Learn why it's important to air seal and insulate the attic for a comfortable home year-round.
High utility bills and rooms that are too hot in the summer and too cold in the winter are just a few signs that your attic may not be properly insulated. Upgrading attic insulation is a simple, cost-effective way to improve comfort. Having adequate attic insulation can also cut heating and cooling costs by as much as 40 percent.
When you contact Home Environment Solutions for an insulation estimate, we will inspect insulation levels and determine the best insulation solution based on your home's design and your specific needs. We have the experience and tools to install many different insulation materials, including spray foam, blown-in, cellulose, and more.

Valerie was having trouble with her home in Homestead, PA. The third floor was a finished attic that was unusable because of the extreme temperatures. The rooms would be way too hot in the summer and way to cold in the winter causing high energy bills and a generally cold house.
The HES team arrived and installed SilverGlo foam insulation and blown in cellulose. This will stop the heat loss and make the home more comfortable and affordable.

Home owner Charles had a bunch of mold in his attic. We went in and took out all the affected insulation and then remediated the mold.
Sealing air leaks and adding insulation can help:
The attic is typically the biggest source of energy loss in a home. Installing the right amount of insulation and sealing air leaks can make a big difference in your energy bills and comfort.
Insulation levels and thermal performance are measured by R-Value. The higher the R-value, the better the insulation's ability to resist heat flow.
Many homes have as little as 9 in. of attic insulation in regions where the U.S. Department of Energy recommends 16 in. It is recommended that most homes in West Virginia & Pennsylvania have between R-49 and R-60 of attic insulation, depending on the insulation material.
Air sealing is a critical step when insulating an attic because sealing air leaks stops conditioned interior air from leaking into the attic. Air sealing can prevent attic mold and significantly reduce heating and cooling bills. Home Environment Solutions uses a variety of materials and techniques to stop this energy-wasting air leakage.
