Home Environment Solutions serving Allison Park, PA

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.   

Rose found Home Environment Solutions from a google search.  She and her husband had issues with the way their home was built and the lack of insulation in the master closet that was built over the garage.  She also had comfort issues in the area of her mud room and laundry room on the first floor.  Their home was newly built and the master closet was ice cold in the winter and she was tried of dealing with the cold.

Russell, our Home Comfort Specialist, arrived at Rose's home and performed an indepth home evaluation to determine how to best meet their needs.  Russell found that the attic (over the garage) had fiberglass bats in the knee wall, the cathedral spaces and no insualtion under the floor of the closet.  It was also found that none of the area were air sealed between conditioned space and unconditioned space.  Russell explained the showed Rose the areas of issue with a thermal camera and walked her through the process of properly insulating her master closet and mud room area.

The production crew of Zack, Cameron and Derek arrived to Rose's home and set out traps to protect her home.  Zack went over the contract and walked Rose through the project.  The crew air sealed the attic floor, installed SilverGlo high density foam board on the knee walls and insulated the attic to an R-60.  They installed insulated scuttle covers and spray foamed the duct work that was in the attic.  The crew did an excellent job and the customer was very satisfied with our work.  

Rose M. was tired her cold upstairs rooms and closets in her cape cod home.  She didnt think much could be done because her home was just built in 2014, so it wasnt very old.  She said that everything including her insulation was up to code.  Rose started searching the internet and found Home Environment Solutions during a search for "cold rooms upstairs".  She decided to give us a call and set up an appointment but had little hope that her home would be comfortable.

When Rose called the office, she spoke with Christie, the office Manager.  Christie took the time to listen to all of Rose's concerns and put her mind at ease letting her know who was coming to her home, our contact information, and what type of car we would be driving.

Russell, our insulation expert, went to the appointment and found multiple areas in her attic that were losing valuable heat which was causing her comfort issues and elevating her energy bills.  Some of the key factors were air gaps in her recessed lighting, duct work, and attic floor.

Our production team lead by Zach and Cameron went to work installing SilverGlo on her knee walls, dense packing the roof, adding more TruSoft Cellulose insulation, TiteShell recessed light fixture covers, and encapsulating her ducts with Tight N' True spray foam.

The difference in Rose's home was felt immediately and she was happy to see her energy bills had lowered as well.
