Equipment sized for a leaky house
A heat pump sized before the house is sealed ends up too big and costs more to buy and run. We audit and seal first, then size the system with a room by room load calculation.
Insulation and energy efficiency · Licensed & insured
Insulation, air sealing, energy audits and whole-home upgrade packages with heat pumps. Each service below shows what it usually costs and how long it takes, and every job is tested before and after, so you see the result in numbers, not promises.
Text us a photo from the attic hatch or your last winter bill, and a licensed supervisor replies within 5 minutes during business hours.
Why energy upgrades disappoint
Homeowners are sold windows or a new system first because those are the biggest tickets. The savings come mostly from the cheaper work that should have come first: sealing and insulating.
A heat pump sized before the house is sealed ends up too big and costs more to buy and run. We audit and seal first, then size the system with a room by room load calculation.
Windows cost the most per dollar saved. Air sealing and attic insulation cost the least. Our plan ranks every upgrade by payback so your first dollars do the most work.
Sealing without ventilation can trap moisture and fumes. We test gas appliances for safe venting and add fan controls or an ERV when the numbers show a need.
Energy services we deliver
Start with the service nearest to your problem. The two main pages carry price tiers, materials, common findings and a schedule; the smaller jobs below are quoted inside the same written plan.
Attic, wall and crawl space insulation in cellulose, fiberglass or spray foam, sealed for air leaks first and priced by R-value.
An energy audit first, then a ranked package of sealing, insulation, windows and heat pumps, with rebates checked for your address.
Blower door test, infrared scan and bill review, with every upgrade ranked by payback for your house.
Priced inside your energy estimate, no separate page yet.
Gaps at the attic floor, rim joists, chimney and plumbing chases sealed with foam, caulk and flashing.
Priced inside your energy estimate, no separate page yet.
An efficient electric water heater that uses a third to half the power of a standard tank.

Not sure which one you need
People describe energy problems by how the house feels: cold floors, a hot upstairs, a huge oil bill. Pick the line that matches yours and the supervisor confirms it during the audit.
Ask a supervisor which one fits| If you want to | Start with |
|---|---|
| Find out where your house loses energy before spending | Home energy audit |
| Stop drafts and cold floors at a low cost | Air sealing |
| Warm up cold rooms, stop ice dams or insulate empty walls | Home insulation |
| Replace an old furnace or get off oil with a heat pump | Energy efficient home upgrades |
| Cut the cost of hot water | Heat pump water heater |
Energy costs at a glance
Typical totals for a 1,500 to 2,500 square foot house before utility rebates. The written plan lists the same lines, adds the rebates you qualify for and shows the net price.
| Service | Typical range | Typical time |
|---|---|---|
| Home insulation | $2.5k–$30k | 1 to 5 days |
| Energy efficient home upgrades | $3k–$90k | 1 day to 6 weeks |
| Home energy audit | $300–$600 | 2 to 3 hours |
| Air sealing | $1,000–$3,500 | One working day |
| Heat pump water heater | $3,000–$5,500 | One working day |
Totals shown include labor, materials and testing and exclude rebates; after the audit or visit the written estimate replaces each range with one fixed number.

How an energy project runs
Four steps whether the job is one day in the attic or a full package ending with a heat pump commissioning.
Step 01
On-site visit, scope review, honest repair-or-replace opinion. No pressure, no decision needed that day.
Step 02
Itemized quote with Good, Better and Best options, a declared contingency and a dated schedule.
Step 03
We pull permits, schedule inspections and send you a room-by-room prep checklist.
Step 04
Daily updates, clean site every evening, final walkthrough and a written warranty in your hand.
Written into every contract
The approved price is the final price. Change orders only with your written approval.
A credit for every working day of delay we cause. Weather and inspections excepted, in writing.
Dust barriers, floor protection and a clean-up before we leave. Your home stays livable.
A text or email every working day with photos and tomorrow's plan, or the day is free.
Workmanship warranty in writing, transferable to the next owner, backed by a fixed address.
A small deposit, then you pay only for work that is already completed, inspected and photographed.
Other energy work we quote
Duct sealing, weatherstripping, radiant barriers and ventilation fixes are carried out by the crews already at your house and added as lines to your energy plan.
Energy questions
Not always for a simple attic top-up, where a look in the attic is enough. For walls, crawl spaces or any heating and cooling decision, yes: the blower door test shows where the leaks are and proves the result afterward. The fee is credited when you go ahead.
Insulate and seal first when your current system still works, because a tighter house needs a smaller, cheaper heat pump. If the furnace or air conditioner is failing, equipment may need to come first, and we plan the sealing right after.
Home insulation covers the attic, walls and crawl space with air sealing. An energy upgrade package starts with an audit and can add windows, a heat pump, a heat pump water heater and ventilation, ranked by payback.
Air sealing and attic insulation, often within a few years. Heat pump water heaters come next in many houses. Heat pumps and windows cost more, so they pay back over longer periods unless the old equipment needs replacing anyway.
Often. State utility rebate programs commonly help with audits, insulation, air sealing, heat pumps and heat pump water heaters. We list the programs your address qualifies for and help with the paperwork, without promising what a program will approve.
Climate zones set different insulation targets, rebate programs differ state by state and so do wages. The ranges here are national typicals; your plan is priced for your address, your climate zone and the rebates you actually qualify for.
Energy crews near you
Energy work is done by nearby crews licensed in the state your house is in, built to the insulation targets of your climate zone. Every state license number is published.
