Comfenergy Before & After Photos

This Front Royal VA home had a detached garage with living space above.  The garage was often too hot in the summer or too cold in the winter.  Our Sales Professional Pedro identified an opportunity to improve those issues by dense packing the walls with insulation.  Our production team removed sections of siding before making hole in the plywood frame of the walls and then used tubes to blow i and pack the insulation into the empty cavities of the wall frame.  

Sometimes it can be helpful to improve the existing infrastructure in an attic to optimize energy efficiency for our clients.  in addition to air sealing and adding insulation, this Front Royal VA home had extra length in the HVAC duct system running through the attic.  Although it was well insulated, there was excessive distance for the conditioned air to travel, making it harder to deliver at the intended temperatures.  Our production crew shortened it in sections and created a platform and damning system to allow for walking and or storage in the attic near its opening.  A new attic hatch was installed which can zip closed when access to the attic is not needed.  

These before/after pictures are of Rcok Wool insulation being wrapped around a furnace flue pipe in the attic.  This rock wool is a flame resistant type insulation material that keeps the heat away from the fiberglass or cellulose insulation.  Thus, protecting the house from catching fire!!!

This attic space in Berryville VA had several Knee Walls that needed insulation upgrades.  Small closet sized spaces where the roof and walls connected, which were originally insulated with traditional bat insulation that was not working effectively due to lack of an air seal.  Our Home Performance Sales Pro Pedro designed an attic project that included using Foamax insulation panels and ZypFoam to air seal and insulate the walls and underside of the roof.  This allowed for the removal of the original insulation which was in between the attic framing.  Air sealing helped to eliminate external air and temperatures from impacting the attic and performance of the home, making it more comfortable and energy efficient.  

This Linden, VA homeowner was hving trouble keeping the top floor cool in the summer.  After a thorough comfort evaluation by Comfenergy it was determined that their HVAC ducting system was leaky and poorly insulated.  The air coming into the rooms was actually higher than the thermostat setting.  

Hard to keep a room 72 if the air you're pumping into it is 85!!!
