Before & After Photos

This homeowner in Springfield, MA called us hoping to get his attic insulation removed. He wanted to have an electrician do some work in his home, including in the attic. To do that, though, he needed all of the fiberglass insulation removed from his attic. The insulation was blown-in fiberglass, with some additional plastic-wrapped batts of fiberglass insulation added on top of some areas. 

We were able to help this customer. We first bagged the batt insulation and removed it from the home. After that, we were able to use a large vacuum to remove the loose fiberglass as well as the leftover pieces from the batt insulation. The hose from the vacuum was routed out a window and into our truck, where the loose insulation was bagged and sealed. Now, we will be able to dispose of the old, dirty insulation, and the homeowner will be able to do the necessary work in his home before re-insulating his attic! 

Attic Insulation job to help make rooms warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer.

This homeowner in Springfield, MA called us hoping that we would be able to help him with his attic. He wanted to be able to finish it, and needed a solution that would keep his family comfortable. Vented attics are hostile places - 30˚F in winter and 125˚F in the summer. They are very bad places to store things, and the worst place to locate ducts because they are the extreme opposite temperature as the air in the ducts that the homeowner paid to heat or cool. The attic floor allows air from inside the house to leak into the attic where it is lost. For each cubic foot of air that leaks out, a cubic foot of air from the outside enters the bottom of the house, making the lower levels cold and drafty. Heat from the house in the attic melts snow on the roof where it refreezes at the eaves causing destructive ice damming. In the summer, the sun heats the roof to 160˚F, which radiates to the attic and then to the ceilings and rooms. Results - Major heat loss to the attic from house and ducts in winter, and heat gain in summer, uncomfortable rooms, more drafts upstairs and downstairs, higher fuel/electric bills.

We had the perfect solution for this customer. In this solution, we install our SuperAttic™ system in the attic. SilverGlo™ EPS foam insulation board with graphite is installed on the underside of the roof deck. The graphite gives it superior R-value and a foil face on both sides reflects heat out in summer and back in during winter. The roof is still vented, kept cold in winter to prevent ice damming. In summer, excess heat is vented out. The attic is now part of the conditioned space in the home, and ducts in the attic are no longer in a hostile environment. The attic is clean, less dusty and suitable for storage. Results - The home is less drafty, warmer in winter and cooler in summer, lower fuel and electric bills, less dust.

Old moldy insulation was removed in a homeowner's basement and replaced with Foamax insulation boards on the walls and Thermal Dry Plank Flooring. This basement insulation and installation helped with making the basement moisture-resistant and preventive for future mold growth and more energy efficient. 

This homeowner contacted us to make her newly purchased 1929 home more comfortable.  Our team insulated the rim joist in the basement to reduce heat loss and the infiltration of cold air.  The rim joist in most homes is seldom insulated and never air sealed.  We used our two part expanding spray foam to seal all air leaks and insulate this important area of her home.  Our spray foam has a high insulation value per inch of R7 and it expands, sealing all cracks and gaps.  

Thanks to Dr. Energy Saver by Eco Energy Solutions, his home will be more comfortable year round and the homeowner will have lower energy costs.
