This Great Falls VA home had rooms that were not comfortable all year round so the homeowners called us to see if we could help. The attic of the home had insufficient insulation with not enough existing in use and poor quality material. Our production team removed the old insulation, used Zyp Foam to air seal up the small cracks and gaps in the attic floor and then blew in Tru Soft cellulose insulation. We added volume compared to the previous insulation and made sure to cover the HVAC ducts as much as possible to help keep them even more insulated than they had been.
This sunroom in Fairfax, VA was very uncomfortable. Our team spray foamed the ceiling to make this room much more comfortable and energy efficient!
This home in Fairfax VA had a multiple stage project to make the home more energy efficient and more comfortable. One step was the encapsulation of the HVAC duct system in the attic with Spray Foam. The existing ductwork had several holes at the joints where air was allowed to escape, making the HVAC system less efficient and requiring it to work harder and create more conditioned air. The spray foam covering it protects the air from escaping and keeps attic temperatures from impacting the conditioned (cooled/heated) air travelling inside. This will reduce the amount of energy used by the HVAC system and allow for better passage to the rooms it was intended to reach.
These Fairfax Virginia homeowners called us to see if we could make some uncomfortable rooms warmer this winter. There were 2 specific rooms in their home that were above a crawl space and would get noticeably colder than other areas of the home. Our Certified Home Performance Sales Pro Eric was able to identify several services that would help. The crawl space was vented and allowing external air and temperatures to impact the home. Additionally the existing insulation was not air sealed so that cold air coming through the vents was working into the home above. We removed the existing fiberglass and Styrofoam insulation before using spray foam to seal up the uncontrolled air flow in the crawl space as well as insulate.
There are many places in the frame of a home that can allow for external air and temperatures to impact the comfort inside of the home. This Fairfax Virginia home had cantilevers where the different levels of the home met and they were not insulated. This lead to cold floors inside. Our production crew removed the underside panels of the cantilever and used spray for to air seal and insulate.
