Overview Air sealing is one of the most cost-effective steps you can take to increase comfort and reduce energy consumption and utility bills. Air sealing refers to blocking leaks in a home or business that allow conditioned air (inside air) out and unconditioned (outside air) in. The more this is controlled, the less energy it…

Electric air-source heat pumps are an energy-efficient way to heat and cool homes and businesses in moderate climates. Air-source heat pumps use electricity to move heat from a cool space to a warm space, making the cool space cooler and the warm space warmer. Because they move heat rather than generate heat, heat pumps can…

Solar panels collect sunlight and turn it into electricity, providing on-site energy generation and a renewable alternative to fossil fuels. They can be roof- or ground-mounted at homes, businesses, and at solar farms. Unlike fossil fuels, the panels produce no pollutants or emissions while generating electricity. By generating energy at your home or business, solar…

Geothermal heat pumps, also called ground-source heat pumps are a type of highly-efficient heating and air conditioning (HVAC) system. Geothermal heat pumps take advantage of the earth’s fairly constant and consistent temperature. The earth’s temperature is generally warmer than the air during the winter, and cooler than the air during the summer. In Western North…
