A customer from Massapequa called because the insulation in the attic was old and the second floor is always much colder than the first floor. Our Home Comfort Specialist, Bill, visited the Cape Cod style home and assessed the situation. He gave a proposal for a solution to make the home more comfortable. The Triple H Team first air sealed all bypasses and top plates in the crawlspace with our ZypFoam, then insulated the crawlspace walls with SilverGlo rigid foam board on the knee wall slope. Next the team installed TiteShell recessed light fixture covers and sealed with ZypFoam before dense-packing the attic floor with 16" TruSoft cellulose. The customer now has a more comfortable home and better energy efficiency year round.
This Crawl Space in Massapequa Park, NY had no insulation in it causing the rooms and floors above it to be cold. Without the proper insulation on the walls, it causes condensation, drafts from the outside air and an uncomfortable home. Triple H insulated the crawl space walls with closed cell spray foam. The closed cell spray foam was applied to the bottom of the walls, over the sill plate, and to the top of the rim joist. Now this crawl space will have much less humidity, much warmer floors, less drafts, and a much more comfortable home.
Triple H went to this home in Farmingdale, NY and installed new insulation in the attic. They started by air sealing they entire attic so there’s no air leaks in the home. Adding insulation in an attic without sealing all air leaks first should never be done, because you are burying air leaks and making them impossible to seal later, and insulation doesn’t stop air leaks. The team then blew in 10” of cellulose insulation into the attic space, reaching the optimum R-value that you should have in your attic (R-49). Blown insulation fills all gaps and odd shaped voids. Now this home will be warmer, less drafty, more comfortable and even more energy efficient.
This Lloyd Harbor customer had a Free Energy Assessment. The homeowner had concerns that the floors over the crawl space were cold. As the assessment was being performed it was determined that there was no insulation in the crawl space. Not having a crawl space properly insulated allows cold air to enter underneath the home affecting the comfort of the rooms above. By insulating the crawl space walls, it makes that space warmer which makes the floors above more comfortable.
This customer in Huntington was aware that his home may need more insulation. He requested that Triple H come to the home and assess the insulation. At this time it was suggested that he could benefit from SilverGlo insulation in his knee wall. SilverGlo is a high R-Value, graphite-infused insulation foam board, lined with radiant foil that reflects the sun's heat away from the home during the summer, and maintains the heat during the winter. By using SilverGlo, the homeowner will no longer feel the effects of hot and cold air penetrating the room.
