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 Roosevelt called Triple H Contracting for a free home energy evaluation. This homeowner wanted to become more efficient. We suggested air sealing all the penetrations on the attic flat with spray foam. We built a mechanical catwalk around the HVAC system.Then we blew in cellulose insulation. The customer will now have easy access to the HVAC system. She will also see an improvement in comfort and the home will be more efficient.
This customer from Oceanside called us because he was interested in having his attic insulated and air sealed. He was looking to reduce the cost to heat and cool the home. Triple H air sealed and insulated his attic with 10' Borate Cellulose. A SuperPlatform was installed to help raise the R value of the insulation in the attic while providing a neat and clean storage space.
This is what a Properly Insulated Attic should look like. The Triple H Crew went in and removed all the old insulation in the attic. They then air sealed all the air leaks to prevent drafts. After air sealing the team then added a barrier to contain the new insulation coming in. Then they blew in new cellulose insulation to the optimum R-value. Making a less drafty, warmer, more comfortable home.
"Can lights" are holes in the ceiling. Air leaks between the fixture and the drywall, and through the fixture itself because of the many holes and seams in it. Dr. Energy Saver’s™ TiteShell™ Can Light Covers are installed over your can lights, fitted around wires and fixture struts, and sealed air-tight with expanding foam. TiteShell™ covers are safe from the fire hazards of hot bulbs and fixtures. Once TiteShells™ are installed, TruSoft™ insulation can be blown into the attic against and over them, eliminating costly gaps in insulation and adding R-value. Results are less drafts and more comfortable rooms, and a tighter more energy efficient home.
