Before & After Photos

Homeowners in Wittman, Maryland were not happy about their HVAC system not properly cooling the house. The lack of insulation and the amount of open air penetrations inside of the attic were causing the owners misery by high fuel and electric bills. 

They called Dr. Energy Saver who came out and inspected their home and informed the couple on the necessary steps it would take to fix their uncomfortable home. 

We then arrived at the home, immediately getting to work.  We installed our Cap Existing Insulation with TruSoft Cellulose. This involves blowing cellulose over the bed of fiberglass insulation. The bed of fiberglass is then compressed by the heavy cellulose and adds to the R-Value(the capacity of an insulating material to resist heat flow. The higher the R-value, the greater the insulating power). This results in a more comfortable house and lowers your fuel and electric bills. 

Homeowner's in Grasonville, MD., needed to have their ducts cleaned. Homeowner's tend to forget about the other aspects of their home because they don't see them every day comapred to the other rooms in their home. 

In a six room home, up to 40 pounds of dust is created every day. The dust is pulled into the HVAC system and re-circulated 5-7 times per day. This ongoing process creates contaminants in the duct work. This can cause allergies, asthma and other respiratory problems. 

To solve this problem, Dr. Energy Saver Delmarva will clean and aeroseal the duct work to prevent future leakage. 

The process begins by a camera being lowered into the duct work. The camera shows live video footage of how the ducts look. This determines if the ducts need to be cleaned or not. Next, the registers are taken off to be cleaned. Then, the duct work is cleaned with a 360 circular rotating brush called the Rotobrush. This brush cleans every angle of the duct work thoroughly. The dust and dirt is then collected into a vacuum. Finally, the duct work is treated with an antimicrobial treatment. 

Homeowners in Chestertown, Maryland noticed the inefficiency of their HVAC unit inside of their attic not properly keeping the living space comfortable during the winter time. The attic temperature read at below 30 degrees. 

Dr. Energy Saver came out and inspected the home and informed the homeowners of the issue that they were facing. With their HVAC unit being inside of the cold attic, heating those duct lines were taking longer than expected and not properly being heated to the temperature of the thermostat. 

Our production team came right out and got to work. We installed our SunChuter Radiant Barrier which is installed right between the roof trusses. This will create an air space above it and reflect much of the roofs heat. We also air sealed the air penetrations and insulated the attic well above the required state amount. This will make the home a lot more comfortable, the HVAC unit will not run as much, and lowers the electric bills!

Homeowners in Queenstown, MD contacted Dr. Energy Saver Delmarva because they had concerns about the consistently wet condition of their crawl space. In order to correct the problem and prevent any further water damage the production crew installed a drainage system around the perimeter of the crawl space. The drainage system will collect and carry water to the SmartSump removing it from the crawl space. After installing the drainage system the crew encapsulated the crawl space complete with CleanSpace liner on the floor and SilverGlo rigid foam board insulation on the walls with spray foam air sealing in the rim joists.

The second floor of Rick’s home was uncomfortable in the summer.  They had central air conditioning but the upstairs just never seemed to be cool enough.  Upon inspection we noticed that the R-value, a measure of the resistance to heat flow, could definitely use some improvement.  His attic also wasn’t air sealed.  Can lights, electrical penetrations, and top plates were causing unnecessary air flow.

We removed their existing insulation, air sealed the attic, and installed 17-inches of cellulose insulation providing them with the recommended R-value of 60 (over twice their previous insulation level).  With their attic reaching between 100 and 120℉ in the summertime, this new insulation will reduce the heat transfer happening and cool the second floor of their home making it more comfortable in the summer.  An added plus is they’ll also require less energy to keep the home heated in the winter.
