Too little attic insulation and too much air leakage can waste a great deal of energy, leading to an uncomfortable home and higher energy bills. TruSoft Cellulose insulation reduces heating and cooling bills by as much as 32 percent (based on a study by The Leominster Housing Authority), meets and exceeds fire-resistance testing, and is a “green” product as the material contains 85 percent recycled paper that would otherwise end up in a landfill.
This Wells, ME, homeowner was ready to insulate their attic and save money on their energy bill, so they scheduled a free estimate with Dr. Energy Saver by TC Hafford Basment Systems. System Design Specialist Nima Farshid worked with the homeowner to design an energy-efficient system that would make their home healthier and more comfortable. First, their attic was sealed with ZypFoam where necessary and haft-inch Foamax. After the area was finished being sealed, TruSoft Cellulose insulation was blown into the space to insulate the attic and create a home that would be warmer in the winter and keep the AC in during the hot summer months.
A homeowner in Kennebunkport, Maine, reached out to TC Hafford Basement Systems after an energy audit revealed that their home was losing significant heat through both the attic and basement. We installed Dr. Energy Saver spray foam in both areas, TrueSoft cellulose to insulate the attic floor, and Zip Foam for air sealing. The improvements resulted in a much more comfortable and energy-efficient home.
A homeowner in Scarborough, ME wanted to address inefficiency in their basement, particularly the walls, which seemed to allow drafts into the home. Concerned about their energy bills and home comfort, they contacted T.C. Hafford for a professional opinion. During our inspection, we identified that spray foam insulation from Doctor Energy Saver would be the best fit for this project. We applied the foam throughout the basement walls, and the results were outstanding. The insulation made a noticeable difference, sealing in warmth and preventing air from escaping. The customer was very pleased with how smoothly the process went and how much more comfortable their home felt after the installation was complete.
Cold basement walls make your entire basement colder in the winter, leading to higher heating bills. During the summer, the colder walls create condensation, resulting in higher humidity and a greater chance for mold growth. Insulating your basement is as important as the walls of your home. With energy costs rising, it’s important to test your home to make sure you’re not throwing money down the drain.
This Scarborough, ME, homeowner called Dr. Energy Saver by TC Hafford Basement Systems to schedule a Blower Door Test and discovered they had room for improvement. System Design Specialist Nima Farshid worked with the homeowner to design a DR. Energy Saver system that would save them money on their energy bill and make their home more comfortable. Foamax Board was installed on the basement walls to insulate the area. Foamax has a white foil finish on the front to create a clean-looking and brighter basement. Foamax also features a foil vapor barrier on the back side that helps to control basement humidity. SprayFoam was installed along the rim joist to finish out the Dr Energy Saver System, and the homeowner is able to live more comfortably and save money on their energy bill now that their home will be more energy efficient.
When a customer in Falmouth, Maine, noticed water seeping into their crawl space, they called TC Hafford for an expert assessment. Our thorough inspection revealed moisture buildup that could lead to long-term damage. We quickly addressed the problem by installing a CleanSpace liner, which prevents water vapor from entering the space, and drainage matting to manage water flow beneath the liner. Dr. Energy Saver spray foam was applied to further insulate and seal the area, while IceGuard provided protection against potential freeze-related damage. The homeowner was relieved by the comprehensive solution and was very satisfied with the transformed crawl space, confident that their home was now safeguarded against future moisture problems.
