Photo Album: Leesburg Virginia Attic - Radiant Barrier and Insulation

These Leesburg Virginia homeowners wanted to make their home more energy efficient.  They had inefficient insulation in their attic along with uncontrolled air flow and evidence of rodents.  Many of the surface areas in the attic had thin to no insulation around areas that had gaps or holes which were allowing for conditioned air to escape the rooms below and heat up the attic rather than the home and living areas.  Our Certified Home Performance Sales Pro Eric was able to design a fill home project that would not only make the home more energy efficient but more comfortable year round as well.   Removing the old insulation, air sealing the attic floor and sealing up other areas allowing for air flow and then installing a radiant barrier on the underside of the roof before blowing in more cellulose insulation.  All of this will help hold in conditioned air below and keep the rooms comfortable with less energy used to heat and cool all year long.
