Home Insulation Services Before & After Photos

Are all of your home's exhaust fans properly vented? These Dover, DE homeowners complained of cold floors.  Part of the issue stemmed from an under-insulated cantilever.  While preparing to replace the standard batted fiberglass with a much more energy efficient rigid foam board insulation with radiant barrier named SilverGlo, our crew discovered a bathroom exhaust duct which had never been properly vented.  If left alone the unvented exhaust could have caused these homeowners grief in the future.  Our crew not only replaced their old insulation with the state of the art SilverGlo, but they also created a way for the exhaust to be properly vented.  A vent cover was attached to the soffit that lined up perfectly with the exhaust duct when put back into place.  

The owners of this Dover, DE home dealt with uncomfortable conditions in their home even though it would seem that they had enough insulation. The insulation fills the cavities in walls so that must be the highest R-Value, right? Wrong! Standard batted fiberglass with an R-Value of 19 is about 6.5" thick. Dr. Energy Saver Delmarva has installed SilverGlo rigid foam board insulation that is just  4" thick with a higher R-Value and comes complete with radiant barrier on both sides to deflect direct heat off of the home while preventing conditioned air inside from escaping resulting in a more comfortable and energy efficient home. 

Blown In Fiberglass Insulation on the attic floor and SilverGlo™ Foam on the Attic Kneewall helps this Kent County homeowner save money on their utility bills while keeping the home comfortable year round.

Houston, DE - This homeowner had rooms that were hot in the summer and cold in the winter. The homeowner called Lawson Home Services to perform an Energy Audit to determine what options would be best in improve the efficiency of the home and make the rooms cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter. Before insulation was added the old dirty insulation was removed and the attic floor was properly air sealed to keep the air that they heat and cool in the home longer. After the air sealing was completed an insulated storage deck was built and the remaining attic was insulated to R60 using TruSoft Cellulose.

This homeowner in Seaford, DE, like many, was experiencing cold rooms in their house during the winter months. The homeowner's major concern when calling Dr. Energy Saver for help was "to make rooms warmer in the winter". 

What was causing this homeowner to be uncomfortable in their home their poorly insulated attic. Their attic insulation was old and dirty causing air leaks from within the home. When air leaks from within the home to the attic it is lost. So all of the energy and money the homeowner is spending goes to waste. Poorly insulated attics can have numerous results such as drafts, cold rooms and high electric bills. 

Dr. Energy Saver easily solves this problem by first removing the old insulation. Then, the production crew begins to air seal all gaps in the attic floor to prevent any future leaks. Finally, the new TruSoft Cellulose Insulation is installed. With a properly insulated attic the homeowner will start to see quick results such as warmer rooms, less drafts and lower electric bills!
