Services
Home Energy Audit
Our comprehensive 3-hour energy audit identifies efficiency gaps through thermal imaging, blower door tests, and combustion safety diagnostics. Certified auditors evaluate insulation levels, duct leakage, and HVAC performance while providing immediate energy-saving solutions like LED bulbs and pipe insulation. The audit qualifies homeowners for utility rebates up to $7,500 and includes a prioritized improvement plan with cost projections and estimated energy savings.
Attic Insulation
We address heat loss through professional attic sealing and insulation upgrades to R-49 standards. Our process combines air leak sealing with spray foam and cellulose insulation to eliminate drafts and temperature imbalances. By addressing both thermal resistance and air infiltration, we reduce energy consumption while improving comfort in all home areas connected to the attic space.
Crawlspace Insulation
Our closed-cell spray foam insulation and vapor barrier system transforms unconditioned crawlspaces into energy-efficient zones. The solution prevents moisture intrusion, radon infiltration, and heat transfer while addressing common issues like frozen pipes and humidity-related damage. This comprehensive approach improves first-floor comfort and protects structural integrity.
Aeroseal Duct Sealing
This innovative technology seals HVAC duct leaks from inside without wall demolition. Using charged aerosol particles, we target gaps in ductwork that cause energy waste and uneven temperatures. The result is improved system efficiency, better air quality, and reduced utility costs through restored airflow to living spaces.
HVAC Optimization
We specialize in right-sizing heating and cooling systems after completing home envelope improvements. Our Bryant equipment installations integrate with insulation and duct sealing work to create balanced, energy-efficient climate control. Premium service plans include extended warranties and priority maintenance for long-term system reliability.

They installed insulation in our attic, crawl space, air sealed our doors, and installed new bathroom fans to help with air circulation in the house. They maxed out our pepco credit and got us the max rebate. Great business, highly recommend them.

phase 1 of my project has been completed and they arrived on time, clean up after the work is done. It was not like they had made a mess to start with. Explained what they were doing each day and did exactly that. This is a Great Experience!

Used Atlas for a home energy review and updates, including rebates for heating/cooling changes to my home. This winter I have dropped the thermostat at least three degrees, and I see this reduction in my monthly heating costs. It is a milder winter, however, my sunroom glass has always impacted the thermostat - and that is less of a worry this year. I had a similar experience with temperature control in the hot summer months. They walked me through all changes, answered questions easily, didn't mind showing me their work. I recommend Atlas for quality and their audit for helping to improved your

I was impressed by the knowledge of the representative (Nolan Walker), who came to our home and conducted a Home Energy Audit in participation of Maryland's Home Performance with Energy Star program. Nolan was not only knowledgeable, but he thoroughly explained the process as well as next steps. He also did an excellent job of explaining our home's current weaknesses and strengths as regards insulation.

My applause and gratitude to "Atlas Home Energy Solutions". Each step in my interactions with Atlas to make my home more energy efficient has been truly first-rate. This has included the (i) initial assessment of my home, (ii) interactions to understand what I need and set up dates for work, (iii) specialty projects to duct a central exhaust fan and associated work, and (iv) sealing and insulation in my attic areas, basement areas, and overhanging areas of my home. The Atlas personnel arriving at my home have been prompt, professional, polite, knowledgable - and each have performed superb jobs

Used Atlas home energy for home energy audit and energy improvements. They aerosealed my ducts, sealed up holes in the attic and added insulation. Massively improved the energy efficiency of the old house I recently purchased. Everyone I interacted with at the company from office staff to the auditor to the guys who did the work was exceptional. Very professional, courteous and trustworthy. The people who did the in home work did an amazing job - arrived promptly, did quality work, and left my house looking cleaner than when they started. Extremely pleased with the serviced I received. I would

Atlas is a fantastic company. I reached out to several companies for a quote on attic insulation. They were the only company to recommend a home energy audit so I could get a BGE rebate on the work I was going to have done anyway. The workers were prompt and took the time to explain everything. Well definitely use them in the future and Ive recommended hem to all my family in the area!
