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.
A homeowner in Wall Township, NJ had an uninsulated and leaky whole-house fan in their attic. Uninsulated and leaky fans allow conditioned air to escape into the attic or unconditioned spaces, leading to comfort issues, increased energy waste and higher energy bills. To address this issue, we installed our David Lewis Whole House Fan Cover on top of the fan. By pumpkin cutting the top and installing hinges, we created a functional door with a string for easy opening. This allows the homeowner to control airflow, opening the fan hatch to let air in when needed. When closed, the fan door seals the cover, providing insulation and preventing leaks. Now, this homeowner enjoys a properly insulated and sealed house fan, reducing attic leaks, improving home comfort, and saving energy.
This customer couldn't take it anymore! His bedroom and bathroom each bordered one side of the stairwell and they both were freezing in the winter and steaming hot in the summer along with the stairwell itself. He did the best he could purchasing pink, flimsy foam board to lay on the kneewalls in the attic. Even after his own band-aid solution, he was too uncomfortable in his own home. However, he caught a break when he stumbled upon Dr. Energy Saver! We were able to provide a simple, yet effective solution for our friend in Tinton Falls. We air sealed any gaps then insulated the kneewalls with reflective barrier foam board, resulting in a more comfortable bedroom and bathroom for the customer.
A homeowner in Tinton Falls, NJ contacted us because their house had comfort issues. The owner expressed that winter was fast approaching. Our customer wanted relief from the cold drafty rooms and the cold floors.
To resolve the homeowner’s comfort issues we needed to create a thermal barrier in the crawl space. By spray foaming the rim joists we have eliminated unwanted air from leaking into the crawl space. Next we installed our SilverGlo rigid insulation panels along the exterior foundational walls. Notice in the after picture on the left side, the concrete wall is exposed because this is an interior wall. We then install our CleanSpace Encapsulation system to the ground and fasten the liner to the edge of the walls. After we use our orange ZypFoam sealant to seal the seams of the SilverGlo insulation panels we spray foamed any exposed exterior walls and seams of the liner.
The homeowner now enjoys a crawl space that now has a thermal barrier from the outside air and creates a much more comfortable and energy efficient home.
A homeowner in Eatontown, NJ had a cantilever that was not properly insulated. The cantilever was leaking air into the house creating cold drafts in the winter and hot stuffy air during the summer. When our team of experts inspected the cantilever we found the insulation was inadequate, did not fill the bay, and could not stop the air flow.
Using our 4” thick SilverGlo foam board insulation we block each joist bay. Each block is sealed in with expanding foam. We have now completely blocked outside air from leaking into the home. Finally, we installed a 4” thick SilverGlo insulation board against the underside of the floor deck and sealed with foam.
This homeowner now has a properly insulated cantilever that will provide a more comfortable and energy efficient home.
