A homeowner from Port Washington was looking to make their home happier and healthier. The attic of this home had old insulation and did not have proper air sealing. Triple H air sealed all penetrations on the attic floor. Then blew in 12" of cellulose insulation. Titeshell can covers were also installed to prevent air from escaping from the home into the attic by way of the recessed lights. The customer will surely be more comfortable and see an improvement on their utility bills, making their home happy and healthy.
A resident of Port Washington was having some comfort issues in their house, causing it to be cold all the time. After an evaluation it was determined that they would benefit from adding in new attic insulation. Triple H went in and removed all the old insulation they had. Then they air sealed all the air leaks in the attic, as well as sealed all the ducts in the home. If you have air leaks in the ducts, the rooms farther away from the air handler will not heat or cool as well, so it’s recommended to do this. Next, they installed baffles (air chutes) in each rafter bay to keep soffit vents clear and prepare for insulation. They then blew in 14” of cellulose insulation, resulting in a warmer, more comfortable home with lower fuel and electric bills.
In this attic, we added a new storage platform, installed blown cellulose behind the plywood dams, and added baffles to the soffits to help with air ventilation.
We created a conditioned attic space in Port Washington, NY. We installed SilverGlo foam board insulation across the roof rafters. Then added cellulose behind the foam board to make sure its well insulated. Now the attic is part of the conditioned space in the home. The attic is now clean and suitable for storage.
A homeowner from Woodmere, NY contacted Triple H stating that they feel drafts from bedroom closets and that upstairs is much colder than downstairs. Our home comfort consultant Bill performed a free evaluation of the home. Upon completion Bill was able to provide solutions for the homeowner. Triple H removed and disposed of the existing attic insulation, and air sealed and insulated the attic floor with 16” of TruSoft cellulose. They then dense packed the decking between the attic and ceiling up to 6” deep with TruSoft cellulose The homeowner will now be more comfortable in their home, and it will be energy efficient.
