Dr. Energy Saver Of Connecticut Before & After Photos

This Farmington, Connecticut home had an attic that wasn't properly insulated. The ducts weren't insulated either and this allowed unconditioned, moist, and dusty air to be distributed throughout the home. The homeowners wanted an attic that was energy efficient and provided storage space. They gave us a call here at Dr. Energy Saver of Connecticut to come and give their attic the upgrade it needed! We installed our blown insulation throughout the floor and left some space open for storage, as per the homeowners request. Our blown insulation provides thorough coverage and is a quick installation.

The owner's of this Guilford, CT home were in desperate need of new insulation in their home. Their old fiberglass insulation just wasn't cutting it anymore, and was beginning to fall off the walls of the attic. They gave us a call at Dr. Energy Saver of Connecticut, and we were happy to come out, and give them some help!

After removing all of the old insulation from their roof, our expert foreman, Ken Hartsburg, came out with his team, and began to get to work. They quickly installed our closed cell spray foam all over the roof of this colonial home. This type of insulation adds strength to framing and sheathing, and seals off any air filtration, forming a moisture barrier. It cures dense and hard just minutes after application, and while our team does wear special equipment during installation, it is completely safe for both families and pets after installed. 

We left this family knowing they would have smaller energy bills, and a more comfortable home! Call us today for your FREE energy evaluation!

Before, this Bloomfield homeowner had little insulation in his attic, which caused major discomfort. The rooms in his home had uneven temperatures and his electric bill was consistently high every month. He wanted to make his home energy efficient, so he contacted the professionals at Dr. Energy Saver of CT to help make that possible. 

After one of the professionals at Dr. Energy Save of Connecticut visited the owner's home and deliberated with the owner, they decided to seal the entire attic and install blown in cellulose. By air sealing the attic, you are preventing any unwanted air from flowing freely through the attic that would otherwise waste the heated/cooled air you pay for. Once air sealed, blown cellulose insulation was installed along with wood dams to create a walkway for service and storage convenience. This type of insulation is superior because it provides a high R-value of R-60 while also being safe and environmentally friendly. After installation, the homeowner noticed a difference with a more reasonable electric bill and that the rooms had even temperatures throughout the home. This is exactly what he wanted and he was happy that he trusted the experts at Dr. Energy Saver of CT. 

One of the most important steps to an attic insulation job is to air seal the attic with expanding polyurethane foam. After that, we can put in the right insulation for the job, which in this case was blown cellulose insulation. Our TruSoft cellulose insulation offers an affordable and effective way to upgrade attic insulation. The homeowners noticed immediate improvements in the comfort and energy costs of the home! 

This Middletown, CT attic had several air leaks and was poorly insulated. This was causing uneven temperatures and severe drafts in the rest of the home. The large space had several thermal bridges radiating in harsh exterior temperatures through the exposed walls and floors of the attic, due to its complicated construction. The leaky walls were allowing conditioned air in the house to leave, leading to costly heating and cooling costs. Wanting to and improve the comfort of his home and lower the cost of his fuel and electricity bills, the homeowner did some online research and decided to schedule an appointment with the experts at Dr. Energy Saver of CT.

Home energy specialist Chris Grosso arrived to inspect the home. Chris quickly identified the problems in the attic. He shared his findings with the homeowner, and together, they discussed some possible solutions and found the best fit for the homeowner. 

The above photos show the product of work done in October. In this first visit from Dr. Energy Saver of Connecticut, foreman Ken Hartsburg removed all the existing, poorly performing, fiberglass batts insulation and installed closed cell spray foam and a few panels of SilverGlo for additional insulation. The homeowner noticed improved conditions in their home immediately… but our job was not finished.

A month later the homeowner decided to have Dr. Energy Saver of Connecticut return to install 48 inches of blown cellulose with an R-20 catwalk with retention walls so the homeowner could continue storing items in the space. Their work also included densely packing the knee wall area in the above photo with blown cellulose.   During this second round of improvements, foreman Johnny Lopez realized the Dr. Energy Saver David Lewis Hatch Cover did not fit the entrance to the attic, so the workers constructed one by hand using SilverGlo to insure a perfectly insulated fit.

When the team was done, the attic had been transformed from a dusty, drafty attic into a well-sealed and insulated area. The homeowner was more than satisfied with the results, excited that this project had provided him with a more energy efficient home, as well as some valuable storage space, all in one. He was glad he called for additional work to be done on his attic.
