This Sterling, VA home was suffering from a drafty attic that was making the home too hot in the summer and too cold in the winter. This was having a serious negative impact on the comfort level of the home. When our sales professional Carl went out to the property to perform a full home inspection, he determined that the best course of action to end their discomfort would be to Completely air seal the attic and install new high-quality insulation. Carl explained to the homeowners that the primary cause of their discomfort was the lack of proper insulation and air sealing in the attic. After the homeowners agreed to Carl's solution our service crews went out to get to work on the home. The crews started by removing and disposing of all the old insulation. After that, they applied ZypFoam air sealant to all of the potential leaks on the attic floor. Finally, the crew installed new TruSoft cellulose insulation to keep the home comfortable year-round.
This Brambleton, VA home had just finished construction and was in need of high-quality insulation to keep it comfortable. Having good quality insulation can make all the difference when it comes to keeping your conditioned air hot or cold. After completing his inspection of the home, our Sales Professional Jonathan decided the best option would be to air seal the attic and install new blown in cellulose TruSoft insulation. Our service crews went out to get to work on the home and started by applying ZypFoam air sealant to plug all of the gaps that air could leak through from the attic into the living spaces. Then the crew finished up by installing new TruSoft cellulose insulation to make sure that the home would be comfortable year-round.
This Cross Junction, VA homeowner was looking for the most comfortable, most efficient way to insulate their basement when remodeling.

This Middletown, VA homeonwer was complaining that their top floor was cold and drafty in the winter. Upon a full comfort and energy evaluation by Comfenergy, we determined one of the issues to be leaky can lights in the ceiling. Each can light is merely a 6" diameter hole that allows heated air to escape, and cold drafts in during the winter.
Rock wool can light covers lessen this leakage and also provide a necessary thermal and ignition barrier from the hot can light to protect against the possibility of fires.
A home in Winchester, VA was experiencing unbearably hot top floors during the summer months. The master bedroom was the worst - sometimes, the homeowners had to sleep in the downstairs guest bedroom to escape the heat!
It came as no surprise to us that the attic had insufficient and almost non-existent insulation. It also had a vent that was directly allowing outside air in! It's no wonder that the rooms under this attic would be having these issues.
To fix this problem, we first air sealed leakage points with spray foam. We then blew in a thick layer of cellulose insulation through the entire attic. This attic is now a conditioned space and won't contribute to comfort/efficiency problems any more!
