Photo Album: Making a whole home energy efficient in East Liverpool, OH 43920
John reached out because parts of his home were never comfortable, especially during the winter. Floors felt cold, drafts were noticeable, and energy bills were higher than expected. The biggest issue was the room over the garage, which stayed uncomfortable no matter the season. The basement also felt cold and contributed to overall heat loss in the home.
Our team focused on strengthening the home’s thermal envelope and stopping air loss at key problem areas. We sealed and insulated the attic, addressed knee wall and cantilevered areas supporting the room over the garage, sealed top plates, and insulated the rim joists in the basement. By tightening these areas, we helped keep conditioned air where it belongs.
Now, John’s home feels balanced and comfortable. The room over the garage stays usable year-round, the basement is warmer in winter, drafts are reduced, and energy costs are lower.
