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

This house in Sea Girt, NJ's lack of insulation in the attic was not keeping the customers heated or cooled air inside of the home. Allowing this air to escape your home means you are spending more money to heat and cool than you should, and tyou are not as comfortable as you could be in your home! You can see the difference after adding 11" of cellulose, how it looks like a warm wool blanket pulled over the top of the house. With no cracks or gaps for the air to go, it is forced to remain in the house. Simply upgrading your insulation can yield amazing results in both comfort in the home, and savings on energy costs.

We are in Sea Girt, NJ with a homeowner who contacted us about an uncomfortable, cold and drafty house. When our team inspected the owner’s attic we saw old fiberglass insulation, gaps or open soffits, leaky ducts and inadequate insulation.

To solve our customers issues we spray foamed the leaky ducts and installed our SilverGlo insulation panels over the metal ductwork. This prevents any heat radiating off the metal ducts and eliminates any leaky ducts. Once our team spray foams the rim joists we then use our orange ZypFoam sealant to air seal all the seams, gaps and open soffits or holes. We build dams with wooden planks to contain our TruSoft Cellulose insulation. Finally, our team blows-in our TruSoft Cellulose insulation and then uses our orange ZypFoam sealant to seal any seams on the attic decking.

Our customer now enjoys a clean attic with a catwalk that can be used for storage. With the proper insulation and techniques from our team, we have eliminated any drafts or uncomfortable rooms in the owners house.

The homeowner in Sea Girt, NJ, experienced comfort issues on the second floor. Upon conducting a free inspection, we discovered that the attic was in poor condition. Our team took action by air sealing the attic using ZypFoam sealant, sealing and encapsulating leaky ducts, installing can light covers to seal the can lights, adding SiverGlo rigid foam boards to insulate adjoining walls, properly incorporating baffle vents for ventilation, and blowing in TruSoft cellulose insulation to achieve an R-60 value. These measures significantly enhanced the home's comfort and energy efficiency for the homeowner.

While inspecting this home in Little Silver, NJ, we discovered that the attic was not properly air-sealed, and the supply and return ducts were leaking conditioned air. Additionally, the existing insulation was inadequate to effectively insulate the attic and the home. To address these issues, we encapsulated and sealed the ducts using SilverGlo foam boards to eliminate air leaks and to protect them from the summer heat. Next, we air-sealed the attic floor and constructed wooden retaining walls to contain blown-in TruSoft cellulose insulation to R-60. We also created catwalks for easy access to the mechanicals. As a result, this homeowner now enjoys a more comfortable home with improved energy efficiency.

In Little Silver, NJ, a homeowner was dealing with poor attic insulation that led to discomfort, energy waste, and unusable storage space. We solved the problem by installing a SuperAttic system, which moves the insulation barrier to the roofline, creating a more stable, conditioned attic environment. This upgrade not only made the space suitable for storage but also improved comfort throughout the home and lowered energy bills through better insulation and ventilation.
