Before & After Photos

This homeowner in Deerfield, MA had been living with ineffective insulation and finally reached us when she realized it was not doing as good of a job insulating the home as it could have been.

We removed the old, soiled insulation and now with a fresh clean slate, we can go in and seal any air leaks that were previously buried under the batts of insulation, which did nothing to stop the the convective loop of heated air from inside the home. We then blew in 20 inches of our TruSoft cellulose, which over the following days settles down to 17 inches, or R70.

Thanks to Dr. Energy Saver by Eco Energy Solutions, this home will be far easier to heat and keep comfortable this winter.

This homeowner in Ellington, CT called us out to their home to take a look as some problems that have been experiencing. The problem was their kitchen, their kitchen was very cold and drafty and they could not figure out why. They also had extremely high energy bills due to the amount of heat they were losing. We went to the home to perform a Full Home energy Evaluation to figure out why they were having this issue. We knew we needed to help these customers become more comfortable in a room of their home that they spend a lot of time in. While conducting the Energy Evaluation we noticed that in their basement, directly under their kitchen the walls were full of fiberglass insulation. Fiberglass insulation is soft and fluffy, and allows a great deal of cold air to travel through. Because of this it does not make for a great insulation choice. Air was seeping through this fiberglass and up into this homeowners kitchen, creating a cold and drafty living space.  We knew exactly what we had to do to make these homeowners more comfortable, and energy efficient in their home.

The first thing we need to do in this homeowners basement was the nasty task of removing all of the old, fiberglass insulation. We properly bag up and dispose of this insulation and bring it off site. Next, we install our Polyisocyanurate foam insulation board on the basement walls. This isn’t just an ordinary foam board- Polyisocyanurate foam has the flame retardant properties to satisfy building codes to leave it exposed in the basement. It also has a foil facing to reflect heat so that the insulation isn’t doing all the work by itself. We make sure these boards are tightly secured with Dr. Energy Savers proprietary Foam-Tite Fasteners. This will drastically reduce this customers energy bills, and the cold, drafty kitchen.

This customer in Ellington, CT called us out because of a concern they were having in their home. Their concern was that they had very old, ineffective fiberglass insulation in the attic. Fiberglass insulation is super fluffy, and is not able to properly insulate a home on its own. Due to this, this home was way colder than it should be this winter. This was caused by the lack of proper insulation. Without proper insulation air can leak into your attic and out of your home, making it difficult and costly to keep a home warm.

To fix this, we use our SuperPlatform treatment. First we need to remove the existing insulation.  Our installers remove all of the old insulation, bag it up, and properly dispose of the materials. Since this home contains an HVAC system in their attic we have make sure there is a proper walkway, or catwalk in the attic. This makes it so that service can be done correctly and safely in a space where there are mechanics.  Next, we lay our 4" SilverGlo foam board across the wooded walkway. This will increase the insulation value by 24%. We want to make sure that none of the blown in insulation we are installing will get on to our new walkway. Next, we have to install plywood over the foam board held in place by long screws and washers. Following this step, we dense pack TruSoft cellulose insulation into any space beneath the catwalk that is not filled.

This homeowner in Ellington, CT called us looking to get his bulkhead door replaced. An inspector recommended it be replaced. Additionally, it was the door original to the house, and was decades old and rusting. 

Fogarty's Home Services was able to help this customer. We were able to install a beautiful new bulkhead door. We caulked around the edges and installed flashing behind the door to ensure a tight fit. Now, it looks amazing, and the homeowner is happy! 

This homeowner in Colchester, CT was having trouble keeping their home comfortable. They had their HVAC system running through their attic. Given the extreme temperatures in attics, the system has to work double time to keep the air running through the ducts cool in the summer and warm in the winter.

To help keep the ducts safe from those extremes, we used our Tight N' True duct encapsulation system. The spray foam air seals as it insulates to make sure no energy is lost. Once done and cured, we are able to blow our TruSoft cellulose into the attic, right up against those ducts.

Thanks to Dr. Energy Saver by Eco Energy Solutions, this home will stay comfortable and save money doing so!
