This Dumfries VA home had condensation along the HVAC ducts (duct sweating) due to external heat making its way into the home via uninsulated rim joists on the side of the house. Hot air from outside was working against the cold air moving through the HVAC ducts and causing the duct sweating which was showing itself as water spots on the basement ceiling drywall and mold. Our production team encapsulated the duct with spray foam and then administered Aero Seal to the inside of the system to eliminate the opportunity for conditioned air to escape. This process will stop the duct sweating and keep the conditioned air inside of the HVAC duct from experiencing any external temperature influence. The air will reach the rooms it is intended to cool or heat and reduce the need for the HVAC system to work as hard as it had been. Improved comfort and reduced energy cost for the homeowner.
This Dumfries VA home was having comfort issues that the homeowner wanted to eliminate. They called us to come and help. Our Home Performance Sales Pro Carl completed a no cost inspection of the whole home and identified a need for some work to be done in the attic which would help improve the comfort and energy efficiency of the home. In addition to air sealing and installation of new Tru Soft cellulose insulation, Carl recommended having the HVAC duct sealed with spray foam at different points where joints and exchange boxes were allowing conditioned air to escape.

Sometimes less is more. This Springfield VA attic had areas with too little, and too much insulation. Collectively it was not working to properly insulate the attic and home. Our production team removed the existing insulation which was piled on and around this part of the frame and used spray foam to properly seal and insulate afterwards. this created a better air seal and a much cleaner look for the attic space.
This Arlington, VA homeowner was remodeling their home and wanted to use spray foam for their basement. Comfenergy recommended a closed cell spray foam without a thermal barrier for this project. This type of spray foam was used for its ability to be a vapor barrier. Also, the spray foam was being covered up by drywall, so there was no need for a thermal barrier.
