This Reston VA home was uncomfortable for the homeowner year round. In the winter months the home was too cold and in warmer months the home was too hot. Our clients decided to go with our recommendation to upgrade the condition of their attic, including removal of the old insulation, removal of and then covering over an existing attic fan hole, air sealing the floor of the attic and then covering it all with blown in Tru Soft cellulose insulation. This will keep the conditioned air created by the HVAC system in the rooms it is intended to heat or cool and make the temperature of the home more even from one area of the home to another. It will also help to reduce the energy costs to live in the home.
This home in Spotsylvania VA was too hot in the summer months. Our Sales Professional Eric was able to identify a need for a radiant barrier in the attic to help keep the external sun rays from heating up the attic space. This will keep the attic space cooler and let the air seal and insulation that was also done, have a more effective impact on the comfort of the home.
This attic got all new insulation and air sealing done. We also rearranged the HVAC ducts that were previously laying all over the attic floor so that they are now under the insulation. Here is the attic hatch area before and after the work was completed.
This Great Falls VA home had rooms that were not comfortable all year round so the homeowners called us to see if we could help. The attic of the home had insufficient insulation with not enough existing in use and poor quality material. Our production team removed the old insulation, used Zyp Foam to air seal up the small cracks and gaps in the attic floor and then blew in Tru Soft cellulose insulation. We added volume compared to the previous insulation and made sure to cover the HVAC ducts as much as possible to help keep them even more insulated than they had been.
This Great Falls VA home had an addition built that was less comfortable than the rest of the rooms in the house. Our Home Performance Sales Pro Carl visited the home and performed a full inspection of the space to see how we could help improves things for the homeowner. Carl determined that the existing insulation in the attic space above was insufficient and that there was a lack of an air seal which was allowing conditioned air to escape. Our production team removed the old insulation, air sealed the space with Zyp Foam and then installed Tru Soft blown cellulose insulation.
