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!

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!

You may wonder, "what exactly is an energy audit".

Dehumidification in Milton, DE

You don't want to risk failing to controlling the humidity in this coastal climate. To many owners have learned the hard way, mold will start growing in a heartbeat in your crawlspace in the summer when the relative humidity outside skyrockets to well above the 60 - 70%, threshold above which mold growth is almost certain to occur. Installation of dehumidification equipment in this climate is absolutely necessary. This homeowner in Milton, DE  made that wise decision years ago. He also knows it makes no sense to spend a lot of money on expensive HVAC equipment and then fail to maintain it on a regular basis. That's why Lawson Home Services visits Ron's home every year to check the SaniDry™ dehumidifier that was installed in his home nine years ago. 
Lawson's tech are thorough and perform all the essential tasks, changing filters, performing electrical and function tests, and cleaning and/or repairing any components needed. You can rely on Lawson's to keep your crawlspace high and dry. The annual inspections are scheduled at your convenience, and are inexpensive.

Duct Clean Out and Sealing in Milton, DE

The most energy efficient HVAC equipment made in the world today can not perform efficiently if the ductwork is leaking. The air is delivered to the rooms where it is needed after the heat pump, air conditioning, or furnace equipment has already done its job. But too often we discover ductwork that leaks away as much as 30-50% of the conditioned air. It escapes of the ductwork before it even reaches the rooms where it is supposed to go. That's no good.  

Fortunately Lawson Home Services has a great solution, an ingenious product discovered by a University of California research scientist. AeroSeal™ seals the ductwork from the inside out and uses the pressure of the leaks to seal the openings shut. 

The results in this Milton, DE home were rather dramatic. Three-quarters of the air that was previously leaking away is now being captured by the AeroSeal™ and delivered to the rooms where it is intended to go. That will certainly result in a big increase of comfort and a reduction of the energy costs.

These energy saving services often qualify for subsidy by Energize Delaware Program (Delaware residents only). Call Lawson Home Services today to schedule the Platinum Duct Cleaning and AeroSeal™ Duct Sealing services.

This Milton, DE can breathe much easier now knowing the garden of black mold that was growing inside her ductwork is now gone, after Lawson Home Services performed a Platinum Duct Cleaning service.  

Need we say more? This service can be done relatively quickly without disrupting your life or your bank account. You can see what the alternative could be. So call Lawson Home Services today to schedule your HVAC clean out. In addition to cleaning the ductwork we also clean your HVAC coils so your equipment can work more efficiently, saving you money by reducing your energy bill and increasing the life of the equipment. And while you're at it, why not have us clean your clothes dryer duct work?

Annual Maintenance in Milton, DE

Lawson Home Service's technicians recently returned to conduct the recommended annual maintenance for this Milton, DE home, in which we had upgraded the attic insulation and crawlspace encapsulation system back in 2015. 

 

Annual maintenance involves a thorough inspection to ensure all equipment and measures previously installed in the crawlspace are functioning properly. This includes checking for wear and tear of the liner, inspection and cleaning of the Sedona SaniDry™ dehumidifier and sump pump equipment, cleaning and replacement of filters, and checking all lines and hoses to see they remain properly connected and cleaning them if the are found to be clogged.

 

Just looks at this clean SaniDry™ CX crawlspace - clean enough to dine in.

Newly Installed Tankless Water Heater Saves Milton, DE Homeowners Hundreds

Milton, DE homeowners Kerry W. and Patricia H. found that the floors in their home were extremely cold and that their heating bill was skyrocketing.  Desperate for answers and change, the homeowners began asking around for an insulation contractor.  The homeowners were soon referred to Dr. Energy Saver Delmarva whom they immediately contacted for an estimate.  

 

The following week, the homeowners were met by insulation specialist David Lawson.  Kerry and Patricia explained the problems they were having, and David asked if he could evaluate the home.  After evaluating the home and the crawl space, David discovered that their insulation had deteriorated and was not able to hold heat.  To solve this problem, David recommended the installation of new insulation throughout the home.  Another problem he noticed was that the homeowner’s water heater was faulty and costing them a lot of money.  David recommended that the couple install a tankless water heater.  A tankless water heater can save anywhere from $200 to almost $600 on one’s electric bill.  This is because unlike traditional water heater, which heats and reheats water all day long, a tankless water heater will only heat water when needed.

 

Production Team One was called in by David once the recommended products were agreed upon.  At Dr. Energy Saver Delmarva, the number one goal is to give you the best product possible and keep your home energy efficient. Thanks to their newly installed tankless water heater and insulation, Kerry and Patricia’s home will be energy efficient and save them money!  

SmartSump Ensures Safe Drainage of Water in the Future

A crawl space is often a place in the home that is overlooked, especially if the crawl space is not used at all.  When Milton, DE homeowner Roberta H. noticed that her floors were cold and a musty smell lingered throughout her home, she decided to call a professional to diagnose her problem.  While at a town wide festival, she noticed a stand for Dr. Energy Saver Delmarva who she decided to contact.

 

Soon after contacting them, Roberta was met by Delmarva representative Michael Brittingham to evaluate her home.  Michael immediately smelled the must throughout the home, and after realizing the cold floors could be due to a lack of insulation in the crawl space, asked Roberta if he could take a look in her crawl space.  While examining the crawl space, Michael noticed excess moisture, mold growth, and the deterioration of previously installed insulation.  After explaining the status of the crawl space to Roberta, Michael began to talk about possible solutions to her problems.  To eliminate the moisture causing the mold to grow, Michael recommended installing CleanSpace Encapsulation Matting.  This patented matting is installed along the floors and walls of a crawl space and prevents outside moisture from penetrating into the crawl space.  Coupled with this, Michael recommended the installation of a SmartSump sump pump.  The SmartSump is a sump pump with a unique design, specifically designed to accept the CleanSpace encapsulation system for an airtight seal. The SmartSump is built with a unique lid, which, if filled with water will sound an alarm to alert a homeowner to trouble.  Michael recommended that the insulation be replaced and new insulation be installed.  After clearing the crawl space of its previous insulation, Michael recommended that closed cell spray foam insulation be applied.  Closed Cell Spray Foam insulation is an all in one air sealing insulation suitable for extreme insulation requirements.  Other recommended products include Everlast Crawl Space Door, CleanSpace pier wrap, UltraSump sump pump and a SilverGlow R20 insulation board.  

 

After going over the complete installation process, Roberta agreed to the recommended products and Michael called in Delmarva’s Production Team One to complete the installation and remediation process.  After a fast installation process, Roberta’s crawl space no longer had a musty smell and was well insulated, leading to both a happy home and a happy homeowner for the oncoming years!
