Front room over garage radiant barrier insulation application in Sandston, VA
This homeowner has been experiencing high energy bills and uncomfortable rooms throughout their home. They had our advisor assess their whole home for areas to help address these concerns. In the attic we found that the existing blown in fiberglass barely filled the floor joists in some areas, and offered little resistance to heat transfer between the attic and living space. A lack of air sealing along top plates and utility penetrations also allowed conditioned air to escape into the unconditioned attic.
The solution was to remove the existing insulation allowing us to access all of the top plates and utility penetrations for air sealing then blow in a new blanket of R-49 Cellulose. This will help the homeowner reduce conditioned air loss and heat transfer between the attic and their living space. That means lower energy bills and more comfortable rooms!
This Surry, VA homeowner reached out to us because they wanted to add insulation to their attic and help make the rooms below more comfortable. We added blown-in cellulose insulation and built a dam around the storage decking to prevent the insulation from falling in.
Brad & Bryan did a great job helping this Newport News, VA, Homeowner with their attic! This client just moved into their new home and, during inspection, found that they needed more insulation in the attic. (Having enough attic insulation means being more comfortable in your home and a more energy-efficient home!) After reviewing their options, the homeowner insulated the attic with an R-49 of blown-in cellulose insulation and a David Lewis Pull-Down Stair Hatch Cover.
