Photo Album: Winchester, VA Attic Insulation Upgrade
This Winchester, VA home was suffering from rooms that got too hot in the summer and too cold in the winter. This was having a negative impact on the comfort level of the home. Our sales professional Pedro was invited to come out and do a free home inspection to try and find out why. After completing the inspection Pedro was able to show the homeowner how their attic’s lack of any air sealing and the low R value insulation was failing to properly protect the house. He determined that the best course of action to end their discomfort would be to completely air seal the attic and replace the old ineffective insulation with blown cellulose top-of-the-line TruSoft insulation. Our production crew started by removing and disposing of the old ineffective insulation that had been the primary cause of the original discomfort. After that, they applied ZypFoam air sealant to all of the gaps in the attic floor. This sealed any potential leaks that could have led to uncontrolled unconditioned air seeping out from the attic and into the living spaces. Finally, the crew installed the new TruSoft cellulose insulation to keep the home comfortable year-round. All combined this work will alos help to reduce the energy cost for the home.
