Comfenergy Before & After Photos

One of the most important things to do before insulating an attic is to air seal it.  Here is a before/after of an air gap that we found and sealed with our Spray Foam in Lovettsville, VA.

This home was leaking conditioned air from the HVAC system into the attic, causing the temperatures in the living areas of the home to be uncomfortable.  We cleared out all of the old insulation, air sealed the ceiling, and put in TruSoft Cellulose insulation to keep the attic functioning the way it was intended.  In addition to the improvement in insulation, the material used will help to reduce and deter the presence of rodents in the attic.  

A great way to improve the comfort and energy performance of a home is to apply Spray Foam to the rim joists at the top of the basement foundation walls.  This space can often allow outside air and temperatures to impact the home.  Cold or hot air from outside can cause temperature fluctuations and can carry in dust and allergens that can impact the air quality in the home.  50% of the air inside of a home comes from the lowest points of open air access in the home so creating a low point that is not in or near a basement can keep moisture out as well.  Our production crew applied Spray Foam to this entire basement at all of the rim joists and created and air seal along with better insulation.  

As a contractor who specializes in insulation services, we often come across older homes that have not had their attic inspected in years if not decades.  Over time insulation can settle or shift and become less effective or not effective at all.  Our Home Performance Sales Pros are able to identify when this has happened and develop projects and solutions to fix it.  This Lovettsville VA attic had years of settled insulation and dust, barely covering the surface of the attic in some spots.  Our production team built up damning walls to hold a higher R Value of insulation and keep it from shifting over the years to come.  Tru Soft blown cellulose insulation will last in this attic for years to come.  

This Midland, VA homeowner was looking to find a way to make the top floor rooms on the back of the house warmer and less drafty in the winter. Upon a full evaluation by Comfenergy, we found the main culprit to be the cantilever on the back side of the house allowing cold air up under the floors on the back side of the house.

Comfenergy opened the rear cantilever to find almost no insulation whatsoever.  Plus there were no real rim joists to slow or stop the air from entering beneath the floors above. Comfenergy used SilverGlo foam boards to create a rim joist. We then used closed cell spray foam to air seal and insulate the cantilever.

The rooms on the back side of the house are nice and warm now!
