Insulation Services Photo Album: Reduce heat/cool costs in Bridgeport, OH
Mike, of Bridgeport, OH, reached out to Home Environment Solutions in hopes of reducing energy costs for his home. Our home energy expert, Russ, performed an audit of Mike's home and found solutions to his heating and cooling woes. Our team of service technicians removed and disposed of the existing insulation to prepare the space for the installation of clean insulation. The team then installed baffles along the perimeter and air sealed with Zypfoam along the top seal and as needed to the exterior walls. OSB boards and Zypfoam were also installed on the soffits above the kitchen. The chimney was wrapped with RockWool and metal flashing and Fire Caulk was installed to air seal around the unit. SilverGlo 4" and OSB boards were used to construct the SuperPlatform Catwalk and vertical dams for blown-in TruSoft Cellulose insulation. All of this was capped off by installing a new scuttle cover, which was air sealed and insulated with 4" SilverGlo insulation boards, weather stripping, and Zypfoam. The customer was left with a much more efficient and comfortable home that cost less to heat in the winters and cool in the summers.
