HOMETOWN’S ENERGY EFFICIENCY HOME MAKEOVER

Tired of being uncomfortable? Tired of high energy costs?

Professional Installation of Energy Saving Insulation, Replacement Windows and Air Conditioners in Pensacola and Fort Walton Beach, Florida. 

According to EPA Administrator Lisa P. Jackson, “Features like properly installed insulation, high-performance windows and high efficiency heating and cooling can reduce home energy needs by 20 to 30 percent, saving American families thousands of dollars on their utility bills."

Hometown knows how important Energy Efficiency is to homeowners. The average household spends more than $2,200 a year on energy bills. Making your home more energy efficient can help reduce high energy bills, improve comfort, increase resale value and until Dec. 31, 2010 get homeowners up to a $1,500 Tax Credit on select home improvements.

High Energy Bills
One reason for high energy bills is an increase in the price of electricity or heating fuel. However, it is common to trace high energy bills to an in-efficient component (windows, heating and cooling equipment, insulation) of your home or a failure of one of these components to perform as intended. It is not always easy to pin-point the problem, but fixing it can save you thousands of dollars.

Hometown understands homeowners are concerned about high energy bills and that there are thousands of homes along the Gulf Coast that are over 10-12 years old.  In order to meet the needs of these homeowners we have developed the Hometown Energy Efficiency Home Makeover.  Guaranteed to lower energy bills and make your home energy efficient, the Hometown Energy Efficiency Makeover consists of installing custom made energy efficient windows, installing a highly efficient air conditioner and adding attic insulation to your home.  

TIRED OF HIGH ENERGY BILLS?
If your home is 10-12 years or older and you have the original windows, insulation and air conditioner, chances are you are literally paying through the roof and losing money out your windows.  You owe it to yourself to schedule a Free Energy Savings Assessment of your home.  This 10 point assessment is designed to identify easy, money saving improvements that will save you thousands in energy costs over the life of your home.

At Hometown Contractors, we want to build long-term relationships with our customers.  Therefore, it is important for us to educate and advise our customers about the most important home improvements that will save money and make your home comfortable year round. 

Adding Insulation

Insulation keeps your home warm in the winter and cool in the summer. There are several common types of insulation — fiberglass (in both batt and blown forms), cellulose, rigid foam board, and spray foam. When correctly installed, each type of insulation can deliver comfort and lower energy bills during the hottest and coldest times of the year.

Insulation performance is measured by R-value — its ability to resist heat flow. Higher R-values mean more insulating power. Different R-values are recommended for walls and ceilings.

To get the biggest savings, the easiest place to add insulation is usually in the attic. A quick way to see if you need more insulation is to look across your uncovered attic floor. If your insulation is level with or below the attic floor joists, you probably need to add more insulation. The recommended insulation level for most attics is R-38 (or about 12–15 inches, depending on the insulation type).

Benefits of Properly Installed Insulation

  1. Enhanced Comfort.  Properly installed insulation minimizes temperature variability indoors and helps keeps rooms warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer. 
  2. Lower Utility Bills.  As much as half of the energy used in your home goes to heating and cooling.  By preventing heat loss in the winter and heat gain in the summer, a properly installed insulation barrier reduces utility bills year round.
  3. Improved Durability.  When insulation is properly installed, the potential for condensation that can lead to the decay of building materials is reduced, helping to improve the durability of your home. 
  4. Better Resale Position.  The improved comfort, lower utility bills and improved durability of a properly installed insulation barrier can translate into higher resale value compared to less efficient homes.
