Lawson Home Services Before & After Photos

A new homeowner in Newark, DE, wanted to address elevated radon levels detected during a professional test before moving in. Knowing that radon exposure can increase the risk of lung cancer, they decided not to wait and contacted Lawson Home Services for a prompt solution. With service and price as top priorities, they trusted our team to install a radon mitigation system that effectively reduced levels below their target goal. Our crew designed and installed the system through the existing sump pit to create an efficient, low-maintenance setup. If you’re purchasing a home or preparing to move in, schedule your radon test and mitigation estimate today at Lawson Home Services to protect your home from radon exposure.

A can light is recessed lighting in a ceiling and is installed by simply cutting a hole out and placing the light over it.  This type of installation allows air to leak between the fixture and the drywall to the room or attic above causing a lot of energy loss.  When an incandescent or halogen bulb is on it burns at 380 degrees fahrenheit.  Air this hot rises at a faster rate and can cause the fixture to leak air faster as well.  Because the lights burn at such a high heat most can light covers have not been rated to have insulation against them due to the fire hazard they create when turned on.  

Dr. Energy Saver Delmarva can take care of sealing and insulating these fixtures with TiteShell can light covers.  These covers prevent the flow of air from floor to floor and they also keep all of the heat generated by the bulb in the room the light is in.  Now insulation can safely lay against this light fixture without the fear of fire due to high temperatures from the bulb. 

For optimal energy conservation, install compact florescent bulbs (CFL's) or LED bulbs.  These types of bulbs not only use less wattage to operate, they also burn at a much lower temperature making your home much easier to cool in the summer time.
