Before & After Photos

This homeowner in Somers, CT called us hoping that we would be able to fix some of the issues his home was having with cold rooms. When our Home Comfort Specialist arrived in the home, they realized that one of the issues they were having was that their windows were inefficient and thin. There was a lot of conditioned air being loss and even more outside air getting in.

Luckily for this homeowner, we were able to help them out with this. We replaced the old and inefficient windows with our Everlast™ basement windows. These windows feature double pane glass that is treated to reduce heat flow in or out of the glass. They also have vinyl frames and sashes -- meaning they will not rust, rot, or need paint. This homeowner now will have less air leakage in and out of their home as well as a more temperature controlled basement. Plus, it no longer has a rusty, old appearance. 

This homeowner in Andover, CT reached out to us when she found out that the entirety of her attic insulated was moldy. Our Home Comfort Specialist arrived at the home and immediately noted that they were correct - and that something needed to be done to help them as soon as possible for the safety of the family. 

We went to work, immediately removing the fiberglass attic insulation that was there. We then sealed all air leaks using our one-part Zypfoam, and installed baffles to keep some air flow from the outside to the attic. We then insulated with our TruSoft™ blown-in cellulose insulation. This insulation is fire resistant, mold resistant, and is not a comfortable home for pests. 

This homeowner now has a more comfortable and safe home for herself and her family as a result of our work! 

This homeowner in Granby, CT had called us out to his home because he wanted to stop dealing with his cold floors in the winter. To understand why this is happening we have to know that houses like many things are affected by pressure. In the attic there is a positive pressure and in the basement there is a negative pressure. When air comes into our home it comes in from a negative pressure zone. One of the main entry points is the rim joist. In the winter cold air rushes in through this zone and makes the floors above very cold.  To fix this, we have to insulate the rim joist. To do this we use a 2-part expanding spray foam. This allows us to get every inch of this space and air seal it properly. Once this is done the cold air cannot get into the basement to make the floors cold!

This home owner in Greenfield, MA called us out to see if we could help make her home more comfortable. When our building science specialist was on his inspection, he noticed all the mold in the attic. Fixing this issue became priority number one. This mold was growing because in the winter, the heat you they paid for was leaking into the attic. Now this heat in the attic was hitting the cold roof deck and creating condensation. This condensation was what was allowing mold to grow.

To stop this from occurring, we have to properly air seal and insulate the attic space so no hot air can escape into the attic. To do this, first we remove all the old insulation. Then we have to air seal every top plate and penetration into the attic. Once this is done, we can blow our Trusoft cellulose insulation to an R-value of R-60.

Now that Dr Energy Saver by Eco Energy Solutions has come and finished this project, this home owner will not have to worry about mold ever again!

This homeowner called us out to their home to take a look at a serious problem they were experiencing. The original problem was that these homeowners had a large mold problem in their attic. While conducting our Full Home Energy Evaluation we noticed that they had a very old, corroded wooden basement window.We asked the homeowner if they were paying a high heating bill, and they agreed that they were. We assessed the mold problem, and used our Dr. Energy Saver treatments to resolve this. Next we had to explain to this customer that an old wood basement window in a stone foundation are very inefficient. When this type of window is in a stone foundation it allows a lot of heat to escape buy conduction through the cold glass. This is because a home has lower air pressure at the bottom, the basement, and sucks a great deal of cold air in from the exterior of the home. Another issue that was occurring was because of the damn environment near the ground, causing rot on the existing window. Now we know what we need to do.

To fix this basement window, we know that we need to fully replace the entire window with our Dr. Energy Saver High Efficiency Window. We must first remove the old window, and frame completely. We make sure to clean and properly prep the window area for a new window to be put in. The next thing we do is install our new High Efficiency Windows. These windows are double pained, with a special metallic coating on top to reduce heat flow in or out through the glass. The last step is to seal the window with our window and door foam! These windows will never rot, rust, or need to be repainted. Now that this new window is set and put in these customers can live more healthy, happy, and energy efficient in their home!
