When it comes to making your house energy efficient many homeowners are faced with a confusing array of choices. Window installers tell you that buying their windows will save you the most on energy costs. Insulation contractors tell you that you need more insulation. Heating and air conditioning installers will tell you that an upgraded HVAC system is the best way to reach your money saving goal. On top of that confusion there is an array of rebates and tax credits that complicate the decision.
We believe that the first step in making important decisions is to consult an expert. We provide to you a no-charge, no obligation home energy assessment that evaluates your options and gives you a plan that you can implement either all at once or in a phased approach, as your budget allows.
Our bottom line philosophy is that we see every house as an individual system. Only by addressing the whole house can one achieve the most «bang for the buck» when it comes to reducing your energy costs.
History
Established in 2009.
Energy Barrier is unlike mass insulation which only slows down or resists heat transfer. Energy Barrier reflects heat. Heat always goes cold by natural law-the problem is how to keep the heat in in the winter and how to keep it out in the summer. There are three ways in which heat goes from warm spaces to cold spaces: Conduction is direct heat flow through a solid object such as a wall or a ceiling. Convection is heat movement through air, occurring when air is warmed. The warm expands, becoming less dense and rising. Radiation is the movement of heat rays across air spaces from one warm object to a cooler object. The heat we feel from a wood stove or a quartz space heater is radiant heat. All objects and bodies give off radiant heat. Even the insulation in your attic gives off radiant heat to the cold attic space in the winter, and to the living space in the summer. Regular insulation won’t stop radiant heat loss. Radiant heat must be REFLECTED with a Energy Barrier.
