When was the last time you weatherized your home?

Why It Matters

Your HVAC system uses a lot of energy to keep your home cool in the hot summer and warm in the frigid winter. Weatherizing your home reduces the amount of energy spent by your HVAC, which, in turn, reduces your energy bills.

How do you currently heat your home?

Why It Matters

If you’re using oil or gas, you’re likely spending more money on your energy bill than is necessary. A heat pump can save you $1,000 on your yearly energy bills while also significantly reducing the pollution produced by your HVAC system.

How often do you adjust your AC during the summer?

Why It Matters

The closer your thermostat is to the outside temperature, the more money you’ll save on heating and cooling. During the hottest months, though, it can be hard to resist turning the temperature down throughout the day.
