This Harpers Ferry WVA home has an enclosed room/deck area that was too cold in the winters and too hot in the summers. The homeowners called to see if we could help make it more comfortable. After performing a Home Performance Inspection, our Sales Pro Jonathan was able to identify a need for better insulation below the room. The existing batt, rolled insulation was falling loose from the flooring and had gaps where the hot and cold air from outside was able to move into the floor above. Jonathan recommended the use of spray foam to air seal and insulate the spaces between the frame for the deck/floor. This will keep the space more comfortable and reduce the energy cost to heat or cool the room.
This Round Hill VA home had issues with condensation forming on the HVAC ducts due to temperature variations in the rooms the ducts were passing through. This issue is known as "Duct Sweating" and can lead to stained or damaged drywall as well as mildew or mold growth. After calling us to help with their home concerns, our Home Performance Sales Pro Pedro went out to perform a whole home inspection and advised on having the HVAC ducts encapsulated with spray foam. This service would protect the conditioned air travelling through the ducts and reduce the chance of any future duct sweating.
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.
Warrenton homeowner received spray foam insulation and trusoft insulation
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.
