Clean crawl space and proper duct work is very important for better living in the home. A vented dirt crawl space raises your cooling and heating cost by 15% to 25%. The installation shown here consists of CleanSpace® vapor barrier that is put down in multiple layers to completely seal off the home from ground.
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.
This Kent County couple wanted a way to keep the attic cooler during the summer and warmer in the winter. The Dr. Energy Saver SuperAttic® Conversion System was the answer. The SuperAttic Insulation keeps the HVAC system protected from the harmful tempertures of the summer heat with the radiant barrier installed on both sides of the insulation panels.

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!
