Client Location: Huntington Station, NY
Project Focus: Attic Floor Insulation Upgrade

Project Overview

Zavza Seal LLC was hired to enhance the energy efficiency of a residential property in Huntington Station, NY, by upgrading the attic insulation. The project involved installing new R-49 batt insulation over an attic floor area of approximately 1,200 sq. ft. This insulation upgrade aimed to improve thermal efficiency and reduce energy costs.

Client’s Concern

The homeowner wanted to ensure their home met current insulation standards to maintain comfortable temperatures year-round and lower energy bills. The existing attic insulation was insufficient, leading to heat loss during the winter and excessive heat gain during the summer.

Diagnosis

Upon inspection, our team found the existing insulation did not meet the R-49 thermal resistance standard. The attic floor had 2″x6″ joists that limited the thickness of the insulation that could be installed.

Proposed Solution

To achieve optimal insulation performance, Zavza Seal LLC proposed the following steps:

1. Install New R-49 Batt Insulation:
   • Laid R-49 batt insulation on the attic floor across an area of 1,200 sq. ft.
   • The insulation was 14 inches thick and extended 8 inches above the existing 2″x6″ floor joists.
2. Optional Joist Upgrade:
   • Proposed installing new 2″x8″ joists on top of the existing 2″x6″ joists to create a combined height of 13 inches.
   • Offered the option to cover the insulation with a 1/2-inch plywood floor for added protection and walkability.
3. Preserve A/C Service Walk:
   • Ensured the existing A/C service walk remained accessible and unobstructed during and after the insulation installation.

Execution of the Project

1. Preparation:
   • Cleared debris and prepped the attic floor for insulation.
2. Installation:
   • Carefully installed R-49 batt insulation to cover the entire 1,200 sq. ft. attic floor area.
   • Ensured the insulation was properly placed, avoiding gaps or compression.
3. Optional Joist and Plywood Installation:
   • Installed 2″x8″ joists where requested by the homeowner.
   • Laid down 1/2-inch plywood to provide a stable attic floor surface.

Results

• Enhanced Thermal Efficiency: The new R-49 batt insulation significantly improved the home’s ability to maintain indoor temperatures.
• Energy Cost Reduction: The homeowner noticed lower energy bills due to decreased heat loss and improved HVAC efficiency.
• Satisfied Client: The client appreciated the professionalism, efficiency, and clear communication throughout the project.
