A resident of Smithtown contacted Triple H with comfort concerns in their home. One of the issues discovered was their attic Knee Wall had no insulation. The Knee wall is the short wall that forms a Triangular space. The floor of the Knee Wall is the ceiling of the room above it. Knee Walls are often not insulated. This space causes the room below it to stay cold in the winter and hot in the summer. Triple H used used SilverGlo between floor joists as needed on the Knee Wall and then blew in Cellulose Insulation. Now the room beneath the Knee Wall will be much more comfortable year round.
These ducts were insulated with 1" of closed cell spray foam. Air cannot leak through. Now, when your furnace or air conditioner heats or cools the air, that heating/cooling is delivered to your rooms without loss along the way!
A resident of Smithtown was having some comfort issues in their house, causing it to be cold all the time in there daughters room and main den. After an evaluation it was determined that they would benefit from adding in new attic insulation. Triple H went in and air sealed all the air leaks in the attic, as well as sealed all the ducts in the home. If you have air leaks in the ducts, the rooms farther away from the air handler will not heat or cool as well, so it’s recommended to do this. Next, they installed baffles (air chutes) in each rafter bay to keep soffit vents clear and prepare for insulation. They then blew in 10” of cellulose insulation, resulting in a warmer, more comfortable home with lower fuel and electric bills.

This homeowner in Central Islip, NY reached out to our company looking for energy efficient suggestions. Every winter she goes through the same thing with the house being freezing all the time and money is just going out the window trying to keep it heated. We scheduled an appointment with our home comfort specialist Ryan to go to her home to perform an evaluation and see what we could do to help her problems. After the evaluation, Ryan determined that this house was not insulated to today's standards. The current insulation was flat, thin, and old. Ryan recommended air sealing the space to help with any drafts in the home where all the heat is leaking out of. As well as adding 10" of blown in cellulose insulation to help bring up the R-value in the attic. Now the customer is experiencing a more comfortable year round. As well as lower utility bills because she isn't constantly having to run her heating system all the time.
