Challenge

This Leesburg, VA homeowner had just moved into this home from a warmer climate. They were interested in generally making this older home more energy efficient, safer, healthier, and prepared for their first COLD winter in Virginia.

Solution

Comfenergy put together a plan to make all of this happen. We started by removing old insulation in the attic, then air sealing and installing a new "super deck" storage deck, and adding R49 insulation throughout.  Rim joists in the basement were sealed to prevent cold air from entering and making the basement cold.  We also installed new, safer pull down stairs to the attic and a new sump pump to keep the house dry!

All of these improvements also made the HVAC equipment run less and made the house use less energy!
