Challenge

This Sterling, VA homeowner was looking to improve the energy efficiency of their home. A full comfort and energy evaluaiton was performed and it was determined that there was a ton of air leakage in the home at the attic level.

Solution

The existing insulation was removed, the attic was air sealed, and new R60 TruSoft cellulose was installed. This customer even noticed their HVAC running less because the heated and cooled air wasn't leaving the home as quickly.

Project Summary

Evaluator: Corey Hatcher

This Sterling, VA homeowner was looking to lower their utility bills.

The existing fluffy, fiberglass insulation was uneven, and it allows a tremendous amount of "wind washing" to pass through it. Very inefficient at holding air in or keeping air out.
