Solving Energy Loss from Can Lights in Oakhurst, NJ
Challenge
This homeowner in Oakhurst, NJ, also faces energy loss due to numerous can lights installed in the ceiling. These lights are mounted in the attic floor, requiring large holes to be cut through the ceiling of the rooms below. As a result, conditioned air escapes through the gaps and holes around the can lights, leaking into the attic. With many can lights throughout the home, the energy losses quickly add up. This constant air leakage leads to higher energy bills and causes drafts, making the rooms below colder.
Solution
Fortunately, we have the perfect solution for this homeowner! By installing a TiteShell—a fireproof, airtight cover—over the can lights, we can greatly improve both energy efficiency and comfort. Sealing the seams and gaps with air sealant or spray foam ensures that air leakage around the can lights is completely eliminated. This upgrade enhances the homeowner’s comfort while reducing heating and cooling costs.
