Systèmes Éconergie Before & After Photos

The spectacular transformation we brought to the attic of a Greenfield Park home! Before our intervention, the household suffered from excessive drafts, exorbitant winter electricity bills, and even worrisome mold stains. Our team intervened with innovative solutions. We removed the old insulation, revealing hidden air leaks, then applied our Mold-X2 product to eliminate any trace of mold. Next, we sealed every hole, including the attic access hatch, ensuring airtight insulation. Finally, thanks to our TruSoft cellulose insulation, we achieved superior insulation quality.

The problem

The attic’s insulation of Mr. Gagnon's house was insufficient. There were only 10 in. and less fiberglass mats, which was equivalent to an R-25 value. This made her home uncomfortable, rooms were often too hot in summer and too cold in winter, and her house’s energy costs were very high.

The solution

Reinsulate the attic to achieve an R-60 value and thus make the house more comfortable and energy efficient.

We sealed all the air leaks on the attic floor, insulated the duct system as well as the chimney and insulated the vertical wall separating two attic levels. Then we installed vents all the way through the soffits and then blew just over 16” of cellulose fiber.

Problem

Mr. Lebel had his attic inspected by a Réno climat inspector in order to obtain a grant to re-insulate his attic. The current thermal R value of his attic was R17. The inspector recommended the insulation with a value of at least R50.

Solution

Remove the old wool insulation to seal the sources of air leaks present on the attic floor, add ventilation mats in the soffits and then blow a little more than 16 in’ of cellulose. This complete attic insulation solution provides the customer with an R60 value for their attic and ensures maximum comfort in their home.

The problem

Mrs. Barnes bought a new house in Longueuil and following our inspection she had to re-insulate the attic to improve the ventilation and the effectiveness of the insulation. The lack of ventilation caused a lot of humidity in the attic which created mold on the wood and led it to get rotten.

The solution

- Seal all air leaks in the attic. With our expanded polyurethane foam, we seal the joints and holes on the floor in order to eliminate air leaks.

- Seal and insulate recessed lights with boxes.

- Add vents to allow controlled ventilation in the attic and prevent air from coming into contact with the insulation.

- Blow a little over 16” of cellulose fibers. Highly effective, safe, and environmentally friendly insulation!

The problem

Ms. Smith contacted Systèmes Éconergie because she had problems with ice dams on her roof in winter. This very common problem is due to poor attic insulation and the presence of air leaks.

The solution

We removed the old wool insulation in order to seal the air leaks such as joints, holes and others. Then, we installed vents on each side of the attic to allow additional ventilation in the attic and prevent air from touching the insulation. Eventually, we blew just over 16” of cellulose fibers to achieve an R-60 value.
