[Chat] recommendations, info on installation of solar tube/ skylight and attic insulation/ exhaust fans ?

[Jonathan Wetmiller]

Melissa, 

I would strongly advise against using Energy Ready, the Civic Works organization that partners with Retrofit Baltimore. Although the upstairs of my house is now considerably warmer in the winter with insulation in the attic/crawl space, my experience with them was a nightmare.

Also, if your house is anything like mine, you may need to hire an electrician to remove knob and tube wiring before insulation can be blown in. I was glad to get rid of it, but it was an extra expense.

-Jon

I'm interested in getting some attic insulation put in in my typical 3-story, flat-roofed CV row home and am wondering if anyone out there who has had done so, can provide me with recommendations (or ANTI-recommendations) for installers and any advice.

And while I'm at it, I'm also mulling installing a skylight or solar tube.  Any input or recommendations on that would be really appreciated as well.   Thanks, Melissa
