Systèmes Éconergie Before & After Photos

PROBLEM

Winter is almost over. However, there has been an excess of drafts in the house, which was uncomfortable. Additionally, the Hydro bills were very high, especially during the months of December, January, and February due to the overuse of heating systems to compensate for the drafts. Consequently, the client does not want to repeat the same scenario next winter. During our free inspection, our specialist Dan examined the attic. He immediately noticed the inadequate amount of insulation. Furthermore, upon seeing the ventilation ducts, Dan identified a sealing issue.

SOLUTION

Our team of workers, led by Colin, began by removing the old insulation. This step is important because many holes allowing air to escape may be hidden underneath. They then conducted an extremely detailed inspection to identify, without exception, all sources of air leaks. Our excellent product ZypFoam is used to seal air leaks. As for the attic access hatch, it is the largest existing hole in the attic that can allow air to escape, hence the importance of insulating it very well. For this purpose, we used our revolutionary thermal insulation, SilverGlo. Finally, we blew in approximately 17 inches of TruSoft cellulose fiber insulation on the attic floor to achieve an optimal thermal value of R60.

The problem:

The attic of Ms. Samoluk's house has not been re-insulated for more than 10 years. She has noticed that her house was becoming less comfortable, due to coldness and mold increase which led to higher energy costs.

The solution:

To have a good attic insulation system, our client chose our complete attic insulation service. Our team removed the old insulating wool that was moldy in some places, sealed all the gaps with polyurethane foam and then insulated the recessed lights. Finally we blew 16" of cellulose fibers.

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.

The problem

Mr. Zerczy had only 5 to 10 inches of fiberglass insulation in his attic. The lack of insulation made his house very uncomfortable and he had noticed that the energy costs were getting very high.

The solution:

Remove the fiberglass insulation in order to seal all air leaks on the attic floor such as joints, holes, and recessed. Install vents all along the soffits to ensure good ventilation of the attic and prevent air from coming into contact with the insulation and then blow a little more than 16 in cellulose fibers to obtain an R-60 value.

Problem:

Mr. Ouellette contacted Systèmes Éconergie because his attic was very damp and mold was growing. He wanted to have it checked by a specialist.

Solution:

Our team cleaned the surfaces with our MoldX2 product to remove the mold, added ventilation mats in the soffits to improve air circulation and avoid the humidity and then blew 16 in. of cellulose fibers.
