Inside the House

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.

By stopping drafts at their source, you’ll stay warmer at lower thermostat settings, use less energy and reduce your utility bills.

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

An electric air source heat pump can be a cost-effective alternative to electric resistance heat that’s used in furnaces, baseboard heaters and wall units.

These home projects could add up to big savings on your power bill!
