Insulation Services Before & After Photos

Sarah reached out because her single-story home had high energy bills and rooms that became uncomfortably hot during the summer months. Even though there weren’t obvious drafts, it was clear that heat was building up in the attic and transferring into the living space.

Our team focused on tightening the attic and improving the home’s overall thermal performance. We sealed and insulated the attic, improved and insulated the attic access opening, sealed top plates to stop conditioned air from escaping, and insulated the basement rim joists to reduce additional air leakage.

With these improvements in place, the home now stays more comfortable during the summer, hot rooms are reduced, and energy usage has improved. Sarah’s home performs more efficiently year-round with lower overall energy loss.

Josh reached out because two bedrooms in his home were significantly colder than the rest of the house. While most of the attic had around 20 inches of insulation, those specific areas had little to none, creating a major imbalance.

This is something we see often. Even when most of an attic is insulated well, missing coverage in just a few areas can cause certain rooms to feel completely different from the rest of the home.

After evaluating the attic, we confirmed that those cold rooms were directly tied to the lack of insulation above them, along with air leakage that was allowing heat to escape. Our team focused on correcting the imbalance and rebuilding those problem areas the right way.

We sealed attic air leaks, sealed top plates and penetrations, addressed chimney-related leakage, and installed insulation dams to ensure proper containment. Then we installed insulation to proper levels in the affected areas so the entire attic system could perform consistently.

By bringing those under-insulated areas up to the same standard as the rest of the attic, we were able to eliminate the weak spots in the system. Now those colder rooms are much more consistent with the rest of the home, drafts have been reduced, and overall comfort has improved.

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.
