Free Inspection and Estimate

Like it or not, your attic is more than just a storage space. It influences energy efficiency, air quality, and the overall performance (and longevity) of your HVAC system. If your attic has poor insulation, rodent, leaky ductwork, and trapped heat, your air quality will suffer.

EM Energy & Air specializes in full attic renovations with a focus on insulation replacement, rodent-proofing, ductwork repairs, radiant barrier installation, attic ventilation, and more. While many contractors avoid working in tight and hard-to-reach attic spaces, our entire business is built around them! We are known as the leading attic renovation contractors in Palo Alto and all of the Bay Area, and we also help with basements, crawlspaces, and anything related to your home’s air quality.

We would be happy to inspect your attic and provide an estimate right there on the spot. We offer incredible pricing, rapid turnaround times, and the Bay Area’s best warranty on labor, and we would love to speak with you.

I highly recommend EM Energy & Air!! We had them remove and replace our attic insulation, clean and sanitize our attic and install new insulation and a heat shield in our home. The crew was awesome. They laid down plastic for the pathway, and around the entire area where work was to be performed. It took about 5 hours and they were non-stop working to completion. We got a few quotes and were well worth our cost. Can’t say enough good things about the entire process, from initial meeting, quote to work completed!!

As a Professional Engineer and HVAC business owner, I can certainly recommend E&M. I pursued multiple bids and Eilon was by far the most knowledgeable, thorough and professional. His field team was courteous, worked neatly, and finished the project on time. We already notice that the HVAC system runs less and the house holds temperature better. Strong endorsement from me.

we are very pleased having hired EM Energy & Air trough Eilon to tackle our attic project. From scheduling an appointment to getting the job done all went smoothly and faster than we expected. After reaching out on Sunday our attic got renovated within 1 week time frame: removing the old insulation, clean up of the attic, installing a whole house fan, redoing the HVAC pipes and insulation. I am very pleased with work done and professionalism of the crew. They worked very clean and swiftly ( all work was done in 1 day).

I recently hired EM Air & Energy to clean up and re-insulate my attic and handle some heating work at my home. I’m thrilled with the results and highly satisfied with their service! Elion visited my home to assess the attic and heating setup. He was thorough, knowledgeable, and gave me valuable suggestions tailored to my needs. The contractors who came to do the actual work were efficient, hardworking, and professional throughout. The pricing was fair, and I truly feel I received excellent value for the cost. The entire process was seamless, and I’m happy to recommend EM Air & Energy to anyone looking for top-quality service.

I called up these folks initially to get an estimate to clean out my attic. They provided me the best bid I received in terms of details and price. After a candid conversation with Eilon, I decided to have EM energy and air also install new insulation and seal off my attic. The crew were very thorough in sealing off all the possible rodent entry points and did a great job with the cleaning. And the insulation came just in time for the heat wave. It made a 10 degree difference in the inside temperature of my home. Great experience, would highly recommend them.

Installing two heat pump with EM was a breeze; communication was very timely and the job was done well and as agreed. Quote process: They got me a fair quote same-day by just from sending them info over text (while other companies took weeks) and the price was fair. Change orders: I decided later I want two units, and again it was a smooth process. Also later there was an equipment change – and it made it convenient for me. Job Day: 4 guys arrived as agreed and get it done same day. I talked to most of them and all were polite, nice and upbeat. They let me inspect the work closely, made sure I am happy and give me tips on next steps. TLDR; Would hire them again and I am happy to recommend to my neighbors!

Attic Insulation Replacement for Better Comfort

Old insulation often loses its effectiveness, allowing heat to escape in the winter and enter in the summer. Replacing outdated insulation improves comfort while making the home more energy-efficient. Many attics in Palo Alto contain fiberglass batts that have settled, become compressed, or suffered contamination from pests and moisture. Upgrading to modern blown-in fiberglass, cellulose, or mineral wool keeps temperatures stable and provides better soundproofing.

Before installing new insulation, our team removes the old material, cleans the attic, and seals any gaps that allow energy loss. Air leaks between the attic and living space contribute to inconsistent temperatures, so we focus on sealing and insulating for maximum efficiency.

Rodent Control and Attic Cleanup

Attics often attract rodents searching for warmth and nesting material. These pests chew through insulation, wiring, and air ducts, leaving behind contaminated droppings that pose health risks. Our rodent-proofing process includes a full attic inspection to locate entry points, sealing gaps, and installing protective barriers to prevent future infestations.

Removing contaminated insulation, disinfecting the attic, and repairing damaged materials restore the space to a cleaner and healthier condition. Once these steps are complete, the attic is better protected against pests and provides a more efficient environment for the HVAC system.

Ductwork Repair and Replacement

Air ducts run through the attic, distributing heated or cooled air throughout the home. Damaged or leaky ducts allow conditioned air to escape before reaching its intended destination, leading to higher energy bills and uneven temperatures.

Our team inspects ductwork to identify leaks, loose connections, and contamination from dust or rodents. In some cases, sealing and cleaning the ducts restores their efficiency. If ducts are old, crushed, or poorly installed, replacing them provides a more effective long-term solution. Properly designed and insulated ducts reduce energy waste and improve airflow, making a noticeable difference in home comfort.

Attic Roofing Repairs and Moisture Control

Leaks in the attic often go unnoticed until they cause visible damage. Moisture from roof leaks leads to mold growth, rotting wood, and reduced insulation effectiveness. If the attic has signs of water damage or high humidity, addressing the issue prevents further problems.

Our team repairs minor roof leaks, installs vapor barriers, and improves attic ventilation to control moisture levels. Keeping the attic dry extends the life of insulation and prevents conditions that attract pests.

Radiant Barrier Installation for Energy Efficiency

Attic temperatures in Palo Alto often rise to extreme levels during the summer. Heat from the sun radiates through the roof, making it harder for air conditioning systems to maintain a comfortable temperature. Installing a radiant barrier reduces heat transfer, helping to keep indoor spaces cooler without overworking the AC.

A radiant barrier is a reflective material installed on the underside of the roof. Instead of absorbing heat, it reflects it back toward the exterior, reducing attic temperatures. Homes with radiant barriers often see lower cooling costs, improved HVAC efficiency, and a more comfortable environment year-round.

Attic Ventilation and Whole House Fan Installation

A well-ventilated attic prevents heat buildup, controls moisture, and protects roofing materials. Without proper airflow, hot air becomes trapped, forcing air conditioning systems to work harder. Poor ventilation also contributes to condensation, which leads to mold and wood rot.

Installing attic fans improves airflow by actively pulling hot air out and allowing fresh air to enter. Soffit, ridge, and gable vents provide passive ventilation, creating a balanced system that keeps the attic from overheating. Whole house fans offer another solution, pulling cool outdoor air into the home during mild evenings and venting hot air through the attic.

Attic Remodeling and Conversion Services

Beyond functional improvements, attic renovations provide an opportunity to transform the space into something more useful. Many attics have the potential to become home offices, libraries, guest rooms, or even small apartments.

Our team handles attic remodeling projects from start to finish, including insulation upgrades, flooring installation, drywall, lighting, and ventilation improvements. Converting an attic into a livable space requires careful planning, but the result adds valuable square footage to the home. Whether creating a quiet workspace or an extra bedroom, our team ensures the attic is comfortable, efficient, and properly finished.
