A resident of St. James had a free home energy assessment. The homeowner was looking to make his house more comfortable and save money on his bills. His attic insulation was old, causing the home to lack in efficiency. Triple H Contracting blew in cellulose insulation. Cellulose insulation is made from recycled materials and has an insulation value as high as R-4 per in. The insulation is treated with a nontoxic borate solution that gives the material a Class 1 fire safety rating. It is also resistant to mold and insects! By using the cellulose insulation to properly insulate this attic, the homeowner will now benefit from a more comfortable home and see an improvement in his bills.
This customer from St. James NY wanted to make their home more comfortable and energy efficient year-round. One of the recommendations was for the crawl space. The crawl space had no insulation and was causing the rooms above to be cold and drafty. Triple H air sealed and insulated the block walls of the crawl space with SilverGlo. The home will now be noticeably more comfortable.
A local homeowner from St. James, NY was interested in reducing the cost to heat and cool her home. Triple H performed an In-Home Evaluation. The attic of this home was not properly insulated and the penetrations along the attic floor were not sealed properly. Triple H Air Sealed all penetrations on the attic floor, built a mechanical CatWalk and then blew in Cellulose Insulation. The Air Sealing and Cellulose Insulation will keep the hot air out of the house in the Summer and the cool air from making its way in during the Winter months. The mechanical CatWalk will allow for easy access to the HVAC system in the future.
Our fellow neighbor in St. James requested we help them to lower the cost of heating and cooling the home. The attic of this home did not have proper insulation and it was not properly sealed. The ducts of this home were not sealed. When the ducts are not sealed the air moving through the ducts to your home is affected. If its summer and you are trying to get cool air into your home the attic heats the duct air in it. So instead of getting cold air temperature you expect into your home you get less cold air. This causes comfort issues and often makes your central air conditioning system work harder. If your system is working harder, it is costing you more. Triple H insulated these ducts using spray foam. Then used cellulose insulation to insulate the attic. Between the ducts being sealed and new insulation, this home will be much more comfortable and the homeowner should see a reduction in the cost of heating and cooling the home.
A fellow resident of St. James requested a free in-home evaluation. They were looking to reduce the costs to heat and cool the home. They also wanted to make rooms warmer in the winter. The attic of this home was lacking the proper lever of insulation needed to keep a home comfortable. The attic was not air sealed either. Triple H air sealed the attic floor and then used Cellulose insulation to bring up the R value. This home will now be much warmer, and the homeowner should see a reduction in the heating and cooling costs.
