Services
Home Energy Audit
Our comprehensive 3-hour energy audit identifies home efficiency opportunities through visual inspection and diagnostic testing. Using blower door tests and infrared cameras, we pinpoint air leaks and insulation deficiencies. The audit includes combustion safety testing and provides a prioritized improvement plan with estimated savings. Customers receive utility rebate information and financing options to implement recommended upgrades.
Attic Insulation
We upgrade attic insulation to R-49 levels while sealing air leaks that cause energy loss. Our process addresses common problem areas like recessed lighting and duct penetrations. By combining spray foam sealing with proper insulation, we reduce heat transfer and improve overall home comfort. This service helps stabilize temperatures between floors and lowers annual energy consumption.
Aeroseal Duct Sealing
This innovative technology seals HVAC duct leaks from inside the system. The process reduces air leakage by up to 90%, improving airflow to distant rooms and reducing HVAC strain. Sealed ducts enhance system efficiency, lower energy bills, and improve indoor air quality by preventing contaminant infiltration through ductwork.
HVAC Replacement
We install high-efficiency Bryant HVAC systems designed for optimal performance. Our whole-home approach considers insulation and ductwork when sizing new equipment. Upgrades include variable-speed technology for better humidity control and advanced dehumidification features. Customers receive a 10-year extended labor warranty with premium service plan subscriptions.
Crawlspace Insulation
We seal and insulate crawlspaces using closed-cell spray foam to control moisture and temperature. The process includes installing vapor barriers and addressing radon concerns. Properly treated crawlspaces reduce first-floor coldness, lower humidity levels, and prevent mold growth while improving overall home energy efficiency.

Questions
What does a Comprehensive Home Energy Audit include?
Our 2-3 hour audit includes visual inspection, blower door testing, infrared imaging, and combustion safety checks. We evaluate insulation levels, HVAC efficiency, and identify air leakage points in attics and crawlspaces.
How does Aeroseal duct sealing work?
Aerosolized sealant is introduced into ductwork, sealing leaks up to ½ inch from inside the system. This improves airflow efficiency by 90% on average and reduces energy loss through duct leaks.
Are there rebates available for home energy improvements?
Yes, we help customers access up to $10,000 in utility rebates through Maryland programs. We handle all rebate paperwork and guarantee amounts in our project proposals.
What financing options do you offer?
We provide Clean Energy Advantage financing with 0% interest for 24 months and NEIF financing with rates starting at 12.99%. Both options allow early payoff without penalties.
Do you offer HVAC maintenance plans?
Yes, we offer Basic and Premium HVAC service plans with biannual tune-ups, priority scheduling, and discounts on repairs and system replacements.
