Challenge
This home had uncomfortable temperatures and owners who were suffering from allergies. Upon inspection of the home, we identified a significant amount of uncontrolled air in and around the attic. The insulation in the attic was dirty and brown after working for years as a filter for dirty outside air bringing in pollen, dust, and other nasty air particles.
Solution
The insulation was removed so that we could air seal the attic and create better control of the airflow in the home. This helped to reduce the allowance of outdoor air from coming into the home and helped to keep conditioned air inside of the home. Improved energy cost and air quality followed.
