Serving Howard County Homeowners
Howard County is one of Maryland’s most affluent and densely populated suburban counties, with a housing stock dominated by planned community construction in Columbia alongside older established neighborhoods in Ellicott City and newer development in the Maple Lawn and Turf Valley areas.
The planned communities of Columbia, built primarily from the 1970s through the 1990s, are now reaching an age where original insulation levels fall well short of current recommendations. Homeowners in these communities frequently see significant improvements in comfort and energy bills after attic insulation and air sealing upgrades.
York Home Performance serves Howard County homeowners and is a BGE HPwES approved contractor. We check your BGE rebate eligibility as part of every estimate.
Insulation and Home Performance Services in Howard County
We offer the full range of insulation and home performance services. Every project starts with a diagnostic assessment so our recommendations are specific to your home.
Attic Insulation
The attic is the highest-priority area in most Maryland homes. We install blown-in fiberglass, cellulose, batt, spray foam, and mineral wool, always air sealing before adding insulation. Bringing the attic to the correct R-value for Maryland's climate is the single highest-return improvement available in most homes.
Wall Insulation
Many older Maryland homes have little or no wall insulation. We inject insulation using minimally invasive methods that do not require removing drywall, improving comfort and reducing energy loss through exterior walls.
Crawl Space Insulation
Maryland's humid climate makes crawl space encapsulation especially important. We insulate and encapsulate crawl spaces to seal out moisture, control humidity, and reduce the energy load on your home.
Basement Insulation
Rim joist and basement wall insulation reduces cold drafts at floor level and improves comfort on the floors above. A cost-effective upgrade that delivers consistent results in Maryland homes.
Air Sealing
Air sealing closes the gaps and penetrations where conditioned air escapes. We include it in every project and use blower door testing to verify the improvement, as required by the BGE HPwES program.
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 required for BGE HPwES rebate approval, and give us the data to make accurate recommendations.
