Plan Review and Energy Analysis for Homeowners, Architects, and Builders
Ideal Energy not only offers diagnostic testing services and recommendations, but also solutions to your home’s inefficiencies. Below are some of the main retrofit services we offer.
Air Sealing
Minimizing the amount of air leaks in your home is a key step to energy efficiency and a comfortable home. With the help of a blower door, and a thermograph scanner we can isolate your home’s major leaks, allowing us to know exactly where the most effective points to seal are.
Duct Sealing and Repairs
Duct sealing can save you anywhere from 15%-40% on your utility bills per year, depending on how leaky your ducts are. Sealing your ducts can help general comfort issues, like hot and cold rooms, improve indoor air quality, save you money, and help protect the environment.
Light Replacement
Home lighting plays an important role in our everyday lives and can impact our health, safety, and mood as we go about our daily routine. Ideal Energy evaluates your current lighting efficiencies and usages, and recommends ways to make lighting your home the most efficient way possible. From there, you can either implement our recommendations yourself, or we can do it for you.
Fan ReplacementA working bathroom fan is absolutely necessary to remove moisture and to prevent mold buildup. We offer fan replacement services to make it easier for you to achieve the ultimate healthy home and comfort levels.
Programmable ThermostatAccording to the U.S. Department of Energy, you can save 10% on your heating and cooling bills every year just by lowering your thermostat 10°-15° for 8 hours a day. A programmable thermostat allows you to decide what hours your heating and cooling system will be running, or if it will even be running at all (when you are at work). Ideal Energy can install and show you how to operate a programmable thermostat to help save money and live more efficiently.
InsulationInsulation that is installed properly and to the right amount can save significant amounts of energy and make your home more comfortable to live in. Ideal Energy works with insulation installers that know how to get the job done accurately and honestly.
