The Triple H Crew install a catwalk with borders to help with easy access to the HVAC system, as well as to help contain the blown-in insulation that is added into the attic space.
This customer from Bellport had a free home energy assessment. Her main concern was the house was very cold. After completing the assessment Triple H recommended having the insulation in the attic improved. The insulation in this attic was the original insulation from 1960. Old insulation looses its R-value over time and can cause the house to be too hot in the summer or too cold in the winter. Before installing new cellulose insulation, we air sealed all penetrations on the attic flat with spray foam. We also used a radiant barrier on the knee wall. Now that the attic is properly insulated the home will be much warmer in the winter. The homeowner will be more comfortable and will see an improvement in their utility bill.
Triple H Crew insulated this home in Bellport, NY with 10" of blown in cellulose insulation and also air sealed all the air leaks in the space to prevent air leakage and drafts. Insulation does not stop air leaks, we first carefully air seal the many various points where air from your home leaks up into your attic and is lost. Then the 10" of TruSoft cellulose insulation is blown into the space. Trusoft will not burn, get moldy or attract pests. Blown Insulation fills all gaps and odd shaped voids.
After Triple H Contracting completed a home energy assessment a this home in Ridge, it was determined that this customer's attic was lacking proper insulation, leading to comfort issues and excessive heating and cooling losses. To help improve energy efficiency and reduce energy costs, we insulated the attic bringing the R-Value from R-9 to R-49. We also air sealed the electrical and plumbing penetrations and installed a storage platform at the customer's request. R-value is a measure of how well an object resists the conductive flow of heat; the greater the R-value, the greater the resistance, and so the better the thermal insulation properties. R-values are used in describing the effectiveness of insulation and in the analysis of heat flow across assemblies (such as walls, roofs, and windows) under steady-state conditions.
This customer in Ridge had a free home energy assessment. They were looking to lower their utility bills. After completing the assessment, it was determined the home could benefit from new insulation. A mechanical cat walk was built to give the customer a neat and clean storage space. This home also had can lights. Can lights are a huge source of lost heat. In order to make the home more efficient can light covers were installed. Cellulose insulation was blown-in making the home more efficient.
