Energy Efficiency
Blown Cellulose Insulation
Blown cellulose insulation is a fantastic resource in the “green” building movement. Blown cellulose is composed of recycled newspaper, a fire retardant and binding agents. When installed in attics or walls blown cellulose can greatly reduce heating and cooling costs while increasing indoor air quality.
Benefits of adding Blown Cellulose Insulation:
- Shown to reduce heating and cooling costs by up to 30%.
- Can reduce the size of required heating and cooling systems.
- Shown to improve indoor air quality.
- Sound deadening qualities.
- Creates a continuous thermal envelope.
- Our blown cellulose products contain the highest renewable resource content available.
Weatherization
Weatherization is the process of plugging and sealing any areas in your house that may allow the outside temperatures in. When properly installed weatherization materials can save a homeowner 25-40% on their heating and cooling bills. A typical un-weatherized house in the U.S. has the added equivalent of a 4 sq/ft hole open to the outside elements. Weatherization is one of the easiest and most economical ways a consumer can make their house more energy efficient.
- Caulk and seal around all penetrations where electrical, cable or vents enter the house.
- Seal top plates and penetrations in the attic.
- Install foam rubber gaskets behind electrical outlets.
- Caulk any visible cracks.
- Replace broken glass in windows, or replace entire window.
- Seal and insulate around any heating or cooling pipe and ducts.
- Seal the rim joist in the basement.
- Caulk around all window frames.
- Weather-strip and insulate attic access doors.
- Add insulation to areas that have settled or lack insulation.
Windows
0% Finance available for Energy Star Windows
Federal Tax Credit up to $1500
We install 3 locally manufactured window lines… HARVEY, ANDERSON and National Vinyl. We offer options and solutions to fulfill all of your window replacement needs. All of our windows are energy efficient and Low E/Argon Gas filled to qualify homeowners for Tax Credit
Low-E
Low-emittance (Low-E) is a coating that increases a window or door’s ability to diminish heat transfer, thus saving heating and cooling costs. In addition to 
energy savings, Low-E also effectively reduces the amount of transmitted ultraviolet light which can damage carpets, fabrics, and drapes.
Low-E/Argon Gas
We combine PPG Intercept®, Low-E Glass and Argon gas between the glass for superior thermal efficiency. Argon gas is much heavier than air, making it more difficult for warm or cold air to pass through. This glazing choice will meet or exceed most local building code requirements and provides ENERGY STAR® qualified performance.
Other Services and Products
Solar Electricity/Solar Domestic Hot Water
Our professional team of installers can attach photovoltaic (PV) or solar domestic hot water (SDHW) panels to your roof or mount them in your yard. The PV panels contain individual cells which are made of pure semiconductor grade silicon. PV cells convert the sun’s energy into DC electricity. This DC electricity is then converted to AC electricity, which then can be used in your home and/or fed back into the grid. Therefore, anytime the sun is shining you are generating clean, green electricity. The SDHW panels convert the suns conductive energy into hot water for the home. This hot water can supply some or all of your hot water needs depending on size and location. This reliable, zero-emission energy will offset your demand for fossil fuel generated power !
Wind Energy
Wind power is the fastest growing sector of renewable energy sources worldwide. Residential sized wind turbines (typically 50 kw or less) can be installed free standing in a wide range of sizes and outputs. Wind power will supply your residence with reliable, zero-emission electricity that can be fed back into the grid, stored in batteries or both. Due to the dynamic nature of wind we deal with each site on a case to case basis in order to deliver you the best product while maximizing your wind power potential.
