Do you have high energy bills?  Well it could be that your home is not energy efficient. We offer home diagnostic testing to expose the culprit stealing your hard earned money.

It could be anything in your home from an improperly maintained HVAC system, old leaky duct lines, or a leaky building envelope.

Below are the types of tests we perform to figure out problem areas in your home:

Building Tightness Test (Blower Door)

  A Blower Door Test determines the air infiltration rate of air entering or leaving the building. There are several reasons for establishing the proper building tightness. An appropriately sealed home will:
• Reduce energy consumption due to air leakage
• Diminish potential condensation problems
• Avoid discomfort caused by air leaking in and out of the building.

 Duct Efficiency Test (Duct Blower)

A Duct Efficiency Test is performed utilizing a Duct Blower. This device can accurately measure the tightness of the duct system. Duct leakage is directly related to energy waste. The EPA states, “Typical duct systems lose 25% to 40% of the heating and cooling energy put out by the central furnace, heat pump, or air conditioner”. With the knowledge we have today, a properly sealed duct system should have no more than 10% leakage.

Have you noticed drafts from your doors and windows?  Do you notice a lot of dust in your home? These and other problems might indicate you may need our weatherization service.  Weatherization is the practice of making a building more energy efficient by sealing its exterior against wind and precipitation and protecting its interior from heat and cold.  Sealing up the envelope of a house is the first line of defense.  We can provide you a much more comfortable home by weatherizing your home. 

Our weatherization service includes but is not limited to:

• Installing door weather-stripping, door sweeps, or door thresholds
• Caulking windows
• Sealing Plumbing Penetrations
• Installing electrical foam gaskets
• Minor sheetrock patch work
• Blower door testing before and after our work to show you the reduction of air loss in your home

Just performing this service can save you 10%-15% on your utility bill through reducing the air leaks in your home.

Is your home not cool in the summer and warm in the winter? The Department of Energy estimates most homes have 30-40% duct leakage.  This means more than a quarter of your cooled or heated air is not reaching your living space.  This translates to money wasted on heating and cooling air not used in your home.  Our duct service will reduce energy loss and save you money.  Our duct service includes:

• Reconnecting and sealing disconnected duct lines
• Sealing the return(s)
• Sealing the plenum
• Sealing around leaky air vents
• Duct testing before and after the service to verify air loss reduction in duct system.

Even the smallest duct work leaks cost you energy dollars.

Do you have difficulty keeping your home cool or warm? Adding insulation in your attic is an effective way to cut your heating and cooling bills.  In fact, if your attic is not insulated, insulating it to R-30, depending on the climate zone, could save you as much as twenty to thirty percent on your heating and cooling costs.

Using compact fluorescent bulbs can make it possible to have the same light as incandescent bulbs but at one-third the cost.  Compact fluorescents cost more, but they save enough energy to pay for themselves many times over the period of their life expectancy.  We carry all types of compact fluorescent bulbs and wattages including but not limited to:

• Dimmable
• Three Way
• Outdoor flood
• Recessed lighting
• Small-based cfls (for candelabras)

Contact Us today to schedule your incandescent replacement service and begin saving on your utility bill with energy efficient compact fluorescent bulbs. 

A low flow showerhead typically flows at 2.0 gallons per minute, where a non low flow shower head flows on an average of 4 to 8 gallons per minute.  Replacing your showerhead to a low flow showerhead will use less hot water, which lowers your electric bill, due to the fact your water heater runs less.  You will also use less water which lowers your water bill.
