Homes with Gas Furnaces need love too!

Jim Clarke • October 22, 2017

We get wrapped up in searching for homes with Electric Heat because the Energy Solutions Rebates are bigger. Recently we joined the NEXTDOOR App and have been recommended by so many customers that we are starting to see more Customers who have a gas furnace. Most of these homes are older, have badly degraded insulation, leaky duct work and many have the always troublesome “Wall Return”!(Wall returns are potentially the worst energy robbing feature of your home)

Winter is coming fast and now is the time to take the necessary measures to avoid a high gas bill. Weatherization is real and we are the best at making sure your home is ready for the cold days and nights ahead. I’m posting a couple of before and after videos of a very nice 40 year old Baton Rouge home. Notice the visibility of the ceiling joists before we insulate.

In the above video the AC System(which incorporates a gas furnace) has been sealed but we haven’t yet installed blown insulation. In the next video the attic will be fully weatherized including insulation , air sealing and duct sealing. We have also added an attic tent. This client noticed and immediate increase in airflow from the AC unit, much shorter AC cycling, lower humidity and a much more comfortable environment.

We increased the insulation from about R4 to R38, making this home like a ice chest. These people gave us a great recommendation on the NEXTDOOR App which allowed others with similar homes in the area to get a heads up on the potential energy efficiency shortcomings of their homes. There is no reason to waste money on high utility bills if the issues are reasonably correctable. Please give us a call, I will be happy to come out and perform an inspection of your home at No Charge and make recommendations.

OMG! Wall Returns Are Costing You Money and Comfort!

By Jim Clarke • January 8, 2019

Home Buyers! Do “Home Inspections” give you all of the info you need?

By Jim Clarke • March 6, 2018

Home Inspections performed before purchasing new homes are very smart moves. Home Inspectors are, for the most part, very well trained, licensed and perform thorough inspections. They can find things that may cost you $1000s if left undetected before the purchase. That being said, there are some areas that are not included in Home Inspections

What is a Blower Door test?

By Jim Clarke • June 16, 2017

This is a question that we frequently receive, as well as a topic in which we discuss with customers on nearly every job we do. When we visit a home and begin to determine what their specific energy reduction needs might be, a Blower Door test is one of the most powerful and revealing tools which we utilize. As our primary goal is turning your home into an efficient “ice chest,” we need to apply the same principles as ice chest incorporates. One thing that’s obvious about an ice chest is that the lid has to be kept shut to keep the ice from melting. The same concept applies for your home. We need to keep indoor and outdoor air separated. There are many little gaps and cracks, over here and hidden through there, which allow outside air to enter the house, or Building Envelope to be exact.

By Jim Clarke • May 4, 2017

We visit nearly 20 homes per week in the Greater Baton Rouge area. 95% of those homes have insulation that is inadequate for the climate we live in. Entergy recommends insulating your home to R30 or greater. With blown in fiberglass, that’s 11 1/2 inches deep. Look in your attic, if you can see ceiling joists,

Focus on properly sealing your Return, Lower Energy Costs and Extend the Life of your System

By Jim Clarke • April 19, 2017

AC Return, Ac Return, AC Return! I can’t stress it enough. If you have a wall return in your home, chances are its getting a large percentage of the return air from your attic. Our pros look at AC efficiency differently from an HVAC company. We include the return in all of our testing and
