Energy Efficient HVAC Upgrades
Upgrade your comfort system to save money and reduce your environmental impact. Modern, energy-efficient solutions for every budget.
If your energy bills keep climbing while your home never feels quite comfortable, you're not alone. Most houses in the Kirkland area weren't built with today's energy costs in mind, and they're literally leaking your money away every month.
What We're Finding in Local Homes
After hundreds of energy assessments around here, we see the same issues over and over:
Older homes with practically no insulation in attics and walls
Leaky ductwork losing 20-30% of heated or cooled air before it reaches your rooms
Outdated furnaces and heat pumps operating at 60-70% efficiency when newer models hit 95%+
Drafty windows and doors creating constant cold spots
Crawl spaces and attics with moisture issues that defeat insulation effectiveness
The good news? These problems are fixable, and the payoff is both immediate comfort and long-term savings.
Smart Upgrades That Actually Pay Off
Not all energy upgrades are created equal. We focus on the ones with the fastest payback and biggest impact. Attic insulation typically pays for itself in 2-3 years and makes an immediate difference in comfort. Sealing and insulating ductwork often reduces heating/cooling costs by 20%. Modern heat pumps can cut electric heating bills in half compared to older electric systems. High-efficiency furnaces typically save 15-30% on gas bills while providing more consistent heat.
For a 1970s rambler, proper attic insulation and air sealing might cost $2,000+ but save $500-$700 annually - that's money in your pocket every year after the payback period.
Getting Money Back
We keep up with all the current rebates and incentives from utilities and government programs. Right now, there are substantial rebates available for heat pumps, insulation upgrades, and high-efficiency furnaces. We handle the paperwork to make sure you get every dollar you're entitled to.
Our Assessment Process
We don't guess at what your home needs. Our energy assessment looks at:
Current insulation levels throughout your home
Air leakage rates using specialized testing
Efficiency and condition of heating/cooling equipment
Ductwork design and leakage
Problem areas like cold spots or rooms that never get comfortable
From there, we create a prioritized plan focusing on changes that give you the biggest bang for your buck.
Beyond the Savings
While lower bills are great, our customers tell us the real difference is in comfort - no more cold spots, even temperatures throughout the house, and quieter operation of their systems. Plus, you're reducing your carbon footprint without changing your lifestyle.
