This customer in Westhampton wanted to make his rooms warmer in the winter. One of the biggest causes of loss of heat is an improperly insulated knee wall. The knee wall is cold in the winter and hot in the summer because both the knee wall and floor are opened to the knee wall space typically with exposed fiberglass. To make this home more comfortable and efficient we use SilverGlo on the walls which can increase your R-value greatly. We also air sealed all floor penetrations, making the space air sealed properly. Last we used cellulose insulation. The homeowner will more be more comfortable in all four seasons of the year.
The Triple H Crew installed a SuperAttic in a home in Riverhead, NY. A SuperAttic covers your attic from a hot-in-the-summer, cold-in-the-winter, vented attic to a comfortable unvented attic. With SuperAttic, your attic becomes part of the conditioned space of your home. SuperAttic uses a SilverGlo EPS foam insulation board that is infused with graphite and specially manufactured with a radiant barrier to create an "energy force field" under your roof and above your attic space. Your home will now be less drafty, warmer in winter, and cooler in summer, with lower fuel and electric bills
We started by removing the old, dirty insulation from the attic space, prepping it for new insulation. Then we sealed all air penetration and blew in 16' of fresh cellulose insulation.
This customer from Mattituck had a energy assessment because half of the second floor bedrooms were warmer in the summer than the other bedrooms. After examining the customer's house it was determined that one of their issues was that their supply plenum was not properly insulated. To help improve comfort in their bedroom, we wrapped the supply plenum with insulated duct wrap, preventing cool air from being lost into the attic. By doing this, these bedrooms will be much cooler in the summer because all the conditioned air will go to the bedrooms and not escape through the ducts to the attic. The house is also more energy efficient.
This customer requested a free Home Energy Assessment at their home. After the assessment and talking with the customer about all their concerns, it was decided that they would benefit from having cellulose insulation blown into the attic. Triple h removed and disposed of all the old insulation in the attic. After that we then air sealed all the air leaks on the attic floor. We then blew in cellulose insulation, which is resistant to fire, mold, and pest, making it a great choice. After insulating the attic, the customer will have a warmer, more comfortable and less drafty house.
