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

We are in Sea Girt, NJ with a homeowner who contacted us about an uncomfortable, cold and drafty house. When our team inspected the owner’s attic we saw old fiberglass insulation, gaps or open soffits, leaky ducts and inadequate insulation.

To solve our customers issues we spray foamed the leaky ducts and installed our SilverGlo insulation panels over the metal ductwork. This prevents any heat radiating off the metal ducts and eliminates any leaky ducts. Once our team spray foams the rim joists we then use our orange ZypFoam sealant to air seal all the seams, gaps and open soffits or holes. We build dams with wooden planks to contain our TruSoft Cellulose insulation. Finally, our team blows-in our TruSoft Cellulose insulation and then uses our orange ZypFoam sealant to seal any seams on the attic decking.

Our customer now enjoys a clean attic with a catwalk that can be used for storage. With the proper insulation and techniques from our team, we have eliminated any drafts or uncomfortable rooms in the owners house.

The homeowner in Sea Girt, NJ, experienced comfort issues on the second floor. Upon conducting a free inspection, we discovered that the attic was in poor condition. Our team took action by air sealing the attic using ZypFoam sealant, sealing and encapsulating leaky ducts, installing can light covers to seal the can lights, adding SiverGlo rigid foam boards to insulate adjoining walls, properly incorporating baffle vents for ventilation, and blowing in TruSoft cellulose insulation to achieve an R-60 value. These measures significantly enhanced the home's comfort and energy efficiency for the homeowner.

While inspecting this home in Little Silver, NJ, we discovered that the attic was not properly air-sealed, and the supply and return ducts were leaking conditioned air. Additionally, the existing insulation was inadequate to effectively insulate the attic and the home. To address these issues, we encapsulated and sealed the ducts using SilverGlo foam boards to eliminate air leaks and to protect them from the summer heat. Next, we air-sealed the attic floor and constructed wooden retaining walls to contain blown-in TruSoft cellulose insulation to R-60. We also created catwalks for easy access to the mechanicals. As a result, this homeowner now enjoys a more comfortable home with improved energy efficiency.

This customer was feeling cold in her bedroom because a  kneewall that borders the attic space was allowing a lot of cold air to move into the room because the wall was not properly air sealed or insulated. A large cavity next to the building support also allowed a lot of cool air to freely move through the attic from below. By insulating the kneewall with 2" reflective radiant barrier foam board, Dr. Energy Saver was able to keep the cold air out of the customer's bedroom. Sealing off the cavity with foam board as well slowed the movement of air through the attic dramatically.

This attic kneewall was leaking a considerable amount of air into this customer's home in Red Bank, NJ due to a lack of insulation.  In order to stop this problem, Dr. Energy Saver sheathed the wall in 2" polyisocyanurate foam board and sealed it with expanding spray foam to create an air-sealed barrier between the attic and the inside of the house.  This fix has left the homeowner feeling more comfortable and happy about saving money on his energy bills for the rest of the time he owns the house.
