Optimal Attic Insulation with Blown-in Cellulose in Colts Neck, NJ

This homeowner in Colts Neck, NJ, had an attic with insufficient insulation, resulting in ineffective temperature control and higher energy bills. The existing fiberglass insulation was below the proper R-value and provided minimal insulation. Additionally, one of the trunk lines in the duct system had poor insulation, was not connected properly, and was leaking conditioned air into the attic. To address these issues, we first sealed the attic with ZypFoam sealant to create a thermal barrier and prevent air leakage, a crucial step before adding insulation to ensure maximum efficiency. We then replaced the trunk line with a properly insulated and correctly connected one, sealing the seams to eliminate leakage. Wooden retaining walls were installed to contain the new insulation. Finally, we blew in TruSoft cellulose insulation to an optimal R-60 level. TruSoft is fire-resistant, mold-resistant, and pest-resistant, providing long-lasting protection. The result is a more comfortable and energy-efficient home for the homeowner.
