Photo Album: Making upstairs rooms more comfortable in Pittsburgh, PA 15205
Daniel reached out because his two-story townhome had higher energy bills than it should, and the upstairs temperatures were inconsistent throughout the year. Some seasons left the second floor too hot, while others made it difficult to keep comfortable.
After evaluating the home, our team focused on tightening up the attic system and improving overall efficiency. We sealed attic penetrations, upgraded insulation levels, sealed top plates, and addressed chimney-related air leakage. In addition, we installed a new pull-down attic ladder to improve access and storage while ensuring the opening was properly insulated and sealed.
With these improvements complete, Daniel’s townhome now performs more efficiently. Energy loss has been reduced, upstairs temperatures are more stable, and attic access is safer and easier to use for storage and maintenance.
