Mr. Leduc contacted Systèmes Éconergie because he wanted to re-insulate his attic. He did well because his attic was very poorly insulated. In some places there were only 5 in’’ of fiberglass!
We removed the old insulation, sealed all air leaks, insulated the access hatch and blew 16” of cellulose fiber to achieve an R-60 value.
The problem
The lack and the poor insulation of Mr. Robinson's attic made the rooms in his house very uncomfortable. He also noticed that the energy costs were getting higher, way more than the previous years. He therefore contacted Systèmes Éconergie for a free estimate.
The solution
Our team of experts removed the old insulation to seal all air leaks on the floor such as the joints between the boards. They insulated the access hatch and blew 16” of cellulose fibers to have an R-60 value.
With this solution, Mr. Robinson will be able to regain the comfort of his home and will have less energy costs.
The problem :
The client wanted to change her attic insulation because it was old and it wasn't insulated properly. And when we were doing our inspection, we found many cracks that leaked air from the attic.
The solution :
With the help of our certified attic insulation specialist, we established a plan and found a solution for the client's needs.
We started by removing all the old isolation. We then fixed all the cracks with our Zyp foam in order to air seal which is imperative to do before any insulation work. We then insulated all the attic with our cellulose fiber to get an R60 insulation value.
Now, this client has a better isolated attic with a much higher energy efficiency, which will help them save money and enjoy a more comfortable home.
Mr. Tang wanted to re-insulate his attic because he had problems with ice damming on his roof in winter. In addition, he felt drafts of cool air in the rooms upstairs. This was due to poor insulation in his attic.
Our solution to our client's problem was to first remove the old fiberglass insulation in order to seal all the air leaks that were present on the attic surface (joints, holes, etc.). Then we installed vents on each end of the attic to finally blow out just over 16” of cellulose fibers.
The problem
Mr. Omar had several problems with his attic:
- Lack of insulation
- Insulation in the soffits prevents air circulation in the attic
- Ice dam on the roof in winter
- Condensation on the ceiling on the upper floor.
The solution:
Remove the wool to seal all air leaks on the attic floor such as joints, holes, and recessed. Install vents throughout the soffits to allow airflow into the attic. Insulate the chimney and then blow out just over 16” of cellulose fiber to achieve an R-60 value.
