Spray Foam Insulation Before & After Photos

This Sterling VA attic received several steps and services to improve the comfort and energy efficiency of the home, one of which was having the HVAC ducts running through the attic encapsulated with spray foam.  The metal ducts had been susceptible to temperature issues when the attic would heat up or cool down depending on the time of year and weather outside.  When the attic was hot and cold air was passing through the ducts, the conditioned and cooled air would not reach the rooms it was intended to before safely.  When it was cold and there was heated air passing through, the cold ducts would work to reduce the heat of that air.  Encapsulating the HVAC ducts with spray foam keeps the air inside safe and helps to reduce the energy cost to create more heated or cooled air.  

A homeowner in Goldvein, VA needed some insulation in his home. Heat moves from more to less - out of a building in winter and into a building in summer. Insulation is needed to slow this heat flow down.  Closed cell spray foam adheres to all surfaces, expands in place, and air cannot pass through it. It is superior insulation with an R-value of 6.3 per inch. Closed cell spray foam weighs 2 lbs per cubic foot and special equipment is used to spray it. 

This Centreville VA home was experiencing comfort issues that the homeowners wanted to fix.  They called Comfenergy and had our Home Performance Sales Pro Jason come out to do a full home inspection.  Jason was able to identify that the cantilever design of the home was allowing external air to impact the temperatures of the living area and floors inside the home.  He recommended having the cantilever insulated and sealed with spray foam.  Our production team removed the panels needed to expose the cavity inside of the cantilever and applied the spray foam.  This will improve the comfort and energy efficiency of the home.  

The HVAC ducts in this Manassas VA home were sweating.  Condensation was building up when the cold air passing through the system was met by warm air in the frame work of the home.  This resulted in water spots on the ceiling.  Our Production crew was able to help solve this problem by encapsulating the HVAC ducts with spray Foam Insulation.  The duct system will now be cooler and safe for the cool air to travel through.
