A homeowner in Salisbury, MD was struggling with keeping her second floor warm in the winter and cool in the summer. The cause of her concern was an interior wall exposed to her attic.
Some homes are constructed with rooms that have walls exposed to the drastic attic temperatures. If the wall is not properly insulated then it allows air to pass through it. This can cause the rooms to uncomfortably hot or cold and causes high utility costs.
Dr. Energy Saver Delmarva solves this problem by installing SilverGlo Insulation and air sealed along the exposed wall. SilverGlo stops heat gain in the summer and heat loss in the winter. The results are more comfortable rooms while also lowering utility costs.
Now the homeowner can be comfortable in her own home while also saving money!
It is obvious that this Salisbury, MD attic is in desperate need of some insulation. One of our Home Comfort Specialists also found various areas in the attic that needed air sealing. Before installing insulation for this homeowner the Dr. Energy Saver Delmarva production team air sealed every hole, crack and crevice ensuring that no other air leaks will happen in the future. This upgrade will save on heating and cooling costs making this home more energy efficient.
Another perfect job by Dr. Energy Saver Delmarva. The SuperAttic Conversion System makes the attic a more comfortable temperature year round. This Georgetown homeowner converted his attic to a SuperAttic before installing the new HVAC. If you have duct work or your HVAC in the attic, you need the SuperAttic.
We were called by Karen for a number of reasons. She had been interested in encapsulation to (1) help deter mice in crawlspace, (2) improve overall home health and air quality. After inspection we walked Karen through what we found. She had high humidity levels and wood moisture content which can be the cause of microbial growth in your crawl.
Fifty percent of the air we breathe on the first floor of the home comes from the crawl space. If you have duct work with any sort of tears or gaps (which most duct work has) in the crawl space you could also be bringing in dirt, mold spores, and dust directly into your home.
The encapsulation system we installed for Karen is going to help in multiple ways. Exchanging fiberglass batts (which rodents and insects love) for high-density foam board and completely sealing the ground off will improve the air quality, help deter rodents and insects, and also made her whole home significantly warmer.

Blown In Fiberglass Insulation is helping this Sussex County homeowner to enjoy a more comfortable and efficient home. This homeowner had the typical Milton, DE home that was built to code, but the homeowner still had issues keeping it cool in the summer and warm in the winter. The Dr. Energy Saver team helped make this home more comfortable year round with Air Sealing and adding more Blown In Insulation over the fiberglass batts to provide an even coverage.
