- Safety First
Before we make any comfort or energy efficiency improvements, we require all safety issues to be dealt with. For example, during our mechanical systems evaluation, we often find that hot water heaters “backdraft” combustion byproducts into the home. This is a potentially life threatening issue and gets first priority. - Air Sealing
Air leakage occurs in many areas throughout your home, not just around doors and windows. Common culprits include basements, recessed can lights, knee walls, attic hatches, and electrical and plumbing penetrations. Air leaks significantly raise your energy bill, make your home uncomfortable, and affect your indoor air quality. Using the blower door, we can locate hidden leaks throughout your home and seal them to provide you with greater comfort, health, and energy efficiency. - Duct Sealing
Duct leaks in your attic or crawl space force your mechanical systems to run longer and work harder, robbing you of comfort and energy. In many homes, duct leakage can increase heating and cooling costs by 30%. In addition, leaks in your duct system can pull pollutants and irritants into your home, negatively affecting indoor air quality. Our technicians will permanently seal holes, cracks and gaps in your ducts with non-toxic mastics and caulks. Some duct systems can also be rebuilt to provide proper airflow or insulated so that they retain more conditioned air. - Insulation
Heat loss and gain through materials comprise the largest energy demand on most homes. For most old homes and many newer homes, insulation is a cost-effective way to reduce this heat loss and gain. We take time to insulate thoroughly and correctly so that you not only experience greater comfort, but also reduce your demand for heating and cooling. - HVAC Equipment and Hot Water Heating
Today’s mechanical systems are significantly more efficient than those of the past. Replacing big-ticket items like furnaces and air conditioners does not qualify as “low-hanging fruit” for most homes. However, depending on the condition and performance of your existing HVAC and hot water heating systems, it may be advisable to replace them. - Solar Energy
Keeping with our philosophy of energy fundamentals and efficiency first, we work with you to make your home “solar ready” before installing any renewable energy system. Many excellent incentive programs now exist that make solar more affordable than ever. We have years of experience with renewable energy and encourage every homeowner to consider this clean source of hot water and electricity. - The Little Things
The little things matter when it comes to home comfort, health, and energy efficiency. Whether it’s installing a compact fluorescent light, a programmable thermostat, or a water saving faucet aerator, we are a full service energy solutions company and will work with you to make your home more efficient. Each home is unique and calls for a unique solution.
