Photo Album: Manufacturers Flaw with Our Homeowners Modern Modular House in Manasquan, NJ

In Manasquan, NJ, our customers charming Modern Modular Cape Cod Home had some design flaws. Design flaws are common with Modular Homes, but here at Dave Hoh’s Home Comfort and Energy Experts, our team can quickly discover these flaws. The homeowner’s complaints were simple; the upstairs rooms were too hot during the summers and too cold during the winters. Upon arrival, our team noticed the front porch had an overhang where the homeowner reported the above room would become too hot or too cold. When our crew inspected this home we found dirty fiberglass which is a tell-tale sign of air leaking through seams, gaps, and cavities of soffits. The kneewalls were not properly air sealed and the overhang would create cold air to seep through the rafters. When inspecting the kneewalls the ceiling joist bays were not properly insulate. We also found the metal ductwork in the attic was radiating off too much heat. Attics can reach up to 140 degrees in the summer; this alone can put added stress on your AC and raise the cost of the homeowner’s energy bill.
