Insulation Services Photo Album: Making an upstairs more comfortable in Washington, PA 15301
Christina reached out because her two-story home had high energy bills, drafty rooms, and an upstairs that was difficult to keep comfortable. Temperatures upstairs fluctuated throughout the year, making some rooms too hot in the summer and too cold in the winter.
Our team focused on tightening the attic and stopping conditioned air from escaping at the top of the home. We sealed and insulated the attic, improved and insulated the attic access, sealed attic penetrations, insulated knee wall areas, and addressed chimney-related air leakage. By sealing these problem areas, we were able to restore a proper thermal boundary.
As a result, conditioned air loss was eliminated, energy costs were reduced, and upstairs temperatures are now consistent and comfortable throughout the year.
