Home comfort is obviously a top priority for Northern VA, DC and Maryland area homeowners. At Home Energy Medics, we understand the value of having a comfortable and cozy place to return to at the end of the day, and we can help local families whose homes are uncomfortable to live in. Our services are tailored to your individual needs and can address a variety of comfort issues.
WHAT COMFORT ISSUES DOES HOME ENERGY MEDICS SOLVE?
Issues with your home’s insulation and air sealing or heating and cooling systems can create an uncomfortable indoor environment for your family. Home Energy Medics offers a wide range of services that help tackle the specific comfort problems you’re experiencing in your house, including:
INDOOR DRAFTS
Drafty rooms can be caused by a variety of factors. Air could be leaking in the upper levels of the home, which allows warm air to escape and unwanted cold air to be drawn in. It’s also possible that your windows and doors are inadequately sealed.
UNEVEN INDOOR TEMPERATURES
Homes that are underinsulated or have air leaks often have rooms or floors that can vary significantly in temperature. Many of these issues are often caused by a building science principle called the “stack effect,” which explains how heat and air move throughout the building. Do any of the following scenarios sound familiar?
- An upstairs that gets very hot on summer afternoons
Particular rooms that are chilly in the winter or hot and stuffy in the summer
Cold floorboards in the morning
A heating or cooling system that never seems to be able to keep your house comfortable
If so, you likely have issues with your home that our team can solve.
ROOMS THAT ARE TOO HOT OR TOO COLD
Sometimes poor insulation, air leaks, or leaking or imbalanced ductwork can create comfort issues in specific rooms. In other cases, the heating and cooling system in your home may be too old to deliver conditioned air to every room in your house.
IMPROVE YOUR HOME COMFORT—SCHEDULE A HOME ENERGY AUDIT
Though each home requires a unique solution depending on the situation, our comprehensive energy audit will pinpoint exactly which solutions will have the greatest impact at the lowest cost. A home performance energy audit with Home Energy Medics is the best way to determine exactly which fixes will yield the greatest impact at the lowest cost. The combination of a blower door assessment and infrared imaging will pinpoint the drafts at their source, so they can be eliminated effectively, leaving your home cozy and comfortable.
Along with the results of your energy audit, we’ll also include our recommendations for the services that we believe will best solve the unique issues in your home, including a wide range of comfort issues. This can include:
Upgraded insulation and air sealing
Duct sealing
Heating and cooling system upgrades
Soundproofing
New window and door installation
If you’re wondering why your upstairs bedroom is so hot in the summer, or how you can make your home more comfortable year-round with cellulose or spray foam insulation, reach out to our team of award-winning building science professionals today.

Looking for Duct Sealing? Did you know...
There is a substantial amount of energy loss when your HVAC system works overtime to make up for leaks and gaps in your ductwork. In addition to increased energy bills, the unnecessary strain on your system can significantly shorten its lifespan or lead to costly repairs. Air duct leaks can also create indoor air quality issues by allowing dust, allergens, and other pollutants easy access to the air circulating through your home. Having properly sealed ducts keeps these pollutants out of the air you breathe and balances temperatures, leaving your home feeling more comfortable.
HEAR WHAT OUR CUSTOMERS HAVE TO SAY
Home Energy Medics did a wonderful job on our house. We now have much better heating and cooling. The original audit was very revealing of heat leakage points throughout the house. I had no idea that recessed lighting "cans" could leak so much outside air into the house.
