Insulation & Air Sealing Before & After Photos

This Geneseo, NY customer had an under insulated attic that was causing a significant amount of air leakage. In order to keep his energy costs low and his home more comfortable, the customer contacted Halco for a solution. Halco energy efficiency technicians air sealed the home and brought the attic insulation from 3" fiberglass to 18" loose blown cellulose. This home improvement will help keep the customer and his family comfortable year round!

After receiving a free home energy audit from Halco, this Painted Post, NY customer realized there was a significant amount of air infiltration in his basement. By insulating the basement walls with 2" of spray foam, we were able to bring this lower level of the home into the building envelope and make the home more comfortable and energy efficient. Unlike fiberglass, spray foam performs well in high-moisture environments, like a basement.

This Rochester, NY customer had an attic that was under-insulated resulting in a significant amount of air leakage. To make the home more comfortable, loose blown cellulose was added on top of the existing fiberglass. Cellulose insulation creates a tight thermal barrier that can reduce heating and cooling costs by as much as 32%. This customer is very excited to feel the results this upcoming winter!

This homeowner has hopes to finish this attic into usable space. After performing an energy evaluation, we realized there were a lot of leaks causing uncomfortable temperatures and expensive energy waste! We used spray foam insulation along the ceiling and gable ends. Now the homeowner has a more comfortable attic, already air sealed and insulated- it's ready to be finished!

Halco helped this Lyons, NY customer make his home more comfortable and energy efficient by adding insulation to the attic of the home. Dense packed cellulose with insulation webbing was the chosen method for this attic. Cellulose is an environmentally friendly insulating material made with shredded paper. It's fire retardant and treated with borate, a harmless antiseptic, to prevent mold and bugs. Dense packed cellulose is an excellent insulation method to stop air flow from moving through wall cavities.  Insulating this home will keep the customer cool in the summer, warm in the winter and reduce his energy bills!
