Radiant barrier insulation is so effective in reducing energy bills in the summer because it works by reflecting the heat from the sun, resulting in increased performance of the structure's existing insulation. Essentially, installing radiant barrier is like putting your house "in the shade." A radiant barrier is a type of building product that reflects thermal radiation and reduces heat transfer. Since thermal energy is also transferred via conduction and convection, radiant barriers are often supplemented with thermal insulation products that slow down heat transfer via conduction or convection.

Spray polyurethane foam insulation is the only true air barrier on the market, outperforming every other traditional insulation product available. However, it performs well below expectations if an incorrect spray foam product is used or if the spray foam is improperly installed. This is why Diversified Energy is willing to take the time to understand the science of your specific structure, and we always adhere to industry best-practice recommendations. Spray foam is a chemical product created by two materials, isocyanate and polyol resin, which react when mixed with each other and expand up to 30-60 times its liquid volume after it is sprayed in place.

When properly applied to the recommended thickness and specifications, blown-in and batt fiberglass insulation will last the lifetime of your home, providing you with savings, comfort, and energy efficiency. DE uses Johns Manfield Attic Protector, a premium blown-in fiberglass insulation with a sound barrier, to cover attics and hard-to-reach areas such as corners, edges, and around framing. To ensure the integrity of this product's performance, it is recommended that only qualified contractors install fiberglass insulation.

It's this intrusion of outside air that carries extreme temperatures, moisture, and pollutants into your home-all of which causes high utility bills, structural damage, and even health problems. Diversified Energy uses field-proven Applegate Stabilized Cellulose Insulation, a premium building material renowned for its low-dust properties and BurnBarrier fire retardant. Cellulose insulation qualifies for many electric utility rebate programs. Diversified Energy is an active participating contractor of the Energy Smart Program of New Orleans, the Entergy Solutions Program of Entergy Louisiana/Gulf states, Mississippi Power's Energy Checkup, and the Cleco Residential Energy Solutions Program.

HVAC duct cleaning can significantly improve the indoor air quality [IAQ] of your home by removing the dust, dirt, mold and mildew that have built up in your duct-work over the years.

Installing spray polyurethane foam insulation is not something just anyone can do. Achieving proper foam depth, and proper coverage is a skill that takes years to master. Installing spray foam properly is more of an artform, and our professional installers are the master artists. Diversified energy employs only proven, code-required techniques. We customize spray polyurethane foam insulation packages for residential and commercial wall & attic applications. Diversified Energy installs Applegate Stabilized Cellulose Insulation in attics, interior and exterior walls.

Countless studies prove that a duct leakage test is one of the most crucial aspects in determining the energy efficiency, energy costs, moisture problems, and health and safety concerns in the home. Our goal is to reduce duct leakage as much as possible. Unfortunately, a recent study by a highly respected national laboratory found that a 25% loss of efficiency due to ductwork issues is typical. The reason sealing leaky ducts is such a priority for us across the Gulf South is simple. Due to pressure imbalances, the amount of conditioned air that is leaking out of a building's ducts will inevitably be replaced by the intrusion of the same amount of extreme (hot/humid) outside air.

Diversified Energy can give you cleaner, fresher air in your home. Our processes help eliminate impurities that can cause allergic reactions, breathing difficulties, infections, and disease. We take a whole-system approach to improving your indoor air quality. In addition to professional duct cleaning, our services can include testing and sealing your duct-work, and testing and air sealing around your home to eliminate areas where dust, dirt, moisture, and pollen can get into your home, and lead to mold growth.

Our integrated comfort solutions are based on your home's building science. We carefully analyze and propose measures to optimize a home's comfort and performance.

Plus, if your local electric utility, state or local government has incentives for improving a home's energy efficiency, we will custom-tailor our energy efficiency improvement solutions to maximize the available rebates or incentives paid back to the client.

Proper whole house air sealing helps ensure proper function of your cooling and heating equipment, reduces drafts, helps reduce dust, and improves the overall energy efficiency of your home. Our experienced technicians will run a blower door test to measure the overall air leakage, and to pinpoint the areas where air is infiltrating the home [around windows, doors, plumbing and electrical penetrations, etc.]. Our team will then quickly and efficiently seal all these problem areas. Reducing the amount of air that leaks in and out of your home is a cost-effective way to cut heating and cooling costs, improve durability, increase comfort, and create a healthier indoor environment.
