Dr. Energy Saver has fixed uncomfortable homes throughout Delmarva for over 6 years. This home here in Ridgely, Maryland was no different.
Without the proper air sealing and insulation, air leaked out of the living quarters of the home and into the attic. Causing the cost of home ownership to rise.
Dr. Energy Saver has air sealed and insulated this attic to restrict any air movement from leaving out through the attic and another satisfied homeowner!
The second floor of Rick’s home was uncomfortable in the summer. They had central air conditioning but the upstairs just never seemed to be cool enough. Upon inspection we noticed that the R-value, a measure of the resistance to heat flow, could definitely use some improvement. His attic also wasn’t air sealed. Can lights, electrical penetrations, and top plates were causing unnecessary air flow.
We removed their existing insulation, air sealed the attic, and installed 17-inches of cellulose insulation providing them with the recommended R-value of 60 (over twice their previous insulation level). With their attic reaching between 100 and 120℉ in the summertime, this new insulation will reduce the heat transfer happening and cool the second floor of their home making it more comfortable in the summer. An added plus is they’ll also require less energy to keep the home heated in the winter.

These homeowners in Wyoming, DE were suffering with an uncomfortable home due to their vented crawl space. The insulation in their vented crawl space started to sag away and caused air to flow through it. With the constant air flow the crawl space formed condensation and high humidity. This can lead to mold growth, odors and wood rots.
Dr. Energy Saver has a simple solution to help these homeowners with their vented crawl space. Dr. Energy Saver will install a CleanSpace Encapsulation system on top of their dirt floor as well as install SilverGlo along the walls of the crawl space. This helps seal off any unwanted air from leaking into the crawl space. The results are low humidity, warmer floors upstairs and lower utility costs.
Finally, these homeowners can live comfortably in their own home while also saving money!
Homeowners in Wyoming, Delaware were experiencing cold drafts coming through their downstairs and kitchen. Unsure of where the cool air was coming, they phoned Dr. Energy Saver.
Our In Home Comfort Specialist then came out and sat down with the customer, listening to the issues that they were experiencing first hand. After a brief sit down, we inspected the home finding the problem that was causing the cold draft and increase in fuel and electric bills.
We then came back out with our production crew and got to work. Immediately, we attack underneath the unisulated bay window sill where air leaked inside the home. Also the kneewall space where cold air was coming through the leaky fascia/soffit assemblies.
With those issues fixed, the homeowners felt immediate comfort inside the home. Another satisfied customer with Dr. Energy Saver.
