Comfenergy Before & After Photos

This Ashburn VA home was the recipient of a whole attic systems project.  Removal of old insulation, air sealing using Zyp Foam, foam paneling used to cover several HVAC exchange boxes and Tru Soft cellulose insulation blown in to to cover it all.  This will all help to reduce the energy cost it takes to heat and cool the home year round and make the home more comfortable for the owners. pictured here BEFORE is the attic with its original insulation and no air sealing below.  The AFTER photo shows the old insulation removed and Zyp Foam having been used to seal all of the gaps and cracks where conditioned air had been able to leak from the home below.  

This Ashburn VA home was uncomfortable to the homeowners throughout different times of year.  They called us to see if we could help find a solution, which included a full attic project made up of air sealing, can light covers, insulation and having the chimney pipe wrapped and insulated with rock wool and spray foam.  

This Ashburn VA home had a room over its garage that shared walls with a partial section of the attic.  The homeowners called us to try and help make that room and other areas of the home more comfortable.  Our team air sealed the space with Zyp Foam before blowing in more Tru Soft cellulose insulation.  There was a small wall section of the attic with framing that created blocks of open space.  Our team used Spray Foam to insulate those blocks and finish the project.  

This before and after shoto series shows a vertical wall adjacent to an attic.  Poorly insulated walls like this can allow hot air from the attic to radiate through the drywall and heat the room on the other side.  Closed cell spray foam keeps the heat away from the wall and protects it from heating the room on the other side!!

This Catlett, VA homeowner was having issues with their master bedroom being hot in the summer and cold in the winter. Upon an evaluation by Comfenergy, we found one of the walls of the master bedroom were adjacent to the attic above the garage.  The only insulation providing a thermal barrier between this wall and the hot/cold attic on the other side, was falling fiberglass insulation.

Even if fiberglass were in place on this wall it still would not stop air movement and heat transfer through it.  Fiberglass is ONLY effective if it is sandwiched on all sides by an air barrier.

Comfenergy used 2" thick SilverGlo EPS foam boards to build an additional R10 of thermal barrier along the back side of this wall.  More importantly it creates an air barrier for the fiberglass and makes it effective!

Now this customer has a total of R23 on this wall and its air tight!  Comfort at its best!
