Energy-Proofing a Home in Knoxville, TN

Challenge

This resident had only been in the home for seven months, but was concerned about energy efficiency. His crawlspace was dank, drafty, and lacked any form of insulation or humidity protection. He didn't want problems to emerge down the road, and he definitely wanted to lower his energy costs. 

Solution

To address the homeowner's concerns, the team recommended two products: our SilverGlo™ Crawl Space Wall Insulation panels and our crawlspace dehumidifier. The insulation panels are composed of tiny graphite particles, which reflect heat and lower conductivity for exceptional R-value per inch. They not only prevent heat conduction, they reflect heat back into the area. The dehumidifier keeps the area free from excess moisture, which means rot, mildew, and mold won't take over the crawlspace.

When the team finished, the homeowner was gratified to know his crawlspace was in good and energy-efficient condition.
