This customer in Brentwood had a free home energy assessment. The customer was interested in lowering their utility bills and becoming more efficient. For this home we blew in cellulose insulation. Cellulose insulation is a heavier and denser insulation, creating a higher R-value per inch than fiberglass. For this customer we also installed an attic zipper tent. Between the blown in cellulose insulation and the attic zipper tent the customer will see an improvement in their efficiency as well as their comfort.
A poorly insulated crawl space in Brentwood, NY was causing condensation, mold, rot, pests and odors, as well as cold floors above and drafts leading to an uncomfortable home. Triple H insulated the walls of this crawl space with closed cell spray foam from the bottom of the walls, over the sill plate, and to the top of the rim joists. With the newly added insulation this home should result in less humidity, much warmer floors and over all a more comfortable home.
A homeowner in Brentwood, NY was experiencing an uncomfortable home year-round and was finding it difficult to try to make in more comfortable. After an evaluation it was determined that the insulation in their attic was old and needed to be replaced. Triple H went in and removed the old insulation, and before adding the new insulation they air sealed the whole attic to prevent air leakages. After that was done, they blew in 14” of cellulose insulation. As well as added a catwalk to a storage area for easy access. Now this homeowner should be able to easily keep his home comfortable, as well as enjoy the lower fuel and electric bills.
The wood floors in the house above this between-floor cantilever (overhang) were always cold in the winter until Triple H spray foamed under the cantilever. Each bay was completely empty an uninsulated when we opened it up. There was good reason for the floors to be cold. Cold air was also getting in the house, mixing with the warmer conditioned air making it more difficult to heat and keep an even, comfortable temperature.
The floors are now are as warm as in the rest of the house. Spray foam both insulates and air seals and will also keep the cool, conditioned air in the home in the summer.
A resident of Smithtown contacted Triple H with comfort concerns in their home. One of the issues discovered was their attic Knee Wall had no insulation. The Knee wall is the short wall that forms a Triangular space. The floor of the Knee Wall is the ceiling of the room above it. Knee Walls are often not insulated. This space causes the room below it to stay cold in the winter and hot in the summer. Triple H used used SilverGlo between floor joists as needed on the Knee Wall and then blew in Cellulose Insulation. Now the room beneath the Knee Wall will be much more comfortable year round.
