Home Environment Solutions Before & After Photos

Don from Washington Pa called Home environment solutions saying that his upstairs  is always cold in the winter and warm in the summer. So we sent our expert out to preform a free home energy audit.  Russ found old batt insulation, an unsealed or insulated scuttle cover and unsealed penetrations such as pipe runs, wire runs which lets air escape.

 Installed TiteShell recessed light fixture cover over top of can light and sealed with ZypFoam polyurethane foam around edge and any holes made for electrical wires.   Installed SilverGlo on wall and between floor joists as needed. Wrapped skylights in 2" SilverGlo to air seal and insulate. Insulated the vertical wall between the upper knee wall attic and the study attic.  Insulated the Adjacent Wall With SilverGlo.  Air sealed and insulated Scuttle Cover. Sealed all accessible penetrations (pipe runs, wire runs, top plates (interior and exterior)with expanding polyurethane foam.  Installed TruSoft cellulose on attic floor.

Susan contacted us because her single-story home was drafty, energy bills were higher than expected, and the garage was uncomfortable — hot in the summer and cold in the winter. Air loss through attic protrusions was allowing conditioned air to escape and making temperature control difficult.

Our team sealed and insulated the attic, tightened up air leaks around attic penetrations, sealed top plates, and encapsulated ductwork to reduce air and heat loss. These improvements helped keep conditioned air inside the home and stabilized temperatures in the garage.

Now, Susan’s home is more comfortable year-round, energy costs are lower, and the garage stays at a much more consistent temperature.

Justin reached out because his single-story home had cold floors, drafty rooms, and higher energy bills than expected. Even though insulation was already present, it wasn’t performing properly. Missing baffles and air leaks in the attic were allowing heat and conditioned air to escape.

Our team upgraded the insulation rating from R19 to R49 and tightened up air leaks throughout the attic floor. We also insulated the scuttle cover and sealed top plates to keep conditioned air inside the living space.

Now, Justin’s home feels more comfortable from room to room, drafts have been eliminated, and energy costs are noticeably lower thanks to a tighter, better-performing attic system.

Ron reached out because his single-story home felt drafty and energy bills were higher than they should have been. The cathedral ceilings made the problem more noticeable, letting heat escape and making the home harder to keep comfortable during colder weather.

Our team focused on tightening up the attic and ceiling areas where air and heat loss were occurring. We sealed attic access points, sealed ductwork, closed attic penetrations, addressed open soffit areas, installed insulation dams, and upgraded attic insulation levels to improve overall performance.

With these improvements complete, Ron’s home now holds heat better, feels less drafty, and operates more efficiently. Comfort has improved throughout the living space, and energy costs are lower as a result.

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.
