Challenge

This Lignum, VA homeowner was looking to make their home warmer, less drafty, and more energy efficient this winter.  A full evaluation by Comfenergy showed a tremendous amount of air leakage throughout the floor of the attic.

Solution

Comfenergy removed the existing, nasty insulation from the attic.  A complete air sealing was performed so that the heated air from the home stayed in the home longer.  Can lights were sealed, and the skylights were sprayed foamed using a closed cell spray foam.  New soffit air baffles were installed to ensure proper ventilation of the attic. Last but not least, new R60 Tru Soft cellulose was installed for a great thermal barrier in the attic.

Now the house is warmer, less drafty, and mush more efficient!!!  Another job well done by the Comfenergy team!!
