Home Energy Audit
Our comprehensive energy audit identifies efficiency opportunities through visual inspections and diagnostic testing. Using blower door tests and infrared cameras, we pinpoint air leaks and insulation gaps while evaluating HVAC performance. The audit includes a detailed report with prioritized recommendations, cost estimates, and available rebates to help homeowners make informed decisions about energy improvements.
Attic Insulation
We upgrade attic insulation to R-49 levels using spray foam and cellulose materials while sealing air leaks. Our process addresses common problem areas like recessed lighting and duct penetrations to create an effective thermal barrier. This reduces energy loss, improves temperature consistency, and lowers utility bills by preventing conditioned air from escaping.
Crawl Space Insulation
Our crawl space solutions combine closed-cell spray foam and reinforced vapor barriers to control moisture and prevent heat loss. By sealing foundation walls and installing ventilation systems, we eliminate cold floors, reduce humidity, and prevent mold growth while improving overall home energy efficiency.
HVAC Replacement
We install high-efficiency Bryant HVAC systems designed for each home's specific needs. Our whole-home approach considers insulation levels and ductwork performance to determine optimal system sizing. Upgrades include variable-speed technology for improved comfort, dedicated dehumidification, and up to 40% energy savings compared to older equipment.
Aeroseal Duct Sealing
This patented technology seals duct leaks from the inside without wall demolition. By injecting adhesive particles that bond to metal seams, we restore proper airflow, reduce energy waste, and improve indoor air quality while maintaining HVAC system efficiency and extending equipment lifespan.
