This homeowner from Ludlow, MA experienced cold, drafty rooms and heat loss during the winter months. They were getting frequent deliveries followed by high fuel bills. After an evaluation and inspection, we found old insulation and many air leaks.
We started to remove the fiberglass insulation and realized that it was not a properly installed. This added to the ineffectiveness and warranty of the material. After we completed the removal, we air sealed and insulated all the drafts and small spaces using our foam insulation. We followed up by blowing in our Dr. Energy Savers TruSoft cellulose insulation for that final touch.

This homeowner in Ludlow, MA was working towards getting her home in better condition. She knew that the crawlspace had not been well maintained and knew that it had to get an overhaul. An improperly insulated and air sealed crawlspace can lead to cold floors and even mold if left unchecked.
We began by cleaning out the old insulation and any animal droppings that were present in the crawlspace. We then installed our SilverGlo EPS foam board on the walls, installed insulation and a vapor barrier to the floor, and lastly sealed the rim joist with spray foam.
Thanks to Dr. Energy Saver by Eco Energy Solutions, this home is more comfortable and energy efficient.
This homeowner in Ludlow, MA called us hoping that we would be able to make her home more comfortable - some rooms in her home were very cold. When our Home Comfort Specialist came to the home, he noted that the rim joist was unsealed and poorly insulated with just fiberglass batts.
To help this homeowner, we had to first remove the inefficient insulation. This was bagged and put into our trucks for disposal at our warehouse.
After that, we used our closed cell expanding spray foam. We sprayed this evenly in each cavity in the rim joist and over the sill plate. (The rim joist is the perimeter of the floor framing system along the exterior of the house). This two-part spray foam expands to seal all cracks and gaps. It also has a high insulation value per inch of R7.
Now, this homeowner has a warmer and more comfortable home!
This homeowner in Hampden, MA called us out to their home for a Free Home Energy Evaluation to see how we could make their home more energy-efficient. They were having concerns with cold floors and drafty rooms. One thing we noticed was that the basement door to exit the home was very old, uninsulated, and inefficient. The hatch doors that cover them are completely uninsulated as well. This allows massive amounts of air to leak in and out of the home creating cold floors and drafts.
We removed the old, inefficient door. Next, we install a new insulated basement door with proper framing and weatherstripping. Now, this will stop air from leaking into or out of the home in this area.
Thanks to Dr. Energy Saver by Eco Energy solutions this home is one step closer to optimum energy efficiency.
This homeowner in Hampden, MA called us hoping to find a solution for her mold problem. When our Home Comfort Specialist arrived, he noted that the dirt crawl space was uninsulated and unencapsulated. This was fairly common for the time the home was built. However, building science has changed a lot in the intervening 80 years.
We were able to help this homeowner by utilizing our CleanSpace™ encapsulation system. The CleanSpace™ encapsulation system features dimpled plastic drainage matting, TerraBlock™ floor insulation, and SilverGlo™ insulation on the walls. It is then finished off with a CleanSpace™ crawlspace liner. This ensures an insulated, clean crawlspace that keeps the entire home more comfortable and less prone to mold and moisture.
