More Than Energy Efficiency
- Year Round Comfort - By air sealing and adding insulation your home's attic floor, exterior walls and floors you are able to eliminate heat loss and cold irritating drafts in the winter. In the summer you will enjoy cooler rooms and at the same time use your air conditioning system less - saving you money on your electric bill.
- Comfortable Relative Humidity Levels - Air sealing your house will minimize dry air issues such as itchy cracking skin, operating expensive to purchase and operate humidfyers in the winter. And, minimize ugly odors and the the need for dehumifyers in the summer. Controlling the relative humidity by air sealing and installing mechanical ventilation systems keeps your home healthy and safe year round.
- Safe Combustion Appliance Zones - If you have combustion appliances such as a furnace, boiler, clothes dryer, oven or stove, we will make sure your appliances have proper make up air to provide clean, safe and efficient operation of your appliances.
- Less Maintenance and Costly Repairs - Controlling moisture minimizes costly repairs such as painting, dry wall cracks, rot and decay repairs due to high moisture content in building materials. Plus if your home thermal envelope is efficient your heating and air conditioning system will work less minimizing repairs.
- Elimination of Ugly Odors - High humidity levels and damp areas in homes can lead to excessive dust mites, dust, off gassing of VOCs such as formaldahyde in furniture, cabinetry and other building materials in your home. High humidity levels and air leakage can lead to moisture damage such as rot, mold and mildew which gives off deadly odors.
- Less Dust - Excessive dust is a sign of poorly sealed duct work or a leaky home. Air sealing your home and duct work will minimize outside dust and dirt from entering your home. Minimize the need to dust and chase after dust bunnies in your home.
- Dry Basements - Enjoy a dry basement year round by controlling air movement and moisture. Build the family or recreation room in your basement with out worrying about mold and ugly odors.
- Peace and Quiet - Insulation can block outside noises from entering your home an minimize noise pollution. Installing weather stripping not only keeps outside air in your home, it also keeps outside noise out of your home. Properly installing replacement windows and doors can also keep loud noises from your home.
- Elimination of Ice Dams and Icycles - An attic cavity that is air sealed, poorly insulated and contains leaky duct work is a primary cause for ice dams, water leaks in the spring and dangerous and damaging icycles in the winter. By air sealing your attic and duct work and installing recommended insulation levels you will eliminate ice dams and ice damage to your home.
- Smaller HVAC, Air Conditioning and Solar Systems - When it is time to replace or install a new heating, air conditioning or solar space heater, your home will require a smaller unit if the thermal envelope has been improved.
- Healthy Quality Indoor Air To Breath - Poor indoor air quality can be attributed to poor moisture control, VOCs, and inadequate mechanical exhaust systems in most homes. By controlling moisture with mechanical exhaust ventilation systems, your home's air will be healthier and safer. Uncontrolled moisture can lead to dust mites and the build up of allergens in a home. Often the air inside a building is more polluted than the air out door. Exhausting stale polluted air is key to a healthy and energy efficient home. Irvin Haddad and Associates always recommends properly sized exhaust systems for bathrooms and kitchens.
- Lower Energy Bills - Lower energy bills are always a bonus to everyone. After we deliver comfort, quality indoor air, less maintenance, peace and quiet to your home, sit back and relax that you are paying less to be comfortable year round. In fact we guarantee 40% over all energy use if you follow the recommendations in your plan of action from your level II energy audit.
- Even Temperatures - Cold air coming into or going out of your house, especially through leaks hidden in the attic and basement, can cause rooms to feel drafty and uncomfortable. Missing or misapplied insulation leads to temperature differences inside homes as well. Duct work not properly balanced or improper air flows in your home can attribute to uneven temperature. After air sealing, insulation and duct work air sealing and balancing you will experience enhanced comfort with more even heat through out your home.
- Quality Indoor Air - Controlling moisture is completed by installing mechanical exhaust systems, vapor and bulk moisture control systems. Pets, plants, bathing, cooking and other activities produce indoor air "pollution". People need to breath and house need to dry. We install systems to control your home's relative humidity and exhaust stale air.
- Less Maintenance - Peeling Paint, cracked mortar at lintels, expensive replacement of windows and doors can all be minimized by controlling moisture flows inside and outside of your home. During the assessment we identify the source of the moisture and provide remedial and long lasting repairs to your home.
