Systèmes Éconergie Before & After Photos

Problem

Mr. Grushka had high heating and cooling costs. His house has become less comfortable.

Solution

Re-insulate the attic and make it more airtight.

Our team removed the old fiberglass insulation to seal all air leaks such as the joints between the boards and the chimney and then the holes. Then we blew 16” of cellulose fibers for a thermal value of R60.

The problem

During winter, ice dams and huge icicles formed on the roof of Mrs. Forget's house. A lack of insulation in the attic was the cause of this problem. Even though Mrs. Forget had re-insulated her attic a few years ago, but the same problem had reappeared.

The solution

We removed the fiberglass insulation that was in the attic to seal all air leaks (joints and holes) with expanded foam. Subsequently, we added deflectors to allow better ventilation of the attic. Finally, we blew a little more than 16'' of cellulose fibers to reach an R-60 value.

The problem: This client from Pointe-Claire in Montréal, had a problem with his house. He found his rooms upstairs not comfortable. They were hot during the summer, even with the air climatization on and during the winter his rooms were not comfortable as he wanted them to be. 

The solution: We replace the old isolation with a brand new one. We use blown cellulose for those types of projects. We blow over 16 inches to achieve R60 of value. 

Mrs. Eaves had problems with ice damming on the roof of her house in winter. So she contacted Systèmes Éconergie to re-insulate her attic.

In the attic of her house, there were only 10 inches of fiberglass insulation, which was far from enough. We removed the old insulation, sealed all the air leaks present on the attic floor with our expanded polyurethane foam, and then blew a little more than 16 in of cellulose fibers to achieve an R-60 value.

PROBLEM

Our client was concerned about their attic. The existing insulation in their attic was very old and worn out. Consequently, uncomfortable drafts had re-emerged throughout the house. As a result, energy consumption remained excessive, leading to higher Hydro bills. Our specialist noticed that there were still existing holes, allowing air to infiltrate.

SOLUTION

Our team of workers, managed by Colin, began by removing the existing insulation. A thorough examination around the entire attic was then conducted to ensure no existing air leaks were missed. Using our revolutionary product ZypFoam, we completed the sealing: air will no longer be able to escape into the attic. This will finally allow for the installation of our TruSoft cellulose insulation. We blew in approximately 17" to achieve the required R60 value.
