Before the arrival of our insulation experts, this home was poorly insulated with old batt fiberglass insulation. When our home comfort specialist evaluated this home, they found that to decrease the cost of the energy bills the homeowners were receiving, they needed to upgrade their attic insulation. Our team of insulation experts was quick to arrive and help these homeowners! Upon arrival, our experts removed and disposed of all of the existing insulation, completed attic air-sealing with ZypFoam, and insulated this home up to an R-value of 60! Our method is not only known to be energy efficient but cost-effective; the combination of both of these will help decrease the cost of heating and cooling for this home!

Job Stories From Schenectady, NY
Improving Overall Comfort in Schenectady, NY

When Mr. C first called us here at Global Dwelling, he was concerned about the performance of his home. He said that not only was he receiving high-cost energy bills but also felt extreme discomfort in his home during both the summer and winter months. He wanted a solution for his home before the changing seasons, so we sent our highly trained and experienced home comfort specialist, Dorrell Kitson to his home to provide an energy audit and find what was causing the energy inefficiencies. During the evaluation, Dorrell found that the attic was poorly insulated with old batt fiberglass insulation that needed to be replaced and upgraded. 

 

Our team of insulation experts started the upgrade process by first removing all of the old batt fiberglass insulation from the attic space. Once cleared, the attic was ready for air sealing! Our team thoroughly air-sealed the attic by using ZypFoam, which will expand once applied, sealing off any leaky air from getting into the space! Once the attic air-sealing was completed, our experts were then ready to upgrade the attic with our premier method of insulation, TruSoft cellulose! Our team blew in up to 18 inches of cellulose which will not only provide energy efficiency for the home but will also reduce the costs to heat and cool the home. Because our method is known to insulate a home up to an R-value of 60, these homeowners will no longer have to worry about high-cost energy bills!

Reducing High Energy Costs for Mr. T!

When Mr. T first contacted us here at Global Dwelling, he said that his home was both uncomfortable and costing him a fortune in energy bills. We sent our home comfort specialist, Lukas to his home to thoroughly evaluate the attic, basement, or crawlspace and provide a solution that would best suit his unique home! Our specialist, Lukas, provided him with a solution that would turn a poorly insulated and leaky attic into an air-sealed and properly insulated attic without removing the existing decking. 

 

We quickly sent our team of expert attic insulators to the home to help restore peace of mind for Mr. T. Upon the arrival of our experts, they first began with removing and disposing of all of the old batt fiberglass insulation that was previously used to insulate the home. The old insulation was no longer providing any R-value for the home, resulting in high-cost energy bills due to a loss of energy through the attic. Once our experts completed removing all of the old insulation, they then air-sealed the attic by using ZypFoam, because once applied it will expand and enclose any once-accessible air penetration. In order to properly insulate the attic while also optimizing storage for Mr. T, our experts first started with insulating the floor with SilverGlo boards that were secured to the existing flooring. Our experts air-sealed the SilverGlo boards with ZypFoam to diminish the chances of leaky or unwanted air from getting into the space and affecting the temperature. Our team then secured plywood boards on top of the SilverGlo so that Mr. T could easily navigate through his attic space. Lastly, our experts blew in our premier method of insulation, TruSoft blown-in cellulose! Our team blew in up to 18 inches of cellulose into the eves of the attic where they previously air-sealed with ZypFoam. Not only will our method insulate this home to an R-value of 60, but will also provide energy efficiency, resulting in lowered energy bill costs!

When our specialists evaluated the home, they found that the attic had layers of old batt fiberglass insulation that was no longer providing proper r-value for the home.

Our team of expert attic insulators began with removing all of the nasty old batt fiberglass insulation and properly disposing of it. Our experts then air-sealed the attic by using ZypFoam which will seal any air penetrations from allowing leaky or unwanted air into the space. With the attic thoroughly enclosed from accessible air penetrations, our experts were then ready to install our TruSoft cellulose! Our team insulated the home up to an R-value of 60 by blowing in up to 18 inches of cellulose which will settle to 16 inches. Not only will our method provide an R-value greater than 40, but will also help lower the costs of energy bills because of its energy efficiency.

It was discovered during her evaluation that she was losing the most energy through her attic. Our specialist found that not only was the attic poorly insulated, but it also was not properly air-sealed. 

 

Our team was quick to arrive and help fix Mrs. B's uncomfortable home! Our insulation experts first began with removing and disposing of all of the old batt insulation that was previously used to insulate the home. The attic was then ready for air sealing!

Upon the evaluation, it was discovered that the main problem area of his home was the attic and it needed to be upgraded before the cold season approached and caused even more uncomfortable living for Mr. P. 

 

Our attic insulation contractors were quick to arrive and fix his home! Our team first started by removing all of the old batt fiberglass insulation that was in the space and properly disposed of it. After the removal, the space was then ready to be properly air-sealed by our experts! Our attic air-sealing experts thoroughly air-sealed all points of easily air penetrations. They completed this step by using ZypFoam, this is our top choice because once the product is applied it expands so even the smallest cracks and creases are properly closed off from leaky and unwanted air!

Moisture Issues in The Basement

Customer Andrew was looking to add some office space in his basement so that he didnt have to travel to the office everyday.  He contacted Global Dwelling to come out and take look at some work that was previously completed by anoher contractor, ad was not delivering the desired result.  Upon inspection, Andrew had fiberglass insulation installed that was coverd by a vapor barrier and never fully secured.  A lot of the fiberglass was moist and damaged.

We were able to help Andrew get to his goals by Air Sealing the Rim Joists, and installing Basement to Beautiful panels, that would keep things dry and cozy in his new office.
