Comfenergy Before & After Photos

This Boston, VA homeowner had issues staying warm in the winter and cool in the summer. A FREE comfort evaluation by Comfenergy revealed, among other things, an HVAC ducting system located in the attic that was both leaky and not insulated.  The hot air was leaking into the attic in the winter. The cold air was becoming re-heated in the summer. Not only was this causing discomfort, but it was making their utility bills go literally through the roof!!

Comfenergy encapsulated the attic ducting system to seal it from those air leaks. This keeps all of their air in the home!  It also insulates the air travelling through the ducting system so that it comes out of the vents at the right temperature to stay comfortable.

Homeowners in Boston, Va have a farm and wanted to insulate the walls in their barn. One of our evaluators, Pedro, determined that closed cell spray foam would do the best job at insulating this space. Closed cell spray foam adheres to all surfaces, expands in place, and air cannot pass through it. It has an R value of 6.3 per inch and with it's ability to stop air flow, it is superior insulation. One inch of closed cell foam sprayed in place is worth many inches of other insulation materials. This is why spray foam is used in most "zero energy" homes. 

This Flint Hill, VA homeowner always had a cold basement, specifically their laundry area.  Presently, it was insulated with loose fiberglass batts pinned to the wall. This neither stops air from traveling into the home, nor provides much of a thermal barrier. The rim joists at the top of the wall were also merely insulated with fiberglass batts.

Comfenergy put together a solution that was effective, and appealing to the eye!  The fiberglass was removed and disposed of. Thermax (polyisocyanurate) boards were attached to the walls, with foam and tape sealing the gaps. Then, the rim joists were sprayed with closed cell spray foam to air seal and insulate them too.

Now the homeowner can perform laundry duties no matter what time of year it is!!! 

This Linden, VA homeowner was hving trouble keeping the top floor cool in the summer.  After a thorough comfort evaluation by Comfenergy it was determined that their HVAC ducting system was leaky and poorly insulated.  The air coming into the rooms was actually higher than the thermostat setting.  

Hard to keep a room 72 if the air you're pumping into it is 85!!!

This Linden, VA homeowner had mold growing on the drywall in the garage ceiling that was causd by the HVAC duct work above the drywall sweating in the summer time.  This duct sweating is caused by hot/humid air hitting the cold metal ducting.  This makes the air hit dew point and sweat.  Then, it dripped on their drywall and over time caused mold to grow.

Comfenergy removed and disposed of the dryall where the mold was growing.  Then, we completely encased the metal ducting with closed cell spray foam to air seal it and protect it from the hot/humid air entering the cavity the duct runs through.
