A homeowner in Gainesville, VA had an upper floor that was always uncomfortable, especially in the summer. The AC ran constantly but it never felt cool enough in the rooms upstairs. Comfenergy removed the old inefficient attic insulation, air sealed, and blew in cellulose insulation, covering the ductwork in the attic as well. Now the top floor of this Gainesville house is much more comfortable and more energy efficient too.
The existing insulation in Falls Church, VA was piled deep, but there was air leakage, non-consistent coverage, low spots, and it was just nasty!!!
We removed all of the old insulation, air sealed any leakage points, and blew in new TruSoft blown-in cellulose insulation for a nice, thick, even coverage.
This is a before and after of an attic which has been freshly insulated with blow-in TruSoft insulation.
These before/after pictures are of Rcok Wool insulation being wrapped around a furnace flue pipe in the attic. This rock wool is a flame resistant type insulation material that keeps the heat away from the fiberglass or cellulose insulation. Thus, protecting the house from catching fire!!!
These before and after pics show what an empty attic looks like with new soffit air baffles installed.....just waiting on fresh, new TruSoft cellulose.
