Comfenergy Before & After Photos

This Great Falls VA home had an addition built that was less comfortable than the rest of the rooms in the house.  Our Home Performance Sales Pro Carl visited the home and performed a full inspection of the space to see how we could help improves things for the homeowner.  Carl determined that the existing insulation in the attic space above was insufficient and that there was a lack of an air seal which was allowing conditioned air to escape.  Our production team removed the old insulation, air sealed the space with Zyp Foam and then installed Tru Soft blown cellulose insulation.  

This sunroom in Fairfax, VA was very uncomfortable. Our team spray foamed the ceiling to make this room much more comfortable and energy efficient! 

We often find attics that need to have insulation upgrades but cannot support the new material without it potentially moving around the attic.  Blown insulation can fill up empty spaces in an attic but it if is not contained, it can shift when the home owner or service technicians need to access the attic for different reasons.  We often build out these type of support walls to create insulation damns, holding the material in place and allowing for clear access to navigate the attic in other areas.  The height and angle of the walls can allow for different levels of insulation to be blown in.  

This home in Fairfax VA had a multiple stage project to make the home more energy efficient and more comfortable.   One step was the encapsulation of the HVAC duct system in the attic with Spray Foam.  The existing ductwork had several holes at the joints where air was allowed to escape, making the HVAC system less efficient and requiring it to work harder and create more conditioned air.  The spray foam covering it protects the air from escaping and keeps attic temperatures from impacting the conditioned (cooled/heated) air travelling inside.  This will reduce the amount of energy used by the HVAC system and allow for better passage to the rooms it was intended to reach.  

This home in Fairfax VA had roof leaks that were allowing water and excessive moisture into the attic which resulted in the early stages of mildew and mold.  We developed a project to help fix the attic that involved several steps and coordinating around other services providers that would eventually fix the roof, remove and clean any mold and then paint the inside of the attic after we removed all of the existing insulation.  Once painted and ready for new insulation, we used Zyp Foam to air seal the attic floor before finally blowing insulation in to cover the surfaces and properly insulate the home.
