Jessica reached out because the rooms above the garage were much colder in the winter than the rest of the home. This is one of the most common comfort issues we see in two-story homes.
Garages are typically unconditioned spaces, which means the rooms above them are constantly exposed to colder temperatures below. If the garage ceiling isn’t properly sealed and insulated, those floors can become cold and uncomfortable very quickly.
Our team air sealed the garage ceiling and installed dense-pack TruSoft cellulose insulation throughout the cavity system.
Dense-pack insulation is especially effective in garage ceiling applications because it completely fills the cavities and restricts airflow inside the floor system itself. Instead of leaving gaps or loose areas, the insulation is packed to the proper density to create a stronger thermal barrier.
Now the rooms over the garage stay noticeably warmer in the winter and feel much more consistent with the rest of the home.
You can see the bat insulation and how it barely covers anything, and then you can see how we blew in TruSoft cellulose and covers a lot more.
Christine called Home Environment Solutions to have an energy audit done on her McKees Rock home. Russ took a look in her attic to find areas of heat loss. He found old insulation that was inadequate to stop the heat loss.
The HES team arrived and removed the old Insulation. They then air sealed the attic paying special attention to the canister lights. After the attic was air sealed the team blew in Cellulous and Silverglo foam insulation.
Not only will Christine's home be more energy efficient, it will be more comfortable for her and her family.

Jeff was having trouble with the gutters on his home in Eighty Four, PA. He called Gutter Shutter by Home Environment Solutions to find information about the Gutter Shutter system. Our consultant, Russ went out and provided a free estimate. Russ explained the benefits of the Gutter Shutter system including the lifetime no-clog warranty. The Gutter Shutter by Home Environment Solutions team arrived and got to work installing the new gutters along with the wide mouth downspouts and the valley controllers to redirect water.
