After Triple H completed an energy assessment of this customer's home in Northport, it was determined that their attic was improperly insulated. Before blowing in cellulose insulation, we sealed the high hats (can lights) with covers so none of the heat from the house escapes into the attic. This customer will have a warm home and lower energy bills due to the cellulose insulation and air sealing that was done.
The customer in Northport had concerns about cold floors above their basement. After completing the assessment it was determined that the rim joist had not been properly sealed, allowing cold air to enter the basement and effect the floors above. Triple H used closed cell spray foam to insulate and air seal the rim joist. By doing this it will keep cold air out and will keep the basement warmer resulting in warmer floors upstairs.
This resident of Northport, NY was having some comfort issues. They were experiencing cold floors and cold rooms above their crawl space. It was determined that this crawl space wasn’t properly sealed and insulated. A lot of the outside air was leaking in and causing these comfort issues. Triple H went in and installed a Crawl Space Encapsulation system with a vapor barrier. SilverGlo Insulation with reflective radiant barrier was installed on all the walls of the crawl space. This increases the R-value in the crawl space by 24%. Now there should be much lower humidity, warmer floors, and less drafts.
We encapsulated this duct system with 1" of closed-cell insulation to prevent any air leaks. Now when your heat or cooling system heats/cools the air, that heating/cooling is delivered to your rooms without loss along the way!
A homeowner from Northport, NY contacted Triple H stating they had an estimate in the past, and would like a second opinion. Our home comfort consultant Bill performed a free evaluation of the home. Upon completion Bill provided solutions for the homeowner. Triple H air sealed and insulated the attic floor with 10" of TruSoft cellulose. They then installed a 2' x 2' catwalk inside of the attic in order for maintenance on mechanical systems. The homeowner will now be comfortable in their home, and it will be more energy efficient.
