Do you have a room you just can’t keep WARM? Don’t spend your money on new windows, more insulation, or a new HVAC system you may not need -- without knowing the facts. There may be a better solution to bring comfort and warmth back into your home. In general we find that air flow into the room is insufficient. It may be caused by a poor duct design, leaky ducts, poor insulation or cold air moving into the room from places like top plates, electrical outlets and switches. e When you consider energy efficiency upgrades, the intelligent way to set priorities and predict results, is to begin with a comprehensive Home Energy Assessment, performed by a trained and BPI certified professional. Armed with the assessment results you will be able to evaluate alternatives and make informed decisions…

Discover the facts and find out which solution is best for your home.
