Duct Encapsulation in Attic in Bolton, CT

These homeowners in Bolton, CT were having a difficult time keeping their home comfortable. They have their heating and cooling system running through the attic, which, being an unconditioned space, is prone to extreme temperatures. Given those extremes, the system has to work harder to keep the air running through the ducts at the desired temperature despite the air around it.

We used our Tight n' True Duct encapsulation system to insulate the ducts. We started with our SilverGlo insulation board on the top side of the ducts. SilverGlo is a graphite infused EPS foam board with a radiant barrier, doing double the work to stop the transfer of heat. We then spray 1 inch of closed cell spray foam insulation on the sides of the ducts. The bottom of the ducts can't be sprayed, however, once we blow our TruSoft cellulose in the attic, covering much of the duct, the space will be buried. 

Thanks to Dr. Energy Saver by Eco Energy Solutions, the heating system doesn't have to work nearly as hard to keep the home comfortable, lowering energy costs.

Making Cold Floors Warmer in Hampden, MA

This homeowner in Hampden, MA called us out to their home for a Free Home Energy Evaluation to see how we could make their home more energy-efficient. They were having concerns with cold floors and drafty rooms. One thing we noticed was that the basement door to exit the home was very old, uninsulated, and inefficient. The hatch doors that cover them are completely uninsulated as well. This allows massive amounts of air to leak in and out of the home creating cold floors and drafts.

We removed the old, inefficient door. Next, we install a new insulated basement door with proper framing and weatherstripping. Now, this will stop air from leaking into or out of the home in this area.

Thanks to Dr. Energy Saver by Eco Energy solutions this home is one step closer to optimum energy efficiency.

Encapsulating a Crawlspace in Hampden, MA

This homeowner in Hampden, MA called us hoping to find a solution for her mold problem. When our Home Comfort Specialist arrived, he noted that the dirt crawl space was uninsulated and unencapsulated. This was fairly common for the time the home was built. However, building science has changed a lot in the intervening 80 years.

 

We were able to help this homeowner by utilizing our CleanSpace™ encapsulation system. The CleanSpace™ encapsulation system features dimpled plastic drainage matting, TerraBlock™ floor insulation, and SilverGlo™ insulation on the walls. It is then finished off with a CleanSpace™ crawlspace liner. This ensures an insulated, clean crawlspace that keeps the entire home more comfortable and less prone to mold and moisture. 

Eliminating Mold and Making a Basement Warmer in Belchertown, MA

This homeowner in Belchertown, MA was having issues with mold and uncomfortable temperatures in their basement. We removed all of their old, ineffective fiberglass insulation. Next, we sprayed our Mold-X mold killing spray to the affected areas. Then we use our spray foam insulation along the rim joists to stop cold air from entering the home. Now we can install our Foamax insulation boards along the concrete walls.
