Before & After Photos

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!

This homeowner called us and asked for an estimate on insulating and basement air sealing. When we arrived, the customer described concerns of cold floors and a damp crawlspace. Upon further inspection, we found mold and wood rot. The musty odors traveled upstairs into the home and living space causing an uncomfortable situation.

We removed the mold, replaced the wood floor and applied our Dr. Energy Saver Crawl Space Insulation System. We took out all of the old insulation and make sure the dirt floor was level. We sealed up the vents and air leaks with our insulated vent covers. Next, we insulated the crawlspace walls with 4' SilverGlo insulation boards. We blanketed a dimpled plastic drainage mat to create an airspace and thermal break. TerraBlock floor insulation was installed over the dimple mat. Finally, a heavy duty, 20 mil thick crawl space insulation liner was inserted across the entire dirt floor. This was sealed with mechanical fasteners and spiked to the floor. The crawl space insulation contained anti-microbial ingredients, helping to keep protect the area from bacteria and fungi growth.

Now that this crawlspace is fully insulated, air sealed, and insulated, these homeowners will enjoy a more energy efficient home!

This homeowner in Greenfield, MA called us out to their home to assess their energy issues. The problem was their old, nasty fiberglass insulation in their attic. Fiberglass insulation is fluffy and allows air to easily seep through, and exit or enter the home. Since attics are vented, we should think of them thermally as outside in the winter. In the summer, an attic will be much hotter than the outdoor temperature. We need to create a boundary between our living space and the attic so that the inside air doesn't move to the attic. We also need to make sure that air doesn't pass up through our ceilings. 

First we need to remove all of the old, nasty fiberglass insulation. We properly bag up and dispose of the materials and we are ready for our next step. We need to make sure that we air seal before we insulate. If you insulate without air sealing, you are just covering up areas where air leaks, and unable to fix them at a later date. We air seal all of the top plates with one-part fire retardant foam. Now we are ready to insulate. We use our TruSoft cellulose insulation, which will not burn, get moldy, or attract pests.

This homeowner called us out to their home because they have been experiencing very cold floors and rooms in their home. They added an addition to their home some years back, and underneath the addition had old, nasty fiberglass insulation.  Even though there is fiberglass, it sags down away from the floor and outside air is able to leak inside. This is not an appropriate amount or type of insulation to keep your home warm. 

To fix this we know that we need to remove all of the old, nasty fiberglass insulation. Next, we install Dr. Energy Savers patented SilverGlo foam insulation boards across the bottom of the floor. WE keep the SilverGlo in place with screws and washers. SilverGlo insulation boards are infused with graphite which increases the insulation value. It also has a radiant barrier to reflect heat so the insulation doesn't have to do the work on its own. This results in a much warmer home.

Thanks to Dr. Energy Saver by Eco Energy Solutions this homeowner can now live comfortably in their home!

This homeowner in Greenfield, MA called us with concerns about his energy bills. He believed that the insufficient basement insulation was part of the reason why his energy bills were high. Our Home Comfort Specialist came out to confirm this. 

We began by removing the old, inefficient fiberglass insulation from the rim joist. The rim joist is the perimeter of the floor framing system along the exterior of the house. Once that area had the fiberglass removed and was prepped, we sprayed our two part expanding spray foam into the rim joist. This spray foam fills every crack and crevice. This is a much more energy efficient solution. Now, he will be able to have a temperature controlled, warm basement for years to come, without worry about the spray foam molding, falling apart, or being a home for pests.
