Location: Dallas, OR
Challenge:
The high energy bills these owners were experiencing in their Dallas, OR home prompted them to find a contractor that could assist them.
Solution:
They found us online and booked an appointment. One of the things that distinguishes us from other contractors is that we actually get into the attic to investigate. Photo 1 shows the lack of insulation. Photo 2 shows a duct wrapped with fiberglass, but this never helps much (since fiberglass is not a good insulating material). Photo 3 shows how the fiberglass had come off the ducts. Photo 4 shows a duct not even attached!
Our insulation crew started by removing all the old insulation. This allows us to then air-seal the leaky places. They also covered the ducts in closed-cell spray foam—this won’t fall off!
The last part of the full process is to re-insulate the attic with blown-in cellulose.
