Replace your heating/cooling system air ducts
Older ducts are typically both not insulated and leaky. As a result, large amounts of warmth and/or coolness that your heating and/or cooling systems have worked on escapes before it gets into your home. By replacing your ducts with modern performance systems this loss can be greatly reduced, and the air you have paid so much to have heated and/or cooled will then be retained for use.

  • Why should I ask my contractor about the most energy efficient products?

  • How can energy upgrades improve the comfort and health of my home?
    No matter how efficient your heating and cooling equipment is, if your home is not properly sealed and insulated, you may not be as comfortable as you could be, and your heating and cooling systems will have to work harder. Additionally, if you have leaky or poorly insulated ductwork, your home might have humidity problems, excessive dust, or rooms that are never quite comfortable. Improving the building shell and sealing ducts can generally improve your home.
