This customer was having trouble maintaining comfortable temperatures in the home. In the winter, their furnace was working extremely hard to try and maintain a warm environment in the home. They also were concerned with the fact that parts of their home were unable to stay cool in the summer. After an inspection of this home's attic, it was clear that they needed some insulation updates. Our team started by removing any debris and trash, along with removing the old and outdated insulation. The team was then tasked with disconnecting the attic fan along with covering and sealing around the edges. Attic fans are typically used in the spring and summer and allow the home to stay cooler. An unknown fact about attic fans is that they can cause your home to be warmer in the summer and cause your HVAC system to work harder in season. Attic fans allow conditioned air into the attic instead of providing the desired temperature in the designated area. This causes our customer's homes to be less energy efficient and comfortable. 

After disconnecting, covering, and sealing the attic fan, our team installed proper ventilation. This will reduce moisture in the attic and prevent the growth of mold and mildew. This will also help reduce attic temperatures to maintain a consistent temperature in the living space. Finally, our team blew in cellulose insulation. Cellulose insulation is very beneficial in reducing energy bills, discouraging mold, increasing noise reduction, and warding off unwanted pests. 

In the end, this customer was satisfied and relieved to be able to truly enjoy the comfort of their home and will no longer have to worry about high bills and uncomfortable temperatures. 

This customer was working alongside an HVAC company and our insulation company to get their remodeled home ready to accommodate their home comfort needs. HVAC companies and insulation companies work hand in hand to get the job done. Without a proper air conditioner or furnace, insulation has nothing to maintain stable temperatures over. Without proper insulation, an air conditioner or furnace has to work harder and use more energy to try and keep the temperatures of the home under control. Both of these situations are costly and extremely energy inefficient. After this home is completely remodeled, our customers will be able to stay comfortable and happy in their own homes.

• Why they needed a radon mitigation system: Elevated radon levels in the commercial property near Oak Park Cleaners raised concerns about indoor air quality and the safety of staff and visitors.

• Why the customer chose the company: Green Factor Insulation was selected for their expertise in commercial radon mitigation and ability to handle complex building layouts with professional, code-compliant installations.

• What's causing the problem: Radon gas was seeping through the soil beneath the building slab, a common issue in areas with permeable soil that allows soil gas intrusion into indoor spaces.

• How we fixed the problem (Mitigation Process):

  • Conducted Pressure Field Extension Testing to assess soil permeability and determine optimal extraction points.

  • Installed an active soil depressurization system with multiple extraction points for maximum radon reduction.

  • Set up a soil gas fan and connected an airflow monitoring manometer to ensure system performance.

  • Powered the system through the building’s main electrical panel with the help of a licensed electrician.

  • Installed a fan housing cover to maintain a clean and professional appearance.

• What's unique about this situation: This commercial project required coordination of electrical work, soil testing, and custom fan placement to fit the existing building layout, ensuring effective radon reduction without disrupting daily business operations.
