Available Programs for Residential Homes
Insulation Services
Proper insulation is the foundation of an energy-efficient home. We install high-quality blown-in cellulose, spray foam, or batt insulation in attics, walls, basements, and rim joists to prevent heat loss and keep your home comfortable year-round. Benefits include reduced energy waste, fewer drafts, and long-term savings.
Air Sealing Services
Air leaks can account for up to 30% of energy loss. Our team uses advanced blower door testing to identify leaks, then seals gaps around windows, doors, electrical outlets, and more. This creates a tighter building envelope, improving comfort and efficiency.
Indoor Air Quality Solutions
Poor ventilation and leaks can trap pollutants and moisture. We provide ventilation upgrades, duct sealing, and air filtration measures to enhance indoor air quality, reduce allergens, and address health/safety issues like carbon monoxide risks.
Heat Pump Water Heater Installation
Upgrade to an ENERGY STAR® certified heat pump water heater for efficient, electric hot water. These systems use ambient air to heat water, cutting energy use by up to 60% compared to traditional models—perfect for electrification and rebate stacking.
