Local Knowledge About Energy Retrofitting

Does your house feel as energy hungry as this one? If so, you're ready for energy retrofitting. Energy retrofitting means making energy improvements to a home after it has been built. This is the most common form or energy improvement since very few homes were built to the highest possible level of energy efficiency. Nearly every home can be retrofitted with thermal envelope improvements, heating system improvements and upgrades, ultra high-efficiency appliances, and other energy saving devices. A careful do-it-yourself or professional analysis of your home will reveal these opportunities. Energy related retrofits can also pay for themselves with avoided energy costs while increasing the value and comfort of your home.
