Attic Insulation & Air Conditioning Repair Contractor in Sea Girt, NJ

During our free home evaluation in Sea Girt, NJ, we often encounter homes that lack proper air sealing and insulation. As part of the assessment, we inspect the attic to evaluate insulation levels and pull back existing insulation to check for adequate air sealing. We never insulate an attic without first ensuring it is properly air sealed. Air sealing is crucial to prevent conditioned air from escaping into unconditioned spaces; ensuring homeowners aren't paying to heat or cool their attic. By combining air sealing with proper insulation, we can help make the home more comfortable and energy-efficient.

We recently worked on a project in Sea Girt, NJ, where a homeowner needed proper insulation for their small attic. After removing the old insulation and air sealing the attic, we installed TruSoft Cellulose insulation to achieve the optimal R-value of R-60. Despite the attic's challenging truss configuration, our experienced crew navigated it seamlessly. Now, this homeowner enjoys a more comfortable and energy-efficient home.

During our free inspection of a crawl space in Sea Girt, NJ, we discovered inadequate insulation. The foundational exterior walls lack insulation, and the porous cinderblock walls allows air to infiltrate, potentially leading to moisture issues and discomfort throughout the house due to the "stack effect." Additionally, the rim joists are unsealed, contributing to cold floors. To remedy these issues, we installed SilverGlo rigid foam boards on the crawl space's exterior walls to create a thermal barrier, preventing outside air infiltration. Sealing the rim joists with spray foam will further enhance insulation and comfort. Finally, we recommend encapsulating the crawl space floor with a 20 mil thick CleanSpace liner featuring Ultrafresh anti-microbial properties to improve indoor air quality. We're improving comfort and energy efficiency in New Jersey homes, one house at a time.

Upon inspecting the attic of this homeowner in Sea Girt, NJ, we discovered that the floor was not properly air sealed. Without air sealing, warm air from the homes conditioned space escapes into the attic during winter, needlessly heating the attic and increasing energy bills. This also leads to discomfort in colder months. In summer, the attic can reach temperatures over 140 degrees Fahrenheit, and without proper air sealing, this heat infiltrates the indoor space as hot air seeps through gaps in the attic floor. Upon examining these images, we can observe gaps in the floor that are approximately 1/2 inch wide, including gaps around the pipe and several open drill holes. To solve these issues, we use ZypFoam sealant to seal top plates, sill plates, and any exposed holes or gaps in the attic floor before insulation. This process creates a more effective thermal barrier between the attic and conditioned living space. By air sealing the attic, we significantly enhance comfort and energy efficiency in this home.

In Sea Girt, NJ we have a homeowner with poor insulation in the attic. We can see exposed fiberglass insulation that is doing next to nothing to insulate the attic. Also the attic is not air sealed which means air the owner is paying for is leaking into the attic. After removing the old insulation we created retaining walls and a new decking. Dense-packing underneath the new decking with our TruSoft cellulose insulation will allow a catwalk and storage area for the owner. Finally we blew-in TruSoft cellulose insulation to an R-Value of R-60. This homeowner now has a more comfortable and energy efficient home.
