How Contractors Can Help You Save Energy
Take the guesswork out of your next home improvement project.
Contractors can help you:
- Replace drafty doors and windows. You'll reduce energy consumption for years to come, plus increase the value and beauty of your home.
- Check insulation levels in your walls, ceiling or attic. Call an insulation contractor to find out how to optimize heat flow both into and out of your home.
- Seal air ducts to prevent heat loss. A qualified contractor will inspect your system, perform pressurization tests and complete any repairs necessary.
- Install energy efficient furnaces and water heaters. We offer rebates to help offset the cost of new energy-efficiency equipment.*
- Choose an energy-efficient refrigerator or freezer if yours is over 10 years old. The new unit can cost you considerably less to operate than the old.
- Install energy-efficient windows. Double-pane windows with low-e coating can reduce your heating bills substantially in cold climates.
