Making Your Home Green

Air leakage, or infiltration, occurs when outside air enters a house uncontrollably through cracks and openings. Properly sealing such cracks and openings in your home can significantly reduce heating and cooling costs, improve building durability, and create a healthier indoor environment.

You can reduce your home’s heating and cooling costs through proper insulation and air sealing techniques. These techniques will also make your home more comfortable.

There are lots of different insulation materials, including organic, fibrous, reflective, and mineral, and in many forms, such as loose fill, spray and rigid foam, blankets and batts, each of which has its uses and its pros and cons.

Getting the right size air conditioner makes a huge difference in your home’s energy efficiency.
