A key element in saving energy and money lies in how well your home is insulated. If you suffer because of cold spots, drafty rooms, high utility bills or inconsistent temperatures, it’s time to take a serious look at the way your home is sealed or insulated.
our energy experts have been performing home evaluations and helping customers find ways to improve their energy efficiency. When you need air sealing, duct sealing or insulation, our team can make recommendations and fix any existing issues that are preventing you from living your best and most comfortable indoor life.
Inadequate insulation that results in air leaking is one of the top energy wasters in today’s homes. Don’t let your comfort be a victim of poor insulation.
Air balancing is a delicate act. When a house is in balance, the volume of conditioned air entering and leaving rooms is approximately equal, creating neutral air pressure that’s most effective and efficient for cooling and heating. However, your home may gradually go out of balance over time as changes occur in your HVAC system and ductwork or the overall air-tightness of your home. The imbalance becomes noticeable as rooms closest to the indoor air handler are cooler or warmer while others far away are always uncomfortable.

Ventilators bring fresh air into your home without losing heating or cooling energy. Their unique energy exchange system transfers the heating or cooling energy from the stale air being exhausted from your home to the fresh air the ventilator brings into your home.
If your family suffers from allergies, ventilators are a much better alternative for introducing fresh air into your home versus opening your windows. They also do a great job of reducing cooking and pet odors, smoke and other pollutants out of your home.
A humidifier will help to reduce arid air in your household during the winter months. As well as the respiratory problems and dry skin it can cause.
When there’s high humidity during the hottest part of the year, a whole-home dehumidifier eliminates moisture from your living space’s air. This makes your home appear to be colder with a elevated thermostat setting, very likely saving you more on your cooling expenses.
