Before and After we installed a near mechanical catwalk and storage platform with new blown in cellulose insulation
This customer from Lake Grove had a free home energy assessment. After completion of the assessment it was determined that this home needed additional attic insulation. The homeowner used their attic for storage, we installed a storage platform with a wood boarder. The homeowner had comfort issues. They felt that some rooms in the house were either colder or warmer than others. By insulating the attic properly the customer should see an improvement in comfort as well as reduced utility bills.
This customer in Lake Grove called for a free home energy assessment. One of the concerns they had was the home was cold in the winter and hot in the summer. This home had can lights. Can lights can be a huge source of energy loss. The can lights are often not completely sealed, allowing air to escape from the conditioned area of the home and into the attic. This will cause comfort issues for the homeowner. Can light covers are installed over the can lights and then spray foam is used to to seal the air leaks. Installing can light covers and sealing the air leaks will result in a more comfortable home.
This homeowner from Stony Brook, NY wanted to reduce the drafts in their home. Triple H removed the old insulation, then air sealed the attic floor. Before blowing in Cellulose Insulation, TiteSheel Can Light Covers were installed over the recessed lights. Improperly insulated recessed lights are a major contributor to the loss of heat. The final step was to blow in the Cellulose Insulation. This home will now be more comfortable and less costly to heat/cool.
This is a good example of proper air sealing. Air sealing seals up all the air leaks from the various point you could lose air and leaks out of your attic. Air sealing before insulation is very important so you can have a properly sealed and insulated attic space for a warmer more comfortable home. With lower fuel and electric bills.
