. Once this is done, we can start to blow our cellulose insulation. The department of energy recommends homes in New England to have R-60 in the attic. This means that we will blow 20 inches of our trusoft cellulose into the attic. Now that we have completed this part of the home, this house will be more comfortable and more energy efficient!

This home owner in Simsbury, CT called us to his home to see what we could do to make his home office warmer. When we got to the home our building science specialist saw that there was a crawlspace with a bilco door attached to it! This was making the office very cold.

To fix this we encapsulated the crawl space. After we did that we had to finish this space off by installing a basement door. To do this we first build the frame of the door. Then we custom cut the door to the correct size for the opening we had. Then we properly installed the door, air sealed any gaps, and properly weatherstripped the door. 

Once Dr Energy Saver by Eco Energy Solutions completed this treatment, this home owner will now be able to work in comfort in his home!

Insulated attic in Simsbury, CT with Trusoft cellulose. 

Mold in your attic is not normal, not healthy, and a sign that the humidity in your attic is above 75%. Fogarty's Home Services used Mold-X to neutralize and prevent the mold from producing any further spores.  

This homeowner in Simsbury, CT called us out to their home to replace old inefficient fiberglass insulation. Especially without air sealing, Fiberglass is not an efficient form of insulation. The attic also had some mold in it, which can be very unhealthy.

We removed all of the old, fiberglass insulation and properly disposed of the materials.  Next, we fog our Mold-X treatment throughout the attic to neutralize any nooks and crannies that can be affected. Now we are ready for the next step. We seal up all top plates and any areas where air can escape from the home into the attic and be lost with foam. Now we are ready to blow our Truoft Cellulose insulation into the attic. Cellulose will fill in any odd-shaped voids and gaps.

Now, thanks to Dr. Energy Saver by Eco Energy Solutions, this home is more energy efficient!
