Dirty air ducts for this Kent County home was one of the issues causing the family's allergies. After the duct work was sealed they were cleaned to remove the remaining dust. Now that the ducts are repaired, less outdoor allergens are able to enter the home.
The before image is of an old wooden-framed window looking into the crawl space of a Delmarva home. This framing has cracks and spaces allowing air and water to enter into the crawl space. The after picture shows a newly installed window, completely sealed prevention any energy loss through the crawl space and damage from water.
Dr. Energy Saver's Super Attic system covers the entire attic with SilverGlo insulation and is air sealed to prevent the hot air and temperatures from your roof from radiating down into your attic space and heating up the rest of your home. After installing Super Attic in your home, your attic will be up to 30 degrees cooler! This is a huge step to helping you be more comfortable in your home. In these images, you can see how after the SuperAttic Insulation System is installed, all rafters have been fully covered and the window has been air sealed.
The before image shows the difficulty of installing insulation or changing the insulation in your home. Walls and ceiling have to be removed to access the cavity where you want to install the insulation. Dr. Energy Saver has a better way. As shown in the after photo, all we need to do is drill a small hole into the wall where we wish to have the insulation and inject foam insulation into the cavity. This provides a greater R-value than traditional fiberglass batts, and is much easier and less damaging to install.
Radiant barriers can be an important addition to your attic. The reason why it seems so shiny is because this allows it to reflect the radiant heat that is passing through the roof. Although it will not prevent all heat from passing through, it does act as a great barrier (hence the name) and can cool your attic down up to 20 degrees!
