Project Location: Commack, NY
Client: Residential Homeowner
Project Type: Blown-In Cellulose Insulation Upgrade
Contractor: Zavza Seal
Introduction:
Homeowners in Commack, NY, often face the challenge of maintaining comfortable indoor temperatures while managing energy costs. This case study examines how Zavza Seal helped a local homeowner significantly improve their home’s energy efficiency and comfort by installing blown-in cellulose insulation.
The Challenge:
The homeowner was experiencing inconsistent temperatures throughout their home, leading to high energy bills and discomfort. The existing insulation (if any) was inadequate for optimal energy performance. They sought a solution that would enhance thermal comfort, reduce energy consumption, and create a healthier indoor environment.
The Solution:
Zavza Seal proposed and implemented a comprehensive blown-in cellulose insulation upgrade. The project encompassed the following key elements:
- Targeted Insulation Areas: The project focused on insulating the ceilings and walls of key living spaces, including the living room, dining room, kitchen open area, first-floor extension rooms, and three rear bedrooms. This covered an approximate area of 1,934 square feet.
- Optimal R-Values: Zavza Seal aimed to achieve an R-value of R-38 in the ceilings and R-13 in the walls, providing superior thermal resistance and minimizing heat transfer.
- Installation Process: Access ports were carefully cut in the ceilings and walls to facilitate the blowing in of the cellulose insulation. This method ensures complete coverage and fills even hard-to-reach spaces.
- Eco-Friendly and High-Performance Insulation: Zavza Seal utilized environmentally friendly cellulose insulation with a Class 1 fire rating. This material offers several benefits:
- Fire Resistance: Enhances home safety.
- Sound Reduction: Significantly reduces outside noise, creating a quieter indoor environment.
- Moisture Resistance: Protects against moisture damage.
- Excellent Sound Absorbency: Further improves acoustic comfort.
- Gold Certified: Contributes to a healthier indoor environment.
Project Details:
- Area Insulated: Approximately 1,934 sq ft.
- Ceiling R-Value: R-38
- Wall R-Value: R-13
- Materials: Blown-in cellulose insulation (environmentally friendly, fire-resistant, Class 1 fire rating, sound-reducing, moisture-resistant, excellent sound absorbency, Gold Certified).
- Scope of Work: Cutting access ports, blowing in cellulose insulation, supplying all labor, materials, and equipment.
Results:
The blown-in cellulose insulation project delivered significant benefits to the homeowner:
- Improved Energy Efficiency: The increased R-values in the ceilings and walls dramatically reduced heat transfer, resulting in lower energy consumption and reduced utility bills.
- Enhanced Thermal Comfort: The home now maintains more consistent temperatures, eliminating drafts and cold spots.
- Reduced Noise Pollution: The sound-dampening properties of the cellulose insulation created a quieter and more peaceful living environment.
- Healthier Indoor Environment: The Gold Certified insulation contributes to better indoor air quality.
- Increased Home Value: The energy-efficient upgrades enhance the overall value of the property.
