Lucinda called Home Environment Solutions to find out about upgrading the insulation in her Allison Park home. Lucinda was set up with an appointment with the HES insulation expert Russell. He came to her home to do a free in home energy audit. In Lucinda's attic he found old compressed insulation with a low R value.
The HES team arrived and removed the old insulation. The next step was to air seal the whole attic to prevent loss of heat form the stack effect. Finally they blew in a deep layer of cellulose insulation to help keep the home comfortable all year long.

Steve from Cheswick Pa called Home Environment Solutions stating that he is never comfortable in his home. He says it stays colder in the winter and warmer in the summer. We sent Russ out to perform a free home energy audit to determine what is needed to make his home more comfortable. Russ found old fiberglass batt insulation, uninsulated and sealed scuttle cover and many other penetrations that let air escape.
Our insulation team removed and Disposed Of Existing Insulation. They then prepared the attic for the installation of fresh, clean insulation. Our team air sealed and insulated Scuttle Cover, Upgraded ceiling over shower with foam boards and sealed with zypfoam. Air sealed with Zypfoam all penetrations.
