Dave Hoh's Home Comfort & Energy Experts Before & After Photos

This customer in Brick, NJ just had a new HVAC system installed by another company that does HVAC work.  Unfortunately, this company did not really care about the efficiency of the ducts that were supposed to carry the system's air into the home.  And the brand new system that was installed, was effectively useless.  The homeowners did not feel any more comfortable than they did before, defeating the purpose of installing a new system to get more comfortable.  

Unsure of what to do now, the customer reached out to Dr. Energy Saver Jersey Shore for any solutions to his problem.  We had just the thing, encapsulating their ducts with 2" of reflective polyiso board and 2" of expanding spray foam to fully seal one of the leakiest parts of the system.  Encapsulating these ducts will protect the conditioned air that the system is creating by completely air seal ensuring them so none will leak out into the attic before it gets to the inside of your house.  Additionally, now that the air is being kept in the ducts, it is also insulated by 2" of foam with an R-Value(resistance to heat movement) of R-13, rather than just an 1/8" piece of sheet metal with virtually no R-Value.  This left the system operating more efficiently while making a tremendous difference in comfort in the home. 

When inspecting the attic in Brick Township, NJ, we discovered insufficient insulation. The existing insulation proved ineffective, failing to provide any meaningful insulation for the house. This left the homeowner with discomfort and resulted in higher energy bills. Our team replaced the old insulation, sealed the attic floors to prevent air leaks, and installed wooden retaining walls to contain the TruSoft cellulose insulation we blew in. These measures aim to enhance the home's energy efficiency and comfort.

In Brick Township, NJ, a homeowner faced inadequate insulation in their attic kneewalls, leading to discomfort throughout the year. Exposed fiberglass batts failed to seal out air, leaving the upper and lower levels chilly in winter and overheated in summer. To address this issue, we implemented a solution by installing SilverGlo rigid foam boards along the rafters, blocking the ceiling joists with SilverGlo, and sealing the kneewall with spray foam. The result? Consistent warmth in winter, cooler rooms in summer, reduced drafts, and improved energy efficiency for a more comfortable home overall.

In Brick, NJ, a homeowner struggled with rooms that were too hot in the summer and too cold in the winter, leading to discomfort and higher energy bills. They also needed better insulation to protect their attic storage from temperature fluctuations. We solved these problems by installing SilverGlo insulation boards on the underside of the roof deck. Previously, outside air entered through the soffits, circulated in the attic, and seeped back into the home, making it difficult to maintain comfort and use the attic for storage. The SilverGlo installation effectively insulated the attic and redirected airflow, ensuring it vents outward rather than into the home. With the SuperAttic system in place, the home is now energy-efficient, comfortable year-round, and features a well-insulated attic perfect for storage.

This homeowner in Brick, NJ, struggled with discomfort due to cold drafts, stuffy rooms, and soaring energy bills, prompting them to seek our assistance. During our free home inspection, we discovered that their attic was inadequately insulated with deteriorating fiberglass insulation, which contributed to their issues. Upon pulling back the insulation, we identified improper air sealing and blocked soffit vents exacerbated by the fiberglass. To fix this, we air-sealed the floors, sealed leaky ducts, properly installed baffle vents, and applied TruSoft cellulose insulation to achieve an optimal R-60 value. These improvements significantly enhanced both comfort and energy efficiency in their home.
