Ethan from Struthers Ohio called Home Environment Solutions to see how he can make his home more comfortable year round. We sent Russell out to preform a free Home Energy Audit. Russ found old loose batt insulation, uninsulated pipe, wire runs and an uninsulated scuttle cover. Our insulation team removed all the old batt insulation and disposed of it. Installed Silverglo foam board on scuttle and walls. Sealed all internal and external penetrations with Zypfoam. Installed trusoft cellulose on the attic floor.
This Weirton, WV home has a poorly insulated knee wall, causing drafts and high energy bills. Home Environment Solutions insulated the walls with Silver-Glo, making it more efficient and a lot more attractive.
Owner John K. of Weirton, WV called us to improve the comfort in the upstairs of his home and he wanted to use his attic for additional storage.
Certified Comfort and Energy Specialist Mark O. designed a solution to improve the comfort and provide storage.
Foreman Mike Y. and his team air sealed the attic and properly insulated with cellulose insulation to R60 for optimum results. In addition, we built a large storage area in the attic using SilverGlo and plywood. The stairs from the living area to the attic were framed and covered with a David Lewis Hatch Cover to prevent the hostile air from the attic from entering the living environment. In the basement the team insulated the rim joist with SilverGlo insulation and foam insulation.
The owner was very pleased with the storage and has noticed a big difference in comfort.
