A home insulated by EcoLogical Insulation helps to eliminate air infiltration and exfiltration.  Air infiltration and exfiltration costs homeowners in the US over$13 BILLION per year!! 

1.    Seal Leaking Ductwork

20% of the utility bill in a typical home can be attributed to duct leakage.  Check your ductwork for leaks, and seal with mastic.  This is a simple and inexpensive way to save energy and money every month. Leaky ductwork also leads to increased air infiltration into your home because of pressure differentials that leaky ductwork creates.  

2.    Service Your Heating and Cooling Equipment

An annual tune up on your HVAC equipment can pay for itself with reduced annual operating costs.  Your system runs most efficiently when it is properly charged with the proper amount of refrigerant and is clean.  Think of it just like a tune up for your car!


3.    Replace your Light Bulbs

Compact flourscent light bulbs provide high quality light, last up to ten times longer that incandescent bulbs, and use 25% less energy.  Now that’s a bright idea!

4.    Buy appliances and electronics that bear the Energy Star Label. 

5.    Get a programmable thermosat and use it.
