Photo Album: Making an upstairs more comfortable in Pittsburgh, PA 15243

Brian reached out because his two-story home had cold floors, drafty rooms, and noticeable temperature differences upstairs. Energy bills were higher than expected, and before starting larger renovation projects, he wanted to understand where energy loss was happening and fix the most important issues first. After completing a home energy audit, our team focused on tightening the attic and stopping conditioned air from escaping at the top of the home. We sealed and insulated the attic, improved attic access, sealed top plates and penetrations, and upgraded insulation levels to reduce heat loss. These improvements helped stabilize temperatures between floors and made the attic easier to access for future work. Now, Brian’s home has more consistent temperatures upstairs, reduced drafts, and lower energy loss; creating a more comfortable home today and a better foundation for future renovations.
