Dave Hoh's Home Comfort & Energy Experts Before & After Photos

Before picture shows a typical attic heating, cooling and duct system. The main metal trunks and plenums are not sealed and only have a 1/2" liner inside. The results are in the summer when the system is trying to deliver approx 57 degree air through ducts, that are heating up to 130 degree surface temperatures, they lose a tremendous amount of energy. In this case the system was not keeping up with demand on hotter days.   The opposite is true in winter- ducts try to deliver 110 degree air through ducts that are cooling down to 30 degrees or less. The after picture shows  Duct Encapsulation, the duct system is sealed and insulated with approx 3" of closed cell spray foam. This impoved the peformance of the duct system by 40% or more and now the system keeps up even on the hottest days!!  If you have a modern system it makes sense to upgrade ducts, instead of installing a larger more expensive system to solve the problem.

This home owner in Toms River, NJ was experiencing cold drafts in the winter. Here we used our TruSoft blown-in cellulose and air sealed. We also, created an area for storage. This home will be more comfortable and energy efficient! 

In Toms River, NJ this family was experiencing drastic temperature differences in all the bed rooms. We had the solution, we air sealed around the can lights and insulated with our TruSoft Blown In Cellulose. We also left room for storage. 

Picture shows an bathroom fan vent uninsulated. This causes potential condensation when warm humid air is vented through a cold space. The after picture show proper insulation on same vent.

Typical attic soffit blocked by fiberglass insulation. After picture shows a soffit vent baffle peaking out above nice deep insulation. This maintains good attic ventilation.
