We are strong believers in energy efficient upgrades to save homeowners money. During the residential construction boom years ago houses were being built and bought at a staggering pace. Energy costs were low and no one paid much attention to the quality of the house they were purchasing. Now years later home values have dropped and and energy prices are at record highs. What many homeowners don't seem to know is that they do not have to tear down their house and start over to make it energy efficient and put money back in their pocket. There are many improvements that can be made at moderate costs that will save significant heating and cooling costs. We are happy to consult with homeowners to determine possible areas where a small improvements can have big rewards. We are also more than willing to discuss the rewards of deep energy retrofits for those homeowners who plan on staying in their homes for several years to come and who can appreciate significant ROI's or Returns on Investments. New Homes and Additions can also benefit from energy conscious construction methods. Simple things like caulking or insulating the sill plates of a frame can deter significant air leakage and heat loss. Exterior or interior rigid foam can not only increase your homes R Value but can also reduce thermal bridging or heat loss through the actual frame of your home. These energy conscious upgrades do not need to come at a premium cost and all home owners should know the options.
