A homeowner in Newark, DE 19711, reported a loud humming noise from their radon mitigation system, prompting a detailed inspection. It turned out that the radon fan was both undersized and damaged, compromising the system’s effectiveness. Given the condition of the existing components, a full system replacement was recommended for better performance and long-term reliability. The new system was installed smoothly, tailored to meet the home's specific needs. If your radon system is acting up or you're unsure about its efficiency, contact us for a professional assessment and a solution that suits your home.

A can light is recessed lighting in a ceiling and is installed by simply cutting a hole out and placing the light over it.  This type of installation allows air to leak between the fixture and the drywall to the room or attic above causing a lot of energy loss.  When an incandescent or halogen bulb is on it burns at 380 degrees fahrenheit.  Air this hot rises at a faster rate and can cause the fixture to leak air faster as well.  Because the lights burn at such a high heat most can light covers have not been rated to have insulation against them due to the fire hazard they create when turned on.  

Dr. Energy Saver Delmarva can take care of sealing and insulating these fixtures with TiteShell can light covers.  These covers prevent the flow of air from floor to floor and they also keep all of the heat generated by the bulb in the room the light is in.  Now insulation can safely lay against this light fixture without the fear of fire due to high temperatures from the bulb. 

For optimal energy conservation, install compact florescent bulbs (CFL's) or LED bulbs.  These types of bulbs not only use less wattage to operate, they also burn at a much lower temperature making your home much easier to cool in the summer time.
