This home in Warrenton VA needed to have its attic better insulated. The home was uncomfortable on the top floors and the homeowner was paying higher energy costs than they should have. A Comfenergy Production Team came out to the home and removed all the existing insulation, used Zyp Foam to air seal the space and the blew in Tru Soft Cellulose Insulation. Tru Soft is fire safe, non harmful to humans and is treated with a compound that makes mice or other rodents want to leave the area it is in. This home is now better prepared to hold in the conditioned air created by the HVAC system and will cost less money to heat or cool.
The homeonwer living in The Plains, VA was having trouble reducing the humidity in their home all year round. During the comfort and energy evaluation it was found that the humidity source was the dirt floor crawl space allowing the humidity from the Earth to rise through the house.
Comfenergy installed dimple matting, Terra Block floor insulation, CleanSpace 20 mil vapor barrier, and then closed cell spray foam insulation. Now the humidity can be controlled as it is not allowed to enter the home.
This Purcellville homeowner was looking for a great way to insulate the basement and have it prepped to finish before putting it on the market for sale. They didn't want to finish the basement completely, but wanted it "ready to finish" so the buyer could build it out as the wished.
Comfenergy found the ultimate solution by using Basement to Beautiful wall panels. These wall panels are insulated with SilverGlo foam and have the metal studs already built into them. Each insulated Basement to Beautiful wall panel is held in place with foam spray insulation, and then secured using long bolts. There are 3 distinct advantages to these wall panels. 1) Once they are installed, the room is ready to be finished because the framing is built in. 2) They provide moisture intrusion control. 3) The Basement to Beautiful panels are infused with anti-microbial materials and will not mold nor mildew.
This Purcellville VA homeowner had several very old basement windows. We were able to change them out with some new energy-efficient windows.
This before/after slection comes from Bealton, VA. The room on the other side of this wall was hot in the summer and cold in the winter. Thermal imagery from the room side showed a ton of thermal bridging which was making the room uncomfortable. Comfenergy used a closed cell spray foam to solve the problem.
