GEOTHERMAL HEATING AND COOLING
Groundsource heat pumps are one of the most efficient methods for heating and cooling your home. While the air around us cools and heats up rapidly depending on the weather, the earth maintains a steady temperature. We can use that stability to heat our homes in winter, and cool them in summer - offering as much as 70% efficiency improvements over traditional HVAC. Better yet, government subsidies can currently save you as much as 30% on the cost of installation.

ENERGY AUDITS AND DIAGNOSTICS
To improve the performance of a home, first you have to understand it. And because homes are a complex system of interelated features - both structural and mechanical - it makes sense to implement a thorough energy audit before investing in costly home improvement measures. The same goes for fixing specific problems - like moisture or indoor air quality issues - the obvious fixes are not always the effective ones. Our team of building scientists can help map out a cost efficient and above all effective path to improving your home.
