Before & After Photos

Gary needed help with his New Kensington, PA home, it had old fiberglass insulation and a room over the garage that was not insulated at all.   He called Home Environment Solutions for a free in-home energy audit.   

When the HES team arrived, they began the work to make the home more comfortable and energy efficient.  The old insulation was removed so that the team could air seal the attic and install TiteShell recessed light fixture covers.  The attic was then covered with a thick layer of blown-in cellulose insulation. Gary's home is now going to stay more comfortable year-round with lower heating and cooling bills.    

If you own a Cape Cod home its likely that you are experiencing extreme temperature differences from your down stairs to your upstairs.  At Home Environment Solutions we know why you are experiencing these temperature differences and we have your solution to the problem.  Cape Cod homes are built with Knee Walls upstairs which can be tricky to insulate.  If not insulated correctly these areas become gaping air leaks causing havoc on the heating and cooling of your house.  Call us today for a free home evaluation.   

Owner Carol D of Brackenridge, PA was looking for a solution to reduce the road noise from the high traffic street in front of her home.  Carol was also concerned about losing storage space in her knee wall attic.

Mark O. proposed insulating the attic with sound reducing TruSoft cellulose insulation and insulating the knee wall with Cotton Armor insulation batts.

Foreman Mike Y. and his team Craig C. and Zach T. air sealed and insulated the attic to R60.  In the knee wall attic the team removed the 60 year old paper insulation and replaced it with Cotton Armor insulation held in place with insulweb.

The owner said she can’t believe what a difference it’s made both with the comfort of the bedroom and the sound.

From rock, dirt, wet, and moldy to dry, clean, insulated, usuable space!

Goran reached out because his single-story home felt drafty and uncomfortable, and energy bills were higher than they should have been. Even with one level of living space, temperatures weren’t consistent from room to room.

Our team air-sealed and insulated the attic, installed an insulated scuttle cover, and tightened up air leaks around top plates and attic penetrations. They finished by blowing in TruSoft Cellulose insulation. By stopping air and heat loss at the attic level, we helped keep conditioned air inside the home where it belongs.

Now, Goran’s home feels more comfortable year-round, temperatures are more stable, and energy costs are noticeably lower.
