Air Sealing & Insulation
Many Maryland homes have some insulation, but not enough. This can mean expensive heating and cooling bills as well as an uncomfortable home throughout the year. Air gaps are also common in Maryland homes, which allow pollutants to make their way indoors, among other issues. Air sealing and insulation work together to keep your home protected from these problems and many more.
Signs that could mean your home needs more insulation and air sealing include:
- High energy bills
- Indoor drafts
- Ice dams on your roof
- Allergy & asthma symptoms
- Frozen pipes
- Hot upstairs
Heating & Cooling System Repairs or Upgrades
Old, inefficient, or faulty heating and cooling systems will use more energy to keep your home comfortable. Even if your furnace, boiler, or central AC is still working, it still could be wasting energy and money. Repairing your HVAC systems or replacing them with a newer model could help make heating and cooling your home more affordable. Combustion fuel equipment has the added risk of carbon monoxide leaks, making it important to deal with these problems as soon as possible.
Signs that could mean your home needs HVAC repairs or replacements include:
- Strange noises or odd smells coming from your system
- Rising energy bills
- A system that’s always running
- Equipment over 10-15 years old

Signs that could mean your home needs water heater repairs or a replacement include:
- Inconsistent hot water
