A homeowner from Smithtown, NY contacted Triple H stating that the bedroom above their garage gets very cold. They also wanted an energy audit. Our home comfort consultant, Bill, performed a free evaluation of the home. Upon completion Bill provided solutions for the homeowner. Triple H removed and disposed of the existing attic insulation. We then air sealed the attic floor, and insulated it with 16" of TruSoft cellulose. All the ducts inside of the attic were sealed with mastic to reduce air exfiltration. The homeowner will now be comfortable in their home, and it will be energy efficient.
A resident from Hauppauge, NY was looking to get an estimate on new attic insulation. After having a look at the attic, it was noticed that he definitely needed updated insulation. The current insulation wasn’t doing its job which was causing the home to be uncomfortable and harder to heat and cool throughout the year. Triple H went removed the old insulation. After the old insulation is removed the attic floor is then air sealed to prevent any air leaks within the attic. Then 12” of Blown-In Cellulose Insulation was added. This home should now be more comfortable year-round, and the homeowner should have lower utility bills.
While installing insulation in an attic in Hauppauge, NY Triple H also installed Can Light covers. Can Lights are holes in the ceiling which causes air leaks between the fixture and the drywall. Most can lights are not rated to have insulation against them because it could be a fire hazard when they get hot. Without any proper coverage your home could have more drafts and colder rooms and have a higher overall home air leakage rate. Dr. Energy Saver’s TiteShell fireproof can light covers are installed over the can lights.They are fitted around wires and fixtures and sealed airtight with expanding foam. Once the covers are installed then we can blow in the cellulose insulation over them. With the new can light covers installed the home will be less drafty and more comfortable.

The homeowners floors will now be warmer throughout the cold weather and their home will be more energy efficient.
