Skylights are beautiful, but can increase heat loss/gain tremendously, just like in this Leesburg, VA home. Especially if they are not properly air sealed and insulated on the back side of them in the attic above.
This Leesburg VA home was suffering from poor insulation that failed to provide adequate coverage. This was causing discomfort to the homeowner by leaving rooms too hot in the summer and too cold in the winter. When our sales professional Eric visited the home, he provided a full home evaluation and found a variety of solutions for the homeowner to choose from. The homeowner ended up deciding they wanted to have all of the old insulation removed and install new high-quality TruSoft cellulose insulation. TruSoft offers better coverage for a more even insulation job than the previous insulation and will last longer with less chance of rodents in the space due to being coated with a safe, animal deterrent.
Part of this Leesburg VA attic project included building a new service deck to allow access to the HVAC unit in the attic. This will help to keep the insulation contained and let the service technician freely walk to and from the HVAC unit.
A roofing company contacted us to insulate a flat roof during the process of them replacing it. These pictures show the before and after of Comfenergy's portion of the project.
