Too many air leaks, too little insulation. A room with a cathedral ceiling can be uncomfortable during many months of the year. An insulation upgrade from Dr. Energy Saver will eliminate this problem.
A cathedral ceiling will give any room an open feeling and a dramatic appearance. But homeowners often discover that the price for this popular feature is poor comfort during many months of the year.
A cathedral ceiling provides very little room for roof insulation – just the width of the ceiling rafters, which can be less than 10 in.
If this low level of insulation wasn’t bad enough, many cathedral ceilings include recessed lights that interrupt the insulation layer, eliminating any protection from cold winter drafts and conductive heat loss.
Dr. Energy Saver offers free inspections to assess you insulation needs and Free Estimates for all recommended home insulation upgrades.
Working outside to make you comfortable inside. Without altering your cathedral ceiling, we can complete a comfort-enhancing insulation retrofit.
If you love your cathedral ceiling but don’t like the fact that this room gets too hot or too cold at different times of year, you’ve come to the right place. Dr. Energy Saver can upgrade insulation in your cathedral ceiling without any alteration of interior surfaces.
Whether you have a cathedral ceiling with wood paneling or one covered with drywall, we can install new insulation behind your finished ceiling to solve your comfort and energy problems.
We access your cathedral ceiling from your home exterior – either from the roof ridge or the eave/soffit area. Our dense-pack cellulose insulation is treated for fire, insect and mold resistance. It’s a premium-quality insulation with excellent draft-stopping capability. We also install other types of ceiling insulation, including rafter insulation (for rooms located above a cathedral ceiling) and we can also insulate around recessed lighting fixtures.
In addition to upgrading vaulted ceiling insulation, it’s also important to stop air leakage and energy loss around any recessed lights in the cathedral ceiling.
We have developed several ways to air seal “can” lights and prevent uncomfortable drafts that occur around these lights.
This 80-year old cape-style house is a Sears, Roebuck and Co. home, from when they used to sell houses through a catalogue.
The home's attic and wall cavities were previously insulated by Dr. Energy Saver and Larry Janesky's team is now back on the job to perform additional energy efficient retrofits. This time, they will be insulating an existing cathedral ceiling and shed roof with dense packing cellulose.
