Here we help a homeowner make his home much more comfortable on hot summer days. Previously his air conditioner would run all day and it still could not cool the top floor of his cape cod style home. After performing the insulation and ventilation measures, and also doing before and after infrared analysis, his home is now far more comfortable and easy to keep cool. the degree of heat reduction that we achieved in this home was impressive. The insulation and ventilation measures that we performed will also make this home much warmer and easier to heat during the winter, along with having lower heating bills!

Insulation upgrades and retrofits for Cape Cod style and three story homes are far more complicated than for normal homes. If the right attic areas are not air sealed properly, and then insulated properly, and then ventilated properly, you can really run into issues. I have seen other companies perform insulation upgrades on Cape Cod style and three story homes and not ventilate the small knee wall attic spaces. This has led to mold growth in a number of cases (moisture showed up, however it got there, and it had no effective way to evaporate to the outside). That said, insulation upgrades on Cape Cod style and three story homes when done effectively yields impressive and immediately noticeable results. Often times the top floors of these homes are freezing in the winter and a sauna in the summer, making these spaces virtually uninhabitable. Once the insulation upgrades that we perform are done they become an order of magnitude easier to heat and cool year round.

The upgrades performed in this video illustrate a process for improving interior thermal comfort, improving your indoor climate, thermal efficiency, and maximizing heat reduction in your home.
