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

This homeowner in Long Branch, NJ needed our help insulating their crawl space. Vented crawl spaces need to be sealed properly to prevent outside air from seeping into the crawl space or house. When hot or cold air vents into the crawl space it causes cold floors, drafts above the crawl space, cools heating ducts, causes relative humidity, condensation, odors, pests, mold, rot and more.

We first spray foamed the rim joist, and then our team fastens a piece of our SilverGlo insulation panel over the crawl space vents. Next we installed our SilverGlo insulation panels over the concrete blocks. Finally we use orange ZypFoam sealant to seal the seams of the SilverGlo panels.

Our customer now has a more comfortable house, lower fuel and electric bills.

This homeowner in West Windsor, NJ had an attic hatch that was not properly insulated or air sealed. The owner was paying more for their energy bills because conditioned air was consistently leaking into the attic. We air sealed the attic floor and the framing of the attic hatch using orange ZypFoam sealant. Our team created retaining walls to contain the TruSoft cellulose insulation that we blew-in. Next we created a catwalk and dense packed underneath the catwalk using TruSoft insulation. The catwalk is used to help the homeowner or technician reach any of the mechanicals for maintenance purposes. Finally to create a better air tight entrance we installed our SilverGlo insulation boards onto the attic hatch door.

This homeowner now has a much more comfortable and energy efficient home.

A conditioned room with an adjoining wall to the attic in Manalapan Township, NJ had exposed fiberglass insulation. Exposed fiberglass insulation does next to nothing to insulate. We can see evidence of this by the dirt built up on the exposed fiberglass insulation. The homeowner’s main comfort issues are in the conditioned adjoining room to the attic. If the attic isn’t air sealed, insulated, and ventilated properly the attic air will circulate through the attic and into the conditioned room. We installed our SilverGlo insulation panels which have a radiant barrier to reflect heat and the polystyrene foam is infused with graphite giving it a 24% higher insulation value per inch than standard EPS foam. In this after picture we are still in the process of insulating the rest of the attic.

The attic of a Manchester Township home had insufficient insulation, relying on exposed fiberglass that provided little protection. Our inspection uncovered problems with air sealing and ductwork leaks, which commonly lead to high utility bills and homeowner discomfort. To tackle these issues, our team used ZypFoam for air sealing, mastic tape for duct sealing, built retaining walls, and applied TruSoft cellulose insulation, resulting in an impressive R-60 insulation value. Consequently, the homeowner now experiences a more energy-efficient and comfortable home.

This homeowner in Freehold Township, NJ had a large poorly insulated cathedral ceiling with two skylights. We can see dirty exposed fiberglass insulation doing next to nothing to insulate the adjoining walls. Also the cathedral ceilings have exposed fiberglass insulation leaving outside air to circulate or leak through the rafters and into the attic creating an uncomfortable room.

To solve this issue we installed our SilverGlo insulation panels onto the adjoining walls of the cathedral ceiling and skylights. Using orange ZypFoam sealant we air sealed the whole attic floor and seams of the SilverGlo insulation panels. Next using TruSoft cellulose insulation our team dense-packed the adjoining walls and the slope of the roof to help insulate the cathedral ceiling. Finally we blew-in TruSoft insulation onto the attic floor to complete the insulation. This house is now more comfortable and energy efficient.
