Updating Insulation and Eliminating Rodent Problem in East Granby, CT

This homeowner in East Granby, CT called us to their home to upgrade their insulation. We conducted our full Home Energy evaluation and noticed very old inefficient fiberglass insulation in the attic. We also noticed some rodents who made themselves a home up there! We knew we needed to remove and upgrade this insulation to help these homeowners!
 
First, we removed all the old inefficient fiberglass insulation. This is where the rodents were living. Now we can properly air seal all of the top plates with foam and get to our next step. The air sealing is an important step in sealing off any penetrations rodents were able to enter in the first place. Finally, we blow in our Trusoft Cellulose insulation, which covers and fills in all odd shaped voids and gaps. Trusoft Cellulose insulation will repel rodents and pests from coming back into the home.  Now thanks to Dr. Energy Saver by Eco Energy Solutions this house has updated insulation and air sealing, and no more rodent issues!

Insulating an Attic with TruSoft™ Cellulose in West Hartford, CT

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! 

Basement Door in West Suffield,

This homeowner in West Suffield, CT had a problem with her cold and moist basement. One of our trained building scientists noticed she didn't have a basement door suitable to stop the outside elements from coming into her home. Our team got to work ripping out the old framing. After that was done we installed new pressure treated wood so the framing would not rot. once that was done we installed the new steel insulated door, and air sealed the gaps for an air tight seal. Now the basement will stay dryer and warmer for longer.

Replacing a Door in West Suffield, CT

This homeowner in West Suffield, CT called us wanting to make his basement warmer. He knew that it needed to be insulated, but he was not sure what was best. When our Home Comfort Specialist came out to the home, he noted that the door in the basement was allowing cold air to enter the basement, as it was quite thin. 

 

We had the perfect solution for this customer. We replaced the old door with an insulated exterior door. This door is insulated, and has a locking knob. Now, combined with our other solutions, the basement is much warmer!
