Client Observation
The homeowner in Farmingdale noticed that their energy bills were consistently high and that certain areas of their home felt drafty, especially during colder months. Concerned about rising energy costs and comfort levels, they contacted Zavza Seal LLC for a professional assessment.
Diagnosis by Team
Upon inspecting the property, Zavza Seal LLC identified poorly insulated areas across the exterior walls of the first and second floors, excluding the kitchen and certain inaccessible sections. The inspection revealed significant air leaks around windows and insufficient insulation behind radiators, contributing to heat loss and reduced energy efficiency. The team estimated the total area requiring attention to be approximately 2,500 square feet.
Solution Implemented
- Air-Sealing: Air sealing to seal all leaky windows from the interior using high-quality sealants and caulking to minimize drafts.
- Radiator Insulation: Installed R-18 closed-cell polyethylene foam with reflective reinforced foil behind three metal radiators to enhance thermal efficiency.
- Basement Door Insulation: Applied foil insulation to the basement wood bi-fold door for added protection against drafts.
- Cellulose Insulation: Cut access ports between wall studs and used a specialized machine to blow in cellulose insulation, increasing overall R-value and promoting energy efficiency.
- Finishing Touches: Taped, patched, and painted all access ports using customer-provided paint to restore the home’s appearance.
Outcome
The homeowner noticed immediate improvements in indoor comfort and a significant reduction in energy bills. The property now enjoys enhanced energy efficiency, reduced outside noise, and improved indoor air quality, contributing to a healthier living environment.
