Rooms that are too hot or too cold and high energy bills are all common issues for homeowners. Installing a new heating or air conditioning system, buying replacement windows, or adding more insulation may fix part of the problem. But the way to better results is through an integrated “whole-house” approach that looks at your house as a system including the central air conditioning system(s). A blower door test of the home will reveal all of the leaking areas in the home.
Most of the time there is no one thing that will correct poor indoor air quality. So rather than focusing on a single component such as single-paned windows; an old air conditioning system; leaky ductwork; leaking wall cavities in the attic; instead we will assess how improvements to all of these components can work together to provide higher indoor air quality.

This is achieved by improving:
- Fewer Drafts
- Consistent Temperatures Across Rooms
- Better Ventilation And Humidity Control
- Lower your Utility Bills
- Reduce heat loss through the glass and also reduce air leakage.
By increasing house performance it saves energy and makes the home more comfortable. However, your furnace or water heater may be using air that leaks through your old windows. There is no way to know whether the new windows will affect your furnace, fireplaces or water heater without testing before and after installing the new windows.
Sealing leaky return ducts in your attic and wall cavity will save energy and will reduce the amount of dust coming into your home from the attic. When you seal those air duct and ceiling plate leaks in the attic, more air will be pulled through your return filter grill allowing for cleaner indoor air.
