Insulation & Air Sealing Before & After Photos

This customer had just moved into their home about a year ago and immediately began to feel the discomfort of extreme draftiness... and the subsequent high energy bills.  Our Energy Adviser performed an audit on the home and found that the primary issue was a lack of attic insulation in this Weedsport, NY home.  To solve this, we applied 6" of open-cell spray foam insulation all along the attic slopes.  The results were staggering!  Our initial blower door reading, prior to the work, with the attic door open was 6200 CFM50.  Afterwards, it tested out at 3000 CFM50 with the attic door AND the basement door open--that's an efficiency increase of over 50%!

After receiving a free home energy audit from Halco, this Memphis, NY customer opted for spray foam insulation to improve the energy costs and comfort of the home. A two-part foam was used (one part resin, one part reaction compound) and our technicians sprayed the cantilever of this residence. The spray foam insulation expands into every nook and cranny, sealing all leaks and creating a comfortable home for the customer to enjoy! 

This customer worked with Halco to convert his historical home in Fayetteville, NY into an energy efficient home. While the focus of this job was a complex geothermal system, Halco and the customer himself did a tremendous amount of work prior to installation. 

We fully believe in the concept of “Reduce Before You Produce,” so the home was tightened as an initial step.  We vacuumed out all the loose fiberglass and spray foamed the roof decks and gables, bringing the attic into the thermal boundary.
