Insulation Services
Our comprehensive insulation services enhance energy efficiency through expert installation of blown-in cellulose insulation. We address attics, walls, crawlspaces, and commercial spaces using eco-friendly materials that reduce energy consumption. Our BPI-certified technicians ensure proper R-value achievement for optimal thermal performance.
Air Sealing Services
Professional air sealing identifies and eliminates energy-wasting gaps in building envelopes. Our technicians use advanced diagnostics to locate leaks in residential and commercial structures, then apply effective sealing solutions that improve comfort and lower utility bills while maintaining indoor air quality.
Blower Door Testing
Blower door testing quantifies building air leakage rates to meet Pennsylvania's strict energy code requirements. Our certified specialists use calibrated equipment to measure ACH50 values, identify infiltration points, and verify compliance with current IECC standards for new construction and renovations.
Insulation Removal
We safely remove damaged or outdated insulation materials including fiberglass and contaminated cellulose. Our technicians address mold, pest infestations, and moisture damage while preparing spaces for modern energy-efficient insulation upgrades that meet current building codes.
Energy Saving Programs
We facilitate participation in utility-sponsored energy conservation programs for residential and commercial clients. Our team helps customers access rebates and incentives through partnerships with Peoples Gas, Duquesne Light, and other regional providers to offset project costs.
Questions
Can I get utility company incentives for insulation?
