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.
This was a great project! Our customer needed to convert living space BACK to a garage. After demolition of the area, we noticed very poor insulation, if any, on the buffer wall (wall opposite conditioned space) as well as on the ceiling. With 5" of closed cell foam on the ceiling and 2" of closed cell foam on the buffer wall, we were able to completely seal this garage from any air or moisture with incredible R-Values!! Not to mention adding structural integrity to the floors. The customer said, "I can't hear any of the creaks in the floor any longer and I don't need socks!!!"
After Triple H completed an energy assessment of this customer's house, it was determined that the floor in their bedroom was cold because there was no insulation below the floor in the garage. After spray foaming the ceiling of the garage, the customer will have warm floors and lower energy bills.
This bedroom in St. James will be much more comfortable now that Triple H has sealed and insulated the exterior walls with spray foam.
The customer had recently purchased the home and prior to moving in took the opportunity to remove the sheet rock and spray foam all the exterior walls because he wanted the best insulation to ensure year round comfort and reduced energy bills.
This homeowner had a free home energy assessment. After the analysis of the home was completed, Triple H suggested that this customer upgrade his insulation in his attic. Triple H air sealed all penetrations on the attic floor before blowing in Cellulose insulation. Now that this home has been air sealed and has proper insulation the customer will experience a more comfortable home as well as savings on their utilities.
