Deep retrofit project in Winchester Va. Removed the siding, used Injection Foam to insulate a 100 year old farm house. Really great proect for Really Great Customers
A home in Winchester, VA had an attic with very little insulation. The Comfenergy Crew came out and properly air sealed and insulated the attic. Insulating your attic can help prevent air from escaping the house and stop outside air from coming in. Heating and cooling costs account for up to 50-70 percent of the energy used in an average home.
This Middletown, VA homeonwer was complaining that their top floor was cold and drafty in the winter. Upon a full comfort and energy evaluation by Comfenergy, we determined one of the issues to be leaky can lights in the ceiling. Each can light is merely a 6" diameter hole that allows heated air to escape, and cold drafts in during the winter.
Rock wool can light covers lessen this leakage and also provide a necessary thermal and ignition barrier from the hot can light to protect against the possibility of fires.
Vertical walls with little/no, or fiberglass insulation on them allow the 130 degree attic heat to radiate through the drywall into a bedroom. SilverGlo foam boards (4" thick) can fix this problem.
Cellulose Insulation was used to dense pack the cathedral ceiling of this cottage that had no insulation in the attic. We also found a cantilevered section that required dense packing as well.
