Home Insulation Services Before & After Photos

A customer in Wilmington, DE sought to improve their home's comfort throughout the year, focusing on making rooms warmer during the winter, cooler in the summer, and keeping floors warmer during colder months.

Challenges:

• Inconsistent temperatures in key rooms, making them too cold in the winter and too hot in the summer.
• Cold floors in winter, reducing overall comfort.

Our Solutions:

1. Attic Insulation and Air Sealing:
   • We removed and disposed of the existing insulation in the attic to prepare the space for fresh, high-performance insulation.
   • TiteShell™ recessed light fixture covers were installed to properly insulate around recessed lighting, preventing air leaks.
   • TruSoft™ stabilized cellulose insulation was blown into the attic floor, reaching an R60 value (17 inches), significantly improving the home’s thermal resistance.
   • A layer of 4-inch SilverGlo™ insulation was added along the attic deck, boosting insulation and energy efficiency.
   • The attic’s scuttle landing was enhanced with a SuperPlatform™ and insulation dams, ensuring complete insulation coverage.
   • To reduce air leaks around the attic entry, we installed a David Lewis™ attic pull-down stair hatch cover, providing a tight seal.
2. Floor and Rim Joist Sealing:
   • The attic floor was air-sealed using ZypFoam™, ensuring all gaps and penetrations were tightly sealed to eliminate drafts.
   • Rim joists were sealed and insulated with spray foam, improving the warmth of the floors and preventing heat loss in the winter.

These homeowners in Wyoming, DE were suffering with an uncomfortable home due to their vented crawl space. The insulation in their vented crawl space started to sag away and caused air to flow through it. With the constant air flow the crawl space formed condensation and high humidity. This can lead to mold growth, odors and wood rots. 

Dr. Energy Saver has a simple solution to help these homeowners with their vented crawl space. Dr. Energy Saver will install a CleanSpace Encapsulation system on top of their dirt floor as well as install SilverGlo along the walls of the crawl space. This helps seal off any unwanted air from leaking into the crawl space. The results are low humidity, warmer floors upstairs and lower utility costs. 

Finally, these homeowners can live comfortably in their own home while also saving money!

Homeowners in Wyoming, Delaware were experiencing cold drafts coming through their downstairs and kitchen. Unsure of where the cool air was coming, they phoned Dr. Energy Saver. 

Our In Home Comfort Specialist then came out and sat down with the customer, listening to the issues that they were experiencing first hand. After a brief sit down, we inspected the home finding the problem that was causing the cold draft and increase in fuel and electric bills.

We then came back out with our production crew and got to work. Immediately, we attack underneath the unisulated bay window sill where air leaked inside the home. Also the kneewall space where cold air was coming through the leaky fascia/soffit assemblies.

With those issues fixed, the homeowners felt immediate comfort inside the home. Another satisfied customer with Dr. Energy Saver.
