Insulation Removal

Insulation is a key component to the comfort and efficiency of your home. Unfortunately, some conditions require the removal of the insulation within a home. Sometimes insulation becomes damaged due to pests, water, or fire. Some homeowners choose to remove their insulation to upgrade to a more efficient and money-saving insulation option.

Drilling Ventilation

Many older homes were built with solid wood soffits and fascias. These solid wood surfaces, The presence of solid wood surfaces can inhibit the movement of air in the attic space of the home. Ventilated soffits can provide sources of cross ventilation for attic spaces and enhance the performance of passive ventilation systems such as ridge vent and or Gable Vents.

Air Sealing Duct Work

In houses with forced-air heating and cooling systems, duct work is used to distribute conditioned air throughout the house. In a typical house, however, about 20 to 30 percent of the air that moves through the duct system is lost due to leaks, holes, and poorly connected ducts. The result is higher utility bills and difficulty keeping the house comfortable, no matter how the thermostat is set.

Air Sealing an Attic

Air Sealing an attic can be very important especially in a 3 story home. The taller the building the more stack effect is going on. By air sealing the common leaks in an attic you can save money and energy.
