Two places the weather gets in

Cold rooms, high bills and musty air usually trace back to your attic or your air. We take care of both.

Attic Comfortable rooms, lower bills

Air sealing

Paying to heat and cool the whole block? Gaps around lights, pipes and the attic hatch leak conditioned air in every season. We find the leaks and seal them.

Attic insulation

Thin or tired insulation leaves bedrooms cold in January and sweltering in July. We remove what's damaged and blow in fresh cellulose or fiberglass to the right depth.

Air Clean, healthy air

Duct cleaning

Dust and debris in the ducts go everywhere the air goes. We clean the full system and the dryer vent, and show you what came out.

Mold testing

Humid summers and winter condensation leave moisture in attics and ductwork. If something smells musty or looks off, we take air and surface samples and get you lab results, so you know what you're dealing with before anyone talks about removal.

Kevin and his team were very professional, and did excellent work for our attic insulation job. They even repainted the attic hatch door which got smudged during normal use. They went above and beyond.

My attic was really drafty and cold . I had Kevin come out to give me a quote . Very reasonable pricing . Him and Mitch replaced some insulation and sealed a few areas . Over night my house felt warmer . Gave me a coupon for air duct cleaning services I will take advantage of as well. 10/10 will recommend

In preparation of getting our roof updated this spring, we had Kevin and his team come out and look at our attic. Not only were they very professional and very thorough with their assessment, their price was completely reasonable as well. I would hire them again for any future attic work we need.

After noticing excessive dust throughout our home, we hired Home Energy Solutions for air duct cleaning. Seeing the before-and-after photos was eye-opening. The ducts were fully cleaned and sanitized, leaving our home smelling fresher and the air noticeably cleaner.

Kevin and his team did a great job. He came out, gave a quick consultation, and a very reasonable quote for insulation in my basement. They delivered on efficient installation that had immediate effect on the heat control in the room. 10/10

We discovered mold during a bathroom renovation and called Home Energy Solutions for mold remediation. They handled the job quickly, completed follow-up testing, and clearly explained the entire process. Very professional service and great peace of mind.

Noticed mold in my attic and gave Kevin a call. He saved me big time figuratively and literally with fair prices and fast service to get the mold taken care of and bring piece of mind back in my home.
