Bill reached out because his two-story home was experiencing high energy bills and noticeable drafts in several rooms. While there weren’t moisture or mold concerns, it was clear that air was escaping through the attic and driving up heating and cooling costs. He also wanted better access and usability in the attic space.
Our team focused on tightening the top of the home to reduce air loss. We sealed and insulated the attic, closed off air leaks around top plates and attic penetrations, and upgraded insulation levels to improve overall performance. As part of the work, we also improved attic access, making the space easier and safer to use for storage and future maintenance.
After the upgrades, Bill’s home holds temperature better, drafts are reduced, energy usage is lower, and the attic is now far more functional and accessible.
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.
