Comfenergy Before & After Photos

This sunroom in Fairfax, VA was very uncomfortable. Our team spray foamed the ceiling to make this room much more comfortable and energy efficient! 

We often find attics that need to have insulation upgrades but cannot support the new material without it potentially moving around the attic.  Blown insulation can fill up empty spaces in an attic but it if is not contained, it can shift when the home owner or service technicians need to access the attic for different reasons.  We often build out these type of support walls to create insulation damns, holding the material in place and allowing for clear access to navigate the attic in other areas.  The height and angle of the walls can allow for different levels of insulation to be blown in.  

This home in Fairfax VA had a multiple stage project to make the home more energy efficient and more comfortable.   One step was the encapsulation of the HVAC duct system in the attic with Spray Foam.  The existing ductwork had several holes at the joints where air was allowed to escape, making the HVAC system less efficient and requiring it to work harder and create more conditioned air.  The spray foam covering it protects the air from escaping and keeps attic temperatures from impacting the conditioned (cooled/heated) air travelling inside.  This will reduce the amount of energy used by the HVAC system and allow for better passage to the rooms it was intended to reach.  

This home in Fairfax VA had roof leaks that were allowing water and excessive moisture into the attic which resulted in the early stages of mildew and mold.  We developed a project to help fix the attic that involved several steps and coordinating around other services providers that would eventually fix the roof, remove and clean any mold and then paint the inside of the attic after we removed all of the existing insulation.  Once painted and ready for new insulation, we used Zyp Foam to air seal the attic floor before finally blowing insulation in to cover the surfaces and properly insulate the home.  

These Fairfax Virginia homeowners called us to see if we could make some uncomfortable rooms warmer this winter.  There were 2 specific rooms in their home that were above a crawl space and would get noticeably colder than other areas of the home.  Our Certified Home Performance Sales Pro Eric was able to identify several services that would help.  The crawl space was vented and allowing external air and temperatures to impact the home.  Additionally the existing insulation was not air sealed so that cold air coming through the vents was working into the home above.  We removed the existing fiberglass and Styrofoam insulation before using spray foam to seal up the uncontrolled air flow in the crawl space as well as insulate.
