Do you need a Home Upgrade?
My furnace is old and noisy
In the summer we sleep downstairs
because it’s too hot in our bedrooms
I wonder if the house makes my daughter’s
asthma worse
I dread our utility bill each month
My house was built in the 1960s and has
never been upgraded
I want toSAVE ENERGY!

Air sealing: the “secret sauce”
A drafty home typically isn’t air sealed
Most homes have the equivalent of an open window in small air leaks
If you don’t seal drafts first, air will flow through the insulation
A leaky home means poor indoor air quality
Insulation is like a sweater or fleece jacket for your home.
Insulation is a thermal barrier
Not all insulation is effective
Insulation leads to a more comfortable and durable home
Insulation reduces capacity and size of new mechanical equipment
Insulation:the “comfort creator”
Leaky ducts are like a leaky garden hose
Leaky ducts require cleaning & air bypasses your filter
Avoid wear and tear on your furnace or air conditioner
Get comfortable. Conditioned air where you want it, and when you want it
Duct Sealing
Average life expectancy of heating & cooling systems is ~10-15 years
Higher SEER and AFUE ratings mean your HVAC system operates more efficiently
Improved components lead to improved efficiency
Improved safety and reduced maintenance
High Efficiency HVAC
