A good quality air filter on your HVAC heating/cooling system is the first line of defense against dust, dirt, and airborne allergens in your home. Watch this video to find out more.

Geothermal Heat Pumps for Energy Efficient Heating and Cooling

Geothermal heat pumps use water from wells, making them much more efficient for both heating and cooling than standard air source heat pumps. Watch this video to find out how they can reduce the energy costs in your home.

Foam Insulation Increases Energy Efficiency in Your Home

Expanding foam insulation sprayed in wall cavities and attics has a higher insulation value and seals tighter than other forms of insulation. Watch this video to see how foam insulation can save energy in your home.

Celebrating Earth Day Early

Celebrating Earth Day Early Many of you may know that right around the corner is Earth Day . . . April 22. A special day earmarked for thinking globally and acting locally in our communities for the environment. I’m excited to be able to share in the eco-friendly event, providing good tips and information about doing just some small things to have a greater impact for our planet’s future.

Improving Indoor Air Quality with Ventilation

While tighter homes save energy, they also can trap moisture and airborne contaminants like VOCs inside your home. To combat indoor air pollution, install bath and kitchen vent fans that are vented to the outside, and regularly change air filters on your heating and cooling system.

Save Energy with a Programmable Thermostat

A programmable thermostat saves energy by automatically raising and lowering the temperature of your home while you’re away. This can reduce your energy costs by up to $180 a year.

Choosing Air Filters for Your Home

It’s important to install a high quality air filter on the HVAC system in your home, since inexpensive fiberglass air filters only capture 10% to 15% of airborne particles. Look for filters that contain carbon, are electrostatically charged, or have a HEPA rating which can remove up to 99% of airborne pollutants.
