Why We’re Better: Safety and Comfort
When you insulate your home with Energy Stars Heating & Cooling Co, you’re not only getting comfort, but you’re also getting peace of mind about what is going on in your home.
Before we start any project, we perform different safety tests to keep your family safe:
Blower Door Testing
Our home comfort specialists perform this test to help determine how much ventilation your home should have. Ventilation is an important part of home safety because without it, excess moisture can build up in your home. Excess moisture can cause mold in your home which can lead to coughing, runny noses, or more serious issues in people with other health issues.
Combustion Safety Testing
A combustion safety test makes sure all combustion appliances (like your furnace, water heater, and gas stove, or boiler) are working safely and not leaking gas. Our specialized tools detect gases like carbon monoxide in parts per million so we will inform you immediately if there are gas leaks in the home. Carbon monoxide kills over 400 people a year. Since carbon monoxide is colorless, odorless, and tasteless, it can only detected with proper equipment or a carbon monoxide detector. We carry mobile testing equipment so we can find these leaks and keep your family safe.
Why Your Home Needs Insulation:
A High Efficiency Furnace or Air Conditioner Isn’t Always Enough…
You can have the most high efficiency furnace or air conditioner in your home, but if they are operating in an under insulated home, you are still losing money.
Energy Stars Heating & Cooling Co is more than an average heating and cooling company; we are home comfort professionals. We make sure to attack the issue of home comfort and safety on all fronts by performing gas testing, determining what size equipment your home needs, and looking at your home’s current insulation.
The right equipment along with the right insulation will make your house feel like your own paradise.
Most homes in the Metro East area were not built with proper insulation levels. Even newer home building projects regularly do not have enough insulation to cut corners.
Insulation effectiveness is measured in R-value. The average R-value in homes in this area is R19. Energy Stars Heating & Cooling Co installs insulation to R49 in every project. We do this because R49 is the recommended Energy Star insulation level for our region.
Insulation has many benefits.
With the right insulation levels, you will save money on your energy bills. You won’t have to run your AC or furnace constantly to stay comfortable. This will help keep your bill stay moderate especially during weather extremes.
Proper insulation also helps create a sound barrier. With densely packed walls, sound will have a more difficult time traveling from one room to another. Insulation also controls humidity and can help improve air quality.
If your home has any of these signs, it is time to call Energy Stars Heating & Cooling Co for a Home Insulation Assessment at 618-477-8337.
