Attic Insulation Photo Album: Leesburg VA Attic Insulation and Spray Foam Duct Encapsulation

This Leesburg VA home was experiencing comfort variations from room to room in the house.  It was too hot in the warmer time of year and too cold in the cooler seasons.  The homeowner believed it was all due to their HVAC system not performing properly and had their HVAC company come out to do a check up.  After identifying that the HVAC system was working as it should, the HVAC technician suggested that the client call us to ask for help.  Our Sales Pro Tim went our to do a home performance inspection and found the cause of the comfort issues.  Tim determined that the attic condition was the cause of the problems.  The solution was to remove the less than adequate amount of existing insulation, apply ZypFoam to create a better air seal in the attic, use spray foam to encapsulate the HVAC ducts, install an insulated hatch cover for the attic and then to blow in TruSoft cellulose insulation to a higher level and cover more of the HVAC duct tubes throughout the attic.  This all helped to keep the cold air moving through the HVAC ducts from warming up as they passed through the hot attic and to keep the conditioned air in the living space of the home below from escaping.  This all helped to reduce the stress on the HVAC system making it run less and use less costly energy to heat and cool the home.
