  1. High Performance Windows

    High-performance windows keep you comfortable no matter the season, prevent heat loss in cooler climates and reduce heat gain in warmer climates.

  2. Tight Duct System

    With conventional duct systems, often 35% of the conditioned air is lost before it arrives in each room. But a tightly sealed duct system gives you a more comfortable indoor environment, increased air quality and lower energy bills.

  3. Building Envelope Upgrades (Insulation and air flow)

    Improved insulation and air flow eliminates air leakage through improperly sealed ducts, windows and doors - problems that, in a typical home, account for 25-40% of the energy used for heating and cooling.

  4. Upgraded Heating & Cooling

    Heating or cooling a home (HVAC) can account for over 50% of a home’s total energy use. ENERGY STAR options are more efficient, quiet and longer lasting if properly maintained.

  5. Efficient Appliances & Lighting

    ENERGY STAR qualified products deliver long-lasting performance and significant energy savings. Efficient appliances and lighting reduce energy bills without sacrificing features, style or comfort.
