That simply means we combine super-efficient, state-of-the-art air conditioning, furnace, heat pump, mini-split, and geothermal systems with energy improvements like duct repair, insulation, solar shading, and air infiltration as needed in order to make your building both comfortable and cost-efficient. The solutions we offer are fully customized to meet your home or building’s specific needs, and our estimates are at no cost to you.
Windows alone can account for about 50% of the heat inside a building.
While walls have an insulation value of 11-13, and attics are usually rated 19-38, windows have only a 1 or 2 rating. When sunlight passes through a window, this light is converted to heat, which is then trapped inside the building. Think about your car sitting in the summer sun. Its indoor temperatures will rise dramatically over time because of this process, more commonly known as the greenhouse effect.
