Systèmes Éconergie Before & After Photos

A client in Chateauguay was worried about his uninsulated kneewall space in the attic, which was contributing to high Hydro bills and inconsistent indoor temperatures. After our comprehensive renovation, including sealing air leaks and installing cellulose insulation and SilverGlo, the attic now has improved efficiency, comfort, and health benefits for the home.

Our client in Pierrefonds contacted us for an attic inspection and potential repairs before winter. Our specialist, Alexandrine, identified excessive moisture due to air leaks, which could lead to mold and reduced insulation effectiveness. Under foreman Colin's supervision, we removed the old insulation, sealed all air leaks with ZypFoam, and installed new TruSoft cellulose insulation, ensuring improved residential comfort and energy efficiency.

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.

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.

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.
