Before & After Photos

This Fairfield, CT crawl space had several air leaks and its lack of insulation was causing uncomfortable temperatures and severe drafts in the rest of the home. The space had two poorly insulated windows allowing moist, unfiltered, unconditioned air to leak into the house proving to be a big issue. Wanting to make the space cleaner and improve the comfort of his home, the homeowner did some online research and decided to schedule an appointment with the experts at Dr. Energy Saver of CT.

Home energy specialist Keith Saunders arrived to inspect the home. Keith quickly identified the problems in the crawl space, including uninsulated floor joists, under-performing windows, little protection from moisture, and general lack of insulation. He shared his findings with the homeowner, and together, they discussed some possible solutions and found the best fit for the homeowner. 

On the first day of production, foreman Rudy Abel arrived with his crew to begin the project. First, they insulated the home's rim joist, which would prevent crawl space air from leaking into the rest of the home. Next, the team installed CleanSpace liner, which acts as a moisture barrier and covers up the dirty crawl space walls. Finally, they lined the walls with SilverGlo insulation, which includes a built-in reflective barrier that provides added protection from harsh exterior temperatures. When the team was done, the crawl space had been transformed from an uncomfortable crawl space into a neatly lined and well insulated area. The homeowner was more than satisfied with the results, excited that this project had provided him with a more energy efficient home, as well as some valuable storage space, all in one. 

These Fairfield, CT homeowners called Dr. Energy Saver of Connecticut when they began to realize the home they moved into in the spring, could not handle the summer heat! They were beginning to feel increasingly uncomfortable in the hot and humid second floor and felt like they were already spending way too much on air conditioning. One of our trusted Home Energy Experts visited the home in order to check out what might be causing their discomfort. Upon arrival and closer examination, he realized the home’s attic was incredibly under insulated and the soffit was insulated improperly with fiberglass batts insulation.

The homeowners agreed to have their soffit insulated with densely packed TruSoft Cellulose insulation. We sent out our crew of workers lead by foreman Rudy Abel to complete the project. They first removed the shingles and ridge vent at the top of the roofline in order to access the cavity. As you can see in the before photo, there were significant gaps in the insulation and there is no doubt this was a massive culprit of their discomfort. The works installed the TruSoft Cellulose through a pressurized hose in order to pump as much insulation into the roof cavity as possible. Afterwards, they reinstalled the ridge vent and shingles and now the roof looks good as new!

Dr. Energy Saver of Connecticut left this family feeling much more comfortable in their home after this visit and we are proud to have done more work for these homeowners in the years since!

A Fairfield homeowner had fiberglass insulation in their attic, which was making their home drafty. They contacted us at Dr. Energy Saver of CT to find a new, permanent solution. One of our Salesmen, Keith Saunders, visited the home to assess the attic and propose our insulation solution. 

Soon after, one of our Foremen, Rudy, and his crew would install the proposed work. They installed an insulated storage deck for easy access for the homeowner. Then they blew in our TruSoft cellulose insulation throughout the attic. It will immediately improve efficiency. 

The homeowner is happy knowing their home is now energy efficient and can see a drop in their energy bill as well. 

The owners of this Southbury, CT home experienced cold winters and hot summers, due to minimal insulation and many concerning air gaps in the attic. When a home has little insulation the winters feel colder; forcing the homeowners to raise the heat. When raising the thermostat to maintain a comfortable temperature, it ends up leaking out the top of the house, which continuously raises heating costs dramatically. These uhappy customers called Dr. Energy Saver of CT who insulated the entire attic with our Spray Foam, which successfully regulates the temperature within the home.

The home is now, less expensive to heat/cool and more comfortable. The insulation is also mold, moisture, and pest resistant for added security. If you are in need of a foam insulation upgrade, contact Dr. Energy Saver of CT for a FREE estimate.

This Heritage Village home had an attic with terribly installed fiberglass batts insulation, which made the summers hot, and the winters cold. The homeowners called us and we made all their worries go away. We took out the old insulation and replaced it with one of our more effecting insulations. Our blown Cellulose insulation can usually be installed over existing attic insulation, as long as the existing insulation is in good condition. BEFORE installing new attic insulation, it’s critical to seal energy-wasting air leaks between the attic space and the living space below. Insulation slows heat transfer, but will not stop conditioned air from leaking into the attic; that’s why air sealing is always done along with an insulation upgrade. A skilled energy improvement contractor has the know-how to find and seal air leaks using a variety of materials and techniques. Our workers are thoroughly trained and experienced professionals!

Cellulose insulation is often used in attics because it can be installed quickly and effectively with blowing equipment. Cellullose is super-green: It’s made from recycled newspapers and treated for resistance to fire, mold and insects.
