The Attic is the Worst Place for Ducts

Attics can be 20 degrees in winter and 130 degrees in summer! 

Your vented attic is the worst possible place to locate ducts. Attics are the extreme opposite temperature of the air your ducts are trying to move to your rooms. Ductwork also has lots of gaps and holes that can leak into the attic. The air you paid to heat and cool and want to go to your rooms leaks out of the ducts into the attic, lost forever, or is exposed to major opposing temperature differences in the attic.

Duct encapsulation and sealing gaps and joints in the ductwork can prevent air loss and help your system run more efficiently. It keeps your ductwork at a steady temperature, meaning the air moving through the ducts isn't affected and will change the preferred temperature of your home more quickly.

Insulation Upgrade in Stafford, VA

Homeowners in Stafford, VA had old, contaminated insulation in their attic that was ineffective. Over time, insulation can wear down. Old age, harsh weather conditions, and critters can degrade the material, rendering it pretty much useless.

The Comfenergy crew air sealed the attic and then installed fresh new cellulose insulation. Now it takes less energy to heat and cool this home, leading to lower utility bills and even temperatures throughout the house.

New insulation in Reston attic

This customer in Reston called about rodents in their attic and some issues with uneven temperatures throughout their home. Carl Depner went out to do an inspection and identified several potential services to help with the situation. A removal of all old fiberglass insulation was done along with removing any existing rodents and or waste. The floor of the attic was air sealed to help keep conditioned air inside the living space of the home, MoldX fogging spray was done to help reduce the possibility of mold in the future and the entire attic was covered in TruSoft Cellulose insulation. This will all help to better control the temperature inside of the home and reduce the possibility of rodents returning to the attic.
