Dr. Energy Saver Of Connecticut Before & After Photos

This crawl space in Stevenson, CT was dirty, filled with debris, and it's old insulation was causing their energy bills to go up. After calling us at Dr. Energy Saver of Connecticut, we came in, and were happy to help!

The first thing we did was encapsulate the crawl space with our CleanSpace Crawl Space Vapor Barrier.  This durable, bright crawl space liner prevents water vapor and humidity from passing through. This barrier helps to seal out the cold winter air, and can be used on both the walls and the floors. Best of all? It comes with a 25 year warranty!

This Trumbull, CT homeowner had been experiencing their kitchen being uncomfortably cold in the winter and hot in the summer. They thought it was because of their walls, but when our trusted Home Energy Expert Keith Saunders visited the home, he explained it was more because of their improperly insulated attic.  The home’s attic was insulated with a layer of fiberglass batts insulation between the ceiling’s joists, but this was not adding enough of a thermal barrier between the home and the freezing cold attic. There were also many holes where wires were fed through the plywood where air was leaking, and there were several can lights above the kitchen which were incredibly leaky.

Keith suggested Dr. Energy Saver of Connecticut installing sprayable foam sealant in order to air seal the gaps in the attic. They would also use SilverGlo Rigid Foam insulation in order to provide a continuous, airtight insulation layer with a radiant barrier to reflect the warm air back inside during the wintertime. The homeowners agreed to have these installed along with additional insulation in their attic.

Our crew lead by Rudy Abel went to the home and started the work by removing all the old dirty insulation and air sealing with the orange foam. They installed TiteShell recessed can light covers over the light fixtures in the attic and sealed them with expanding foam around their edges. This keeps air from inside your rooms leaking out into the cold attic. They also installed the SilverGlo Rigid Foam insulation where any interior walls were exposed to the attic and sealed the gaps between them with sprayable foam sealant. They then installed TruSoft Cellulose insulation into the attic by blowing it in through a hose.

The homeowners noticed a difference right away in their warmer kitchen and less drafty rooms around the house.

This Cornwall homeowner had a large crawlspace beneath his home, and noticed that it often felt damp and moist there. Worried that this moisture could lead to mold and structural damage, he reached out to the experts at Dr. Energy Saver of CT for help. 

After their visit, the specialists at Dr. Energy Saver of CT transformed this crawlspace into a dry, protected space. Our patented CleanSpace Vapor Barrier prevents water vapor and humidity from passing through, keeping your crawl space dry and preventing mold and rot from damaging your home. With a 25-year warranty against rips and tears, CleanSpace is sure to keep your crawl space safe and dry for years to come. 

Despite a layer of fiberglass insulation, this attic was still letting cold, drafty air into this Bridgeport house. While the existing fiberglass insulation added some insulation value, it didn't stop the problematic air leaks. To fix this issue, we first had to remove the ineffective fiberglass insulation. Next, we air-sealed the attic with expanding foam, sealing all cracks that air seeps into the house from. Additionally, we upgraded the insulation to our TruSoft blown cellulose insulation. Air-sealing the attic, combined with an attic insulation upgrade, cut this home's heating and cooling costs by around 40%!

The owners of this home wanted to upgrade the insulation in their attic, so Dr. Energy Saver installed our blown in Cellulose insulation. They requested for extra storage space in their attic without compromising the energy efficiency of the room, so to meet their needs, we constructed an insulated storage deck across a portion of their attic. To install this decking, we first laid down our rigid SilverGlo foam board across the ceiling joists. SilverGlo is a rigid foam board infused with graphite, which boosts its insulation value by 24% over standard EPS foam. We then covered the SilverGlo with Oriented Strand Board (OSB). To keep the blown insulation off the storage area, we installed dams around the perimeter of the insulated decking. Not only did this job add valuable attic storage space, it made the whole home more comfortable and less drafty!
