Systèmes Éconergie Before & After Photos

A homeowner in Lavaltrie, Quebec, contacted us concerning increased humidity levels and significant air leakage within their attic, which were compromising the overall energy efficiency of their home. Upon conducting a thorough inspection, our specialist identified inadequate insulation and numerous unsealed air gaps as clear contributors to the homeowner's concerns. To address these issues, we first removed the deteriorated existing insulation materials, which no longer provided sufficient thermal resistance. Next, we meticulously sealed all sources of air infiltration using ZypFoam, an advanced spray-applied foam designed to eliminate air leaks.

Following the air sealing, we blew in about 16-inch of TruSoft cellulose insulation, reaching a R60 insulation value, which is optimal for preventing heat loss in most of the regions in South Quebec. The cellulose insulation, not only provides superior thermal performance but also offers a natural resistance to pests and mold. These upgrades have improved the attic’s energy efficiency, ensuring better temperature regulation, reduced heating and cooling costs, and safeguarding the home against moisture infiltration and potential mold growth.

Our client in Saint-Hyacinthe had concerns about their attic. They entered their attic and felt an uncomfortable heat. Additionally, they noticed a damaged section of their existing insulation. Our specialist explained to the client that this heat is one of the consequences of air leaks from multiple sources, such as recessed lighting and holes for wires and pipes. Similarly, these air leaks will cause uncomfortable cold during the winter months. Moreover, the amount of existing insulation was inadequate. The result is an increase in Hydro bills due to the overuse of heating and cooling systems.

Our solution included the removal of the old insulation, sealing all sources of air leaks, and installing new insulation.

Our client was very satisfied with the results, as well as the entire process followed by our team.

Our client in Sorel-Tracy reached out since mold was starting to form in their attic. Mold formation in the attic can result in various problems, from health risks to structural damage. We removed the old insulation, air Sealed all sources of air leaks using our high-quality ZypFoam sealant, and installed the new cellulose insulation to reach R60The results were remarkable. The attic is now mold-free, energy-efficient, and comfortable.

A client contacted us after he removed the old existing insulation himself. He was asking us only to put fresh new insulation. As the attic was empty, we noticed the existence of mold spores, as well as some sources of air leaks. Thus, prior to blowing in our cellulose insulation, we managed to seal all the air leaks and remove all the mold spores before putting around 17 inches of our TruSoft cellulose insulation to reach the thermal value of R60. As a result, the attic was now very well insulated, which will increase the energy efficiency and the residential confort of the house.

Dans le cadre d'un récent projet, nous avons été confrontés à une isolation existante dans un grenier qui ne respectait pas la valeur thermique requise de R60, compromettant l'efficacité énergétique de la maison. Après une inspection minutieuse, nous avons commencé par retirer l'ancienne isolation inadéquate. Ensuite, nous avons procédé à un calfeutrage pour sceller toutes les fuites d'air susceptibles de provoquer des pertes de chaleur. Enfin, nous avons soufflé notre isolation en cellulose de haute qualité, atteignant ainsi la valeur thermique optimale de R60. Ce processus a permis d'améliorer considérablement le confort intérieur et de réduire les coûts énergétiques de la maison.
