To better understand the way a home operates, look at it as one big "consumer '.  A home is an independent entity that absorbs energy and releases by- product in the form of pollution. A home releases pollution through the use of electricity, which is expelled by our current form of energy providers: The Nuclear Power Plant, and The Coal Burning Power Plant.

Almost all of the homes that are built in this region are built to a standard that is not parallel with energy efficiency standards. In fact, most houses and buildings are built in a way that requires the structure to work harder to heat and cool itself.

Some of the reasons are due to lack of efficient insulation, unsealed HVAC systems with leaky duct work, leaky doors and windows, uninsulated attics and crawlspaces, black or dark roofing shingles, lack of natural shading from trees. 

There are measures you can take as a homeowner, and there are things we can help you with as professionals.    

Fortunately, most of these situations can be remedied. We can perform an Energy Audit on your home to access and treat these common problems.
