Kelsi called Home Environment Solutions saying she would like to schedule an appointment to determine why her energy bills are high and where she is loosing her heating and cooling. We scheduled our expert Russell to perform a free energy audit of her home. Russ found old batt insulation, uninsulated scuttle cover, numerous penetrations left unsealed such as recessed light, wire and pipe runs. We sent our insulation team out to remove all of the old insulation and dispose of it. They air sealed and insulated the scuttle cover with Silverglo, installed Titeshell recessed light fixture covers, sealed all pipe/wire runs and insulated attic floor with Trusoft cellulose.
This Toronto, OH customer had heating and cooling ducts in his Attic. In the summer time temperatures in the attic would reach well over a 100 degrees, making his air conditioner work extra to keep the house cool. Using spray foam we added several inches of insulation to his ducts. Increasing the amount of insulation on your ducts in the attic will extend the life of your air conditioner and lower your energy cost but more importantly keep you cool in the summer!
Mark was struggling with high energy bills in his Follansbee, WV home. He called Home Environment Solutions to schedule a free in-home energy audit to try to get the bills under control. When Russ arrived to perform the inspection he found the attic poorly insulated and explained to Mark how the stack effect was letting all of his money escape.
The HES team arrived and got to work fixing the problem. The removed the old insulation and began air sealing the attic and rim joist to stop the warm air inside the home from escaping. They then added blown in cellulose to stop the heat loss. Marks home is now more energy efficient and more cost efficient.
