Mike, of Bridgeport, OH, reached out to Home Environment Solutions in hopes of reducing energy costs for his home. Our home energy expert, Russ, performed an audit of Mike's home and found solutions to his heating and cooling woes. Our team of service technicians removed and disposed of the existing insulation to prepare the space for the installation of clean insulation. The team then installed baffles along the perimeter and air sealed with Zypfoam along the top seal and as needed to the exterior walls. OSB boards and Zypfoam were also installed on the soffits above the kitchen. The chimney was wrapped with RockWool and metal flashing and Fire Caulk was installed to air seal around the unit. SilverGlo 4" and OSB boards were used to construct the SuperPlatform Catwalk and vertical dams for blown-in TruSoft Cellulose insulation. All of this was capped off by installing a new scuttle cover, which was air sealed and insulated with 4" SilverGlo insulation boards, weather stripping, and Zypfoam. The customer was left with a much more efficient and comfortable home that cost less to heat in the winters and cool in the summers.
Ryker reached out because his older single-story home had cold floors and higher energy bills, even after installing a new furnace. With very little insulation in the walls or attic, the heating system was working harder than it should, and comfort just wasn’t where it needed to be.
Our team sealed and insulated the attic, tightened up air leaks throughout the attic floor, and insulated the attic access. By reducing heat loss and improving the home’s thermal envelope, we helped the new furnace operate more efficiently and deliver heat where it belongs.
Now, Ryker’s home is noticeably more comfortable, floors feel warmer, and energy costs are lower. The furnace is finally able to perform to its full potential, making the home more efficient and comfortable overall.
Brad wanted his attic insulated. He called Home Environment Solutions and set up a free in home energy audit. Russ came out and recommended Silverglo rigid foam. Rigid foam is a popular insulating product for its durability, high insulating value, and versatility.
The attic bedroom in Brads home was always cold and uncomfortable. He called Home Environment Solutions to schedule a free energy audit for his Richmond, Ohio home.
When Russ arrived and saw the knee walls in the attic bedroom he immediately knew they were causing the problem. The attic needed a thermal barrier.
The HES team arrived and installed SilverGlo panels and air sealed the attic. They also added spray foam to the rim joist to prevent air transfer.
Eric contacted us because his Cape Cod–style home had high energy bills and drafty rooms that made it hard to stay comfortable. He also wanted better access to the attic for storage and maintenance and needed insulation improvements in key areas like the cathedral ceiling, knee walls, and ductwork.
Our team sealed and insulated the attic, installed an insulated scuttle cover, and upgraded insulation in the cathedral ceiling and knee wall areas. We also encapsulated the ductwork to reduce air loss and improved attic access so the space could be used more safely and effectively.
Now, Eric’s home is more energy efficient, draft issues are reduced, and the attic space is easier to access and maintain. These upgrades will help keep the home comfortable while lowering heating and cooling costs year-round.
