Insulating an Attic in Holyoke, MA

This homeowner called us saying that he had an issue with his attic insulation. He stated that it was quite cold during the winters and he would like it replaced.

 

We were able to help this customer! We started by removing the batt insulation, bagging it and bringing it out. We also removed the wooden boards and debris from the attic. We then began air sealing, making sure that all cracks and crevices were sealed. We used Zypfoam™ one part spray foam to air seal. We then used a long hose attached to a machine that blows our TruSoft™ cellulose insulation into the attic. TruSoft™ cellulose is able to fill all gaps and odd-shaped voids, as it is blown in insulation.

 

Now, this homeowner has a much more comfortable home! 

Replacing Windows in Holyoke, MA

This homeowner in Holyoke, MA called us hoping that we would be able to help her with her windows. They were old and leaky, and left a lot to be desired. Additionally, she enjoyed displaying items in her windows, and was unable to do so with her windows. During the winter months, old, badly installed, leaky windows with poor insulation value will make people feel colder and more uncomfortable than they would with better windows. The homeowner may turn up the thermostat, causing their heating bills to go up. In the summer, these same windows allow more of the heat from the sun into the home, making them feel hotter than they should. They may turn up the air conditioning, causing their cooling bills to go up. Results: Cold and drafty rooms in the winter, hot rooms in the summer, higher heating and cooling bills.

 

We had the perfect solution for this customer - our Sunrise double-hung replacement windows! The vinyl material used to construct a Sunrise Window frame is already thermally superior to any other window framing material. Then it is made even better by the injection of polyurethane insulation foam into the frame channels which delivers an industry high-bar of R-7. Our expert window installers will also inject low expansion foam between the window frame and the wall studs to further insulate the window unit, improving the thermal barrier and infiltration resistance properties of the entire window assembly. Results: Warmer and less drafty rooms in the winter, cooler rooms in the summer, lower heating and cooling bills.

Installing SunHouse Basement Window Enclosures in Holyoke, MA

This homeowner in Holyoke, MA initially called us hoping to get help with her garage insulation. However, she was interested in having her entire home evaluated, as she had a few issues that she wanted to hear opinions on. During the evaluation, our Home Comfort Specialist asked if she had any other concerns in her home outside of the garage insulation. She said that the home, which she had moved into a few years prior, had window wells she wanted replaced. She said that they were particularly old, and were leaking water into the basement during rainstorms. 

 

We were able to help this customer! We were able to replace her old, leaking window wells with brand new SunHouse™ window enclosures. SunHouse™ features a sturdy, matching clear cover, which keeps out rain and leaves. The base is a bright color, ensuring that more natural light is reflected into the basement. And the bottom leans that there is no mud splashing on the windows, or weeds growing inside the enclosure! The homeowner was very happy, and is looking forward to not having leaking window wells.

Insulating an Attic with TruSoft™ Cellulose Insulation in Holyoke, MA

This homeowner in Holyoke, MA called us looking for blown-in insulation in her attic. She wanted to make her home more comfortable and energy efficient.

 

We were able to help this customer! We were able to replace the attic insulation with TruSoft™ cellulose insulation. We started by removing the old blown-in insulation using a large vacuum. We then went in and air-sealed around all of the points where air leaks up from the home to the attic. We did this using our Zypfoam™ spray foam. Once the atitc is air sealed, we used a long hose to blow in TruSoft™ cellulose insulation. TruSoft™ is amazing -- it does not burn, get moldy, or attract pests. The blown-in insulation fills all gaps and oddly shaped voids. The homeowner now can enjoy lower energy bills and brand new insulation!  

Insulating a Basement in Holyoke, MA

This homeowner in Holyoke, MA called us about getting her attic insulation. While discussing that over the phone, she mentioned she would be interested in basement insulation as well. She was hoping that she would be able to make her home more energy efficient and comfortable.

 

We had the perfect solution for this customer! We utilized two-part expanding spray foam. We insulated the rim joist (the perimeter of the floor framing system along the exterior of the home). We spray this foam in the rim joist and over the sill plate. Insulating the rim joist in this way seals all air leaks -- filling in the cracks and gaps that are present there. This prevents outside air from getting into the home. The homeowner is now very happy, and he is much more comfortable in his home!
