Heating and Cooling

Heating and cooling account for about half the energy used in a typical home, so it’s a great place to use less energy. When used wisely, your thermostat can help reduce wasted energy. 

The ground beneath us has incredible benefits. In fact, you can also harness the power of the earth to heat and cool your home renewably and efficiently.

Better energy efficiency at home starts with savings, not sales, and an energy audit conducted by a trained energy advisor can help you get there.

You pay for the amount of energy used, as well as when it's used.

Most homes have some insulation in the attic, but often there’s not enough – especially if yours is an older home. Figure out how much you need for maximum energy savings.

Before the work starts, have a discussion with your contractor about your expectations for energy efficiency and a quality finished project. 

Spring has sprung, and it's time to start thinking about renovations to your home that will improve aesthetics, usability and overall energy efficiency. 

The more energy efficient your heating system is, the lower your utility bills will be.

Traditional energy-saving techniques don’t take advantage of a growing trend in our lives: electronics, appliances and other devices that communicate to save energy. 

Mini-split ductless heat pumps can heat efficiently, and they’re an economical and energy efficient replacement for window air-conditioning units.
