This home in East Norwhich, NY was uncomfortable. Since attics are vented, we should think of them thermally as outside in the winter. In summer because of the suns radiant heat, they are much worse than outside, reaching 130˚ on summer days. We need to keep an absolute boundary between our living space and the attic so inside air doesn’t move to the attic in the heating season, and heat doesn’t pass up through our ceilings in winter, and down from our ceilings in the hot summer. Triple H went to this home in East Norwich, NY to help this homeowner have a properly insulated attic space so he doesn’t have these problems. They air sealed the attic to prevent leaks, then blew in 12” of cellulose insulation to the contained space. Now this homeowner will have a warmer, more comfortable, less draft home that you’ll notice everywhere.
This homeowner from Merrick requested a Free Home Energy Assessment. The homeowner was experiencing cold rooms. It was clear that this home could benefit from new insulation. After blowing in new Cellulose insulation the homeowner will feel more comfortable.
A homeowner from Merrick, NY contacted Triple H stating the rooms above their garage are freezing, there is minimal to no insulation . Our home comfort consultant Bill performed a free evaluation of the home. Upon completion Bill provided solutions for the homeowner. Triple H air sealed the attic floor, then insulated the attic floor with 16" of TruSoft cellulose. The homeowner will now be comfortable in their home, and it will be more energy efficient.
A homeowner from Jericho had requested a free home energy assessment. This home would greatly benefit from proper insulation. We used a radiant barrier to help improve this home. A radiant barrier is a reflective surface that gets installed on the vertical walls with insulation. By using a radiant barrier it could make as much as a 15 or 20 degree difference in the temperature of this attic. A radiant barrier actually reflects the heat energy back towards its source. This will make the home warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer. It will also help save on the cost of utilities.
A resident in North Bellmore, NY was experiencing uncomfortable rooms above their garage. After an evaluation it was determined they had no insulation in the ceiling between the garage ceiling and the rooms above. Garages are not heated, but the finished rooms above them are. So, the garage ceiling must be insulated. The result is cold, drafty floors upstairs. Triple H dense packed the ceiling with TruSoft Cellulose Insulation. The cellulose is blown in and dense packed into the ceiling. This not only compresses existing loose fiberglass batts, but the density stops airflow through the floor from air leaks. Added this insulation results in warmer floors above, more comfortable rooms, and quieter floors upstairs without that hollow sound.
