Cold Basement in Centreville, VA

Challenge

This Centreville, VA home was not happy with their cold basement in the winter. Comfenergy performed an inspection and determined many things could be done very easily to make the basement warmer.

Solution

Comfenergy insulated and encapsulated the crawl space that was under a portion of the home to make it a part of the conditioned space adjacent to the full basement. Corey from Comfenergy suggested a return in the basement low in the wall to "pull" the heat off of the ceiling and down to the floor. Now this homeowner can relax in his man-cave throughout the winter without having to wear a jacket and blankets!

Project Summary

Evaluator: Corey Hatcher

This Centreville, VA homeowner had a cold basement until Comfenergy was put on the case.

A return vent was added low in the wall of the basement to pull the heat down from the ceiling.

Her's a photo of the back side of the return connecting to the HVAC ducting.

Comfenergy also installed a transfer grille in the old door that used to separate the basement from the crawl space. This will now allow heated air in and out since the crawl is now a conditioned area.

We even fixed their drafty fireplace!!! All in a days work for Comfenergy!!!
