In Burr Ridge, a homeowner was experiencing uneven temperatures and suspected their attic insulation wasn’t performing the way it should. Upon inspection, it was clear that air leakage around recessed lighting and inadequate ventilation were contributing to energy loss and reduced comfort throughout the home.
Our team began by thoroughly air sealing the attic, paying close attention to gaps and penetrations around light fixtures and ceiling openings. By sealing these areas properly, we stopped conditioned air from escaping into the attic. Next, we installed ventilation baffles to ensure proper airflow from the soffits, protecting the attic from moisture buildup while maintaining consistent ventilation year-round. Finally, we added new blown-in insulation, bringing the attic up to current code requirements and ensuring even, complete coverage.
The result is a tighter, properly ventilated attic system designed for long-term performance. With air sealing, ventilation, and insulation working together, the homeowner now benefits from improved comfort, better energy efficiency, and protection against Burr Ridge’s seasonal temperature swings.
