Living in a home that is drafty in the winter or too hot in the summer can be frustrating. It might seem that no matter how high or low you set the thermostat, you just cannot seem to cut back your energy bills. Chances are, your heating and cooling systems are working overtime because your home is not properly air sealed and insulated.
Reducing the amount of outdoor air intrusion and energy loss through poorly insulated spaces are the most effective solutions. Our team offers a budget-friendly, customized home performance package that can help you improve your home’s energy efficiency -- increasing your comfort and reducing your energy bills.
Tom Rostron’s Home Performance Package
Our technicians utilize state-of-the-art technology and equipment to find out where your home is improperly sealed and insulated. While every home is different, some common problem areas that we check are:
- Attic
- Ducts
- Recessed Lights
- Basement
- Crawl Spaces
Our comprehensive home energy analysis will help us build a customized improvement plan to air seal and insulate the areas that need it most. Our work is guaranteed to help your heating and air conditioning systems operate less often and more efficiently.
We have found that most of the homes we work on have leaky ductwork and insufficient airflow. The result is an uncomfortable living environment, regardless of your thermostat setting. Tom Rostron Company Inc. may also recommend sealing your home's ducts. Leading options include mastic, metal tape or aerosol-based sealant. We can also help you balance your duct system to optimize air flow to all rooms.
