Insulation is a key component to your home's ability to perform well. Our WellHome Advisors have an expertise in detecting areas of your Howard County home that are missing the proper insulation. We can pinpoint these precise areas and add blown cellulose, blown fiberglass or fiberglass batts to increase your home's energy efficiency.

Conditioned air shouldn't escape through the space around where a water pipe leaves your home, through a gap in a door frame, or through a drafty window. Air should leave the rooms of your home the same way it came in, through a system of ducts. The answer to better home performance can be basic, like applying caulk to areas where conditioned air is escaping from your home. All parts of a house should work together for maximum home performance.

When ducts are tight, air pressure is consistent and an even amount of conditioned air enters all rooms of your house. So, duct tightening can help address room-to-room variations in temperature. WellHome service providers know where and how to tighten duct work, update duct work, and make other simple fixes. Sometimes the smart solution is not necessarily expensive nor high-tech.
