Kelsi called Home Environment Solutions saying she would like to schedule an appointment to determine why her energy bills are high and where she is loosing her heating and cooling. We scheduled our expert Russell to perform a free energy audit of her home. Russ found old batt insulation, uninsulated scuttle cover, numerous penetrations left unsealed such as recessed light, wire and pipe runs. We sent our insulation team out to remove all of the old insulation and dispose of it. They air sealed and insulated the scuttle cover with Silverglo, installed Titeshell recessed light fixture covers, sealed all pipe/wire runs and insulated attic floor with Trusoft cellulose.
Monica wanted to improve the overall performance of her home by addressing areas where energy loss commonly occurs. Even without major comfort complaints, the basement is often a hidden source of inefficiency.
Our team focused on sealing and insulating key areas that impact the entire home. We spray-foamed the rim joists to stop outside air from entering and conditioned air from escaping. We also insulated exposed pipes to reduce heat loss and protect them from temperature fluctuations.
These improvements may seem simple, but they play a major role in how well a home holds temperature and how efficiently it runs.
Now the home is tighter, better protected, and operating more efficiently from the ground up.
Barbara wanted to make her garage more comfortable throughout the year. Like many attached garages, the exterior walls had little or no effective insulation, allowing outside temperatures to easily transfer into the space. During the summer, the garage became excessively hot, while winter temperatures made it cold and uncomfortable to use.
Beyond affecting the garage itself, poorly insulated garage walls can also impact the rooms adjacent to or above the garage. Those spaces often experience uneven temperatures because heat and cold easily move through uninsulated wall cavities.
Our team insulated the exterior walls of the garage using a dense-pack insulation system designed to completely fill the wall cavities. Unlike traditional batt insulation that can leave gaps, dense-pack insulation conforms around wiring, pipes, and framing members, creating a more complete thermal barrier.
By reducing heat transfer through the walls, the garage is now better protected from extreme outdoor temperatures. The improvement also helps reduce the workload on the home's heating and cooling system while making nearby living spaces more comfortable.
Now Barbara has a garage that stays more comfortable throughout the seasons while improving the overall energy performance of the home.
Richard needed attic insulation for him East Liverpool home in Ohio. He contacted Home Environment Solutions to set up a free in home energy efficiency test. After the test, Russ determined that the home needed to be air sealed and insulated. Richard would also benefit form having his chimney sealed with metal flashing and rock wool.
Richard called the office and set the appointment to have the work done. The HES team arrived and transformed Richards old attic into a money saving, energy efficient attic.
