Replacing a Bulkhead Door in Somers, CT

This homeowner in Somers, CT called us hoping that we would be able to help him replace his bulkhead door, which had been previously removed. 

 

Fogarty's Home Services was able to help this homeowner. We were able to install a beautiful new bulkhead door that was the correct size for the pre-existing concrete. We caulked around the edges and installed flashing behind the door to ensure a tight fit. Now, they have a beautiful new bulkhead door! 

Replacing Basement Windows in Somers, CT

This homeowner in Somers, CT called us hoping that we would be able to fix some of the issues his home was having with cold rooms. When our Home Comfort Specialist arrived in the home, they realized that one of the issues they were having was that their windows were inefficient and thin. There was a lot of conditioned air being loss and even more outside air getting in.

 

Luckily for this homeowner, we were able to help them out with this. We replaced the old and inefficient windows with our Everlast™ basement windows. These windows feature double pane glass that is treated to reduce heat flow in or out of the glass. They also have vinyl frames and sashes -- meaning they will not rust, rot, or need paint. This homeowner now will have less air leakage in and out of their home as well as a more temperature controlled basement. Plus, it no longer has a rusty, old appearance. 

Insulating an Attic in Somers, CT

This homeowner in Somers, CT called us hoping to talk about his insulation. He had concerns about his attic due to some mold that was found there. He had high humidity in the attic and basement. His home was also very uncomfortable and he had a dust issue in the home that he could not find a cause for. 

 

We had the perfect solution for this customer. We were able to replace the attic insulation with TruSoft™ cellulose insulation. We started by removing the batt insulation, putting it in large bags. We then went in and air-sealed around all of the points where air leaks up from the home to the attic. We did this using our Zypfoam™ spray foam. Once the atitc is air sealed, we used a long hose to blow in TruSoft™ cellulose insulation. TruSoft™ is amazing -- it does not burn, get moldy, or attract pests. The blown-in insulation fills all gaps and oddly shaped voids. The homeowner is now much more comfortable in his home! 

Insulating a Basement in Marlborough, CT

This homeowner in Marlborough, CT called us hoping that we would be able to help her with her basement. She had issues with her home, specifically, she had musty smells and cold floors. 

 

This basement had no insulation. Therefore, the customer was hoping for insulation in the rim joist. The rim joist is the perimeter of the floor framing system along the exterior of the house.

 

Luckily, we had the perfect solution for this customer. We insulated the basement with two-part closed cell spray foam. This spray foam expands and fills all cracks and gaps in the rim joist and over the sill plate. Now, this home will be much more comfortable, and there are no more air leaks in the basement!

Duct Encapsulation in Attic in Bolton, CT

These homeowners in Bolton, CT were having a difficult time keeping their home comfortable. They have their heating and cooling system running through the attic, which, being an unconditioned space, is prone to extreme temperatures. Given those extremes, the system has to work harder to keep the air running through the ducts at the desired temperature despite the air around it.

We used our Tight n' True Duct encapsulation system to insulate the ducts. We started with our SilverGlo insulation board on the top side of the ducts. SilverGlo is a graphite infused EPS foam board with a radiant barrier, doing double the work to stop the transfer of heat. We then spray 1 inch of closed cell spray foam insulation on the sides of the ducts. The bottom of the ducts can't be sprayed, however, once we blow our TruSoft cellulose in the attic, covering much of the duct, the space will be buried. 

Thanks to Dr. Energy Saver by Eco Energy Solutions, the heating system doesn't have to work nearly as hard to keep the home comfortable, lowering energy costs.
