When it comes to insulating your home, it is very important to be thorough- do it once and do it right. We offer Duct Insulation, Crawl Space Insulation and Attic Insulation services. Air pollution inside of homes is often 2 to 5 times higher than outdoor levels. Your home needs to have a certain rate of natural or mechanical ventilation. The air exchange rates are regulated by components in the shell of the home like, windows, vents, doors, fans, fireplaces, floors, ceilings, walls. What you don't know about your ductwork can cost a lot!
Nobody knows home weatherization better! At Day Energy Solutions, you'll always be dealing with a whole house expert. You won't have to settle for a limited point of view. Often times, our competitors only know about one area of home weatherization so you won't get the big picture and the strategy that best suits your needs. Our full service weatherization company offers you advice from insulation and air sealing to heating and cooling systems and duct sealing. Our experience and knowledge means you'll always get the full benefit of a home analysis.
Are you experiencing any of these symptoms? All these can be the telltale signs of crawlspace problems, and if you choose to ignore them, you could wind up with a major repair expense down the road. Your crawl space may not be the most hospitable place in your eyes, but to rodents, small animals and insects, a readily accessible, unprotected crawl space can be home, sweet home! This is especially true when it's time to reproduce (spring) or hibernate (fall). Once an animal finds its way into your crawl space - through a missing screen or vent cover or other opening - it can do a lot of damage.
Without the presence of an effective thermal boundary your home may not only be losing valuable wintertime heat but also allowing for hot summer attic heat to easily enter as well. An effective thermal boundary should surround a building structure from top to bottom with as few breaks to its continuity as possible. Today's weatherization specs call for approximately 14 inches of blown in attic insulation along with a full pack of the wall and floor cavities. As Home Performance Specialists, we also understand the importance of sealing air leakage to the outdoors, ensuring ventilation specifications are being met and the proper baffling of all areas to allow proper circulation.
Your home needs to have a certain rate of natural or mechanical ventilation. The air exchange rates are regulated by components in the shell of the home like windows, vents, doors, fans, fireplaces, floors, ceilings, walls; and also by the ductwork (as discussed in the Duct Sealing section). Day Energy addresses all of these facets to work harmoniously, circulating an adequate amount of fresh air, while ensuring decent indoor air quality, combustion safety, energy efficency and proper moisture mitigation.
You won't find a better home performance and weatherization company to evaluate your home. The reason that Salem homeowners turn to us for their home energy solutions is because of our holistic approach to energy savings.

Using state-of-the art equipment and performance-based practices, we assess the problem areas of your home.
If you have a home with a traditional furnace, heat pump, or air conditioner, you have ductwork. The ductwork in your home transports warm or cool air throughout your home. The problem with ductwork is that it leaks. As a matter of fact, up to 30% of the air that moves through the duct system is lost due to leaks, holes and poorly connected ducts. What you end up with is higher utility bills and a less comfortable home. Now, if your ducts haven't been cleaned in sometime you also expose yourself to the dirt, dust, and bacteria that have collected in the ductwork over the years.
From all of us at Day Energy Solutions, have a Merry Christmas!
Happy Thanksgiving from our family to yours!
