Custom Home Energy Audits
The best way to determine what the cause of your home's inefficiencies are is by performing a home energy audit. Our custom home energy audit can help us discover the root cause for your home's issues, and while we are going through the house, we can figure out what solutions we can use to permanently fix this. Before we start going through the home, we will sit down with you to see what your primary concerns are, and we will make these issues a priority. Once we have completed the audit, we will talk with you again to go over the results and our findings. Based on what we uncover, we will make recommendations to fix your home and create a more energy-efficient environment you and your family will enjoy for years to come! Contact us today for a home energy consultation.
Radon Testing & Mitigation
Radon is a naturally occurring invisible & odorless gas that can have a big impact on the air quality of your home. Radon is also the second leading cause of lung cancer after cigarette smoke. High levels of radon gas are commonly found throughout Delaware & E. Shore Maryland and because radon gas cannot be seen, smelled, or tasted the only way to ensure that you and your family are not affected by this dangerous gas is to have one of our experts visit your home and perform proper testing. Radon testing is the fastest & most effective way to ensure the safety of your family. Depending on the results of the test, Lawson Home Services can offer several radon mitigation solutions that will limit exposure to the gas and also ventilate it away from your home. Our radon mitigation methods are highly successful and we always stand behind our work! To learn more about radon gas mitigation and testing call or click today!
A dryer works by blowing warm air over your damp clothes, causing the moisture to evaporate. That moist air has to be carried away, and is pushed outside the home through ductwork. The faster that air can be exhausted the sooner your clothes will get dry. But if your ductwork gets clogged up, like this one in Chester, MD, then the air slows down. That causes the dryer to run longer which runs up your utility bill. And since the dryer is the most expensive home appliance to operate, it makes sense to keep the duct work clean so your dryer can operate most efficiently. It will also free up a lot of your time on laundry day, so you don't have to stand around waiting and waiting for your clothes to get dry.
This homeowner didn't realize it, but the flex duct going from her dryer to the rigid tubing had torn and needed to be replaced. That was a quick and inexpensive fix.
If you haven't cleaned out your dryer ductwork then pick up the phone and call Lawson Home Services. We'll put you on the schedule and before you know it we'll have your dryer ducts sparkling clean. We also clean out HVAC ductwork, important for efficient operation of your heating and air conditioning systems and for cleaner, healthier indoor air.
Donnie Lonski, Lawson Home Services' savvy tech, recently performed the annual maintenance service for these prudent homeowners in Chester, MD. Catching problems before they turn into major issues is one of the advantages of scheduling regular service and maintenance. In this case a very dangerous problem was discovered as Donnie entered the crawlspace. Somehow the condensation pump was unplugged, resulting in an overflow onto the CleanSpace™ liner floor. The worst part was one end of the extension cord was laying in a puddle of water while the other end was still plugged in to the electrical outlet. Donnie's eagle eye spotted the problem right away.\ and the situation was immediately remedied. The only consequence was the moisture content of the floor joists in the crawlspace was slightly elevated - but still below the 16% we don't want to exceed, since mold growth and wood rot can begin to occur at higher moisture levels.
The Sedona SaniDry™ dehumidifier was inspected and serviced: filter cleaned and replaced. The unit was swithced on for a test run, the proper settings verified., and the humidity of the airflow coming out was measured and found to be as dry as a bone - just what we want.
Next the sump pump was inspected and all moving parts inspected to ensure proper operation of the pump. Cleaning was not necessary in this case.
Finally the humidity of the air inside the crawlspace was measured at 59%, a bit higher than we like, but that was likely due to the condensate overflow onto the CleanSpace™ floor which we fixed.
If there are no unexpected problems in the meantime, we will be back next year to make sure everything continues to be in proper working order.
