Attic and Crawl space insulation improvements in Harrington, DE

This home in Harrington, DE, built in 1989, needed a lot of upgrades. There were so many things this home needed. This wise homeowner chose to invest in a complete makeover of both her attic and crawlspace. In addition, all her HVAC and Dryer vent duct work were cleaned out, and air sealed to prevent costly unwanted leaks. We even cleaned off her HVAC coils (which really needed it). 

When it was all finished the homeowner was delighted. She even sent us a kind note in the mail, to let us know she was very happy with the workers during the process. It's so nice to know our efforts to go above and beyond do not go unnoticed. 

The pictures here will give you some idea of the amazing transformation that occurs when Lawson Home Services use Dr. Energy Saver methods to improve the comfort, air quality, and energy efficiency of your home. Call us today to schedule an appointment to see what we can do at your home.  

Home Energy Audit in Greenwood, DE

Lawson Home Services' energy auditor sees the same things over and over: Under insulated attics filled with all kinds of dead animals and bugs, penetrations all over the attic floor contributing to loss of valuable conditioned air from the living spaces below, musty damp ventilated crawlspaces, standing puddles of water everywhere on the crawlspace floor with who knows what festering in that, uninsulated rim band joists. And to think all that is just a few feet away from the space where you live, breathe, sleep, bathe. And of course there are the negative aspects, the energy cost, comfort, and indoor air quality issues that result from all these deficiencies.

Dr. Energy Saver has a cost effective solution for all this. Why not find out by calling Lawson Home Services today to schedule an energy audit for your home. The best part is most of the cost will be paid for by the "Energize Delaware" Program - your out-of-pocket expense will be just a fraction of the actual cost of the audit, money well spent!

You will see just how much your uncomfortable home is costing you and how you could be comfortable and pay less over time by upgrading your home and making it energy efficient. Call us today. 

Annual dehumidifier maintenance in Magnolia, DE

Lawson Home Services has visited this Magnolia, DE home many times for annual follow up maintenance inspections since encapsulating the crawlspace and installing a Sedona SaniDry™ dehumidifier back in 2014. Lawson's annual maintenance service includes a thorough inspection to ensure all previously installed measures. are still functioning properly. Pumps and hoses are disassembled and cleaned, and replaced if needed.

During this visit Lawson's tech, John Carpenter, discovered a plumber had relocated the SaniDry™ within the crawlspace but failed to level the unit properly. Worse yet, the plumber had replaced the discharge line in such a way that could have completely caused the dehumidifier to stop doing its job. The discharge water was overflowing from the unit onto the floor of the crawlspace. John leveled the unit, cleaned it, removed the dirty condensate hose, and replaced it with a new one. Now the water from the dehumidifier is going where it belongs instead of back into the air from which it was removed. 

 

Dryer duct cleaning in Georgetown, DE

A dirty dryer vent may not seem like a big deal, but in addition to being a fire hazard it runs up your gas or electric bill. The clothes dryer uses more energy than any other household appliance and works by evaporating the moisture off your clothes then blowing the moist air away.  The faster the airstream the faster your clothes get dry, and the less it costs. So keeping dryer ductwork clean is important.

 

Lawson Home Services technician measured the speed of the airstream coming directly out of the dryer at 18 mph.  But hooked up to the dirty duct the poor dryer couldn't even get the airstream up to 5 mph.  But after a thorough clean-out the airstream was cruising along at 15 mph, a threefold improvement.
