Breach

Fixtures Allow Toxins Inside like fiberglass insulation, VOCs, formaldehyde, and chemical fumes from adhesives and solvents. This causes allergies and literally poisons your family.

Contamination Source
Single Pane-Aluminum Storm combinations seemed like the best alternative-3o years ago. Today, we know that aluminum storm windows actually increase cooling costs in the summer, while adding less than R-1 protection in winter.
No Insulation!!!
No Insulation in the Basement is common in the South, and even though heat rises, heat and AC is lost through the floor. This makes your floor cold in the winter and warm in the summer.

Residential Energy, Health & Safety Audit

Air inside modern homes is often 30 times more polluted than air outside, especially in a home with breaches in the interior finish that vent directly to the insulation and structural walls. Common breaches in the shell include electrical outlets, switches, lighting fixtures and ceiling fans.

Common problems indicative of poor indoor air quality include:
            Stuffy rooms
            Excess dust or allergens
            Drafty places
            Pet odor
Recessed Lighting

Modern lighting systems are a quantum leap ahead of "traditional" fixtures. Designer LEDs use a small fraction of the power, are perfectly dimmable, and are available in a wide variety of color temperatures, intensities, and shapes. LEDs can eliminate air infiltration because their low operating temperatures allow for sealed fixtures, longevity, elegance, and safety.
Old Window

Today, minimum code specifies double pane windows with low-e glass in North Carolina. Old windows leak and increase heating and cooling costs. Energy efficient replacement windows are eligible for tax breaks.

Old HVAC System
High efficiency heating, cooling and ventilation systems are often out of specs when they are installed, causing them to operate at a significantly lower efficiency. Many older systems were inefficient even when they were new and waste vast amounts of energy every year. Upgrading your home energy systems will make your family safer, healthier, and more comfortable while reducing energy costs.
