Serving Hanover and the Surrounding Area
Hanover is a York County borough with a housing stock that spans several centuries. The Hanover Historic District contains Colonial Revival and American Four Square homes dating from the 1880s through the 1920s, many of which were built before modern insulation standards existed. These older homes commonly have little to no wall insulation, inadequate attic insulation, and uninsulated crawl spaces.
Beyond the historic borough core, the surrounding area includes mid-century split-levels and ranches built in the 1950s and 1960s, which present their own set of insulation challenges. Newer construction on the outskirts of town is more likely to meet current energy standards, but older and mid-century homes throughout the Hanover area have significant room for improvement.
York Home Performance is based in Glen Rock, PA, about 20 miles north of Hanover. We serve the Hanover area regularly and are familiar with the housing types and utility programs common throughout southern York County.
Insulation and Home Performance Services in Hanover
We provide the full range of insulation and home performance services for Hanover-area homeowners. Every project starts with a diagnostic assessment, so our recommendations are specific to your home rather than generic.
Attic Insulation
The attic is the most common source of heat loss in Hanover homes. Whether you have an older home in the historic district or a mid-century ranch in the surrounding neighborhoods, we install blown-in fiberglass, blown-in cellulose, batt, spray foam, and mineral wool insulation to bring your attic to the R-value recommended for Pennsylvania's climate. We always air-seal before adding insulation.
Wall Insulation
Hanover's older homes, particularly the Colonial Revivals and American Four Squares in and around the historic district, were typically built with little or no wall insulation. We inject insulation into existing walls using minimally invasive methods that do not require removing drywall, making it a practical upgrade for homes where opening walls is not an option.
Crawl Space Insulation
Many Hanover-area homes, including older borough properties and rural homes in the surrounding townships, have vented crawl spaces that allow moisture, cold air, and pests to enter the living space from below. We insulate and encapsulate crawl spaces to seal out moisture, stabilize floor temperatures, and reduce the energy load on your heating system.
Basement Insulation
Insulating rim joists and basement walls reduces drafts at floor level and improves comfort throughout the home. It is a cost-effective upgrade that delivers consistent results across Hanover's varied housing stock, from older row homes in the borough to split-levels in the surrounding townships.
Air Sealing
Air sealing is the foundational step in any home performance project. Before any insulation is added, we seal the gaps, cracks, and penetrations where conditioned air is escaping. It is the step that makes insulation perform correctly, and we include it in every job.
Home Energy Audits
A blower door test and thermal imaging scan show exactly where your home is losing energy. Audits start at $100-$150, are often rebate-eligible through PPL or UGI, and give us the data to make accurate, specific recommendations. Hanover homeowners are frequently surprised by the results — energy loss is rarely where you expect it.
