Energy Costs through the Roof?

Author: berskine - Posted on December 29th, 2009 1 Comment

It’s truer than you know, A large portion of a homes energy loss is through the roof. Most of our homes could use another foot of Insulation, But who wants to drag that dirty , itchy fiberglass stuff through the house to add it to the attic

Now there is a better way to cut your energy bill without the hassle of fiberglass insulation. eShield is the latest innovation in thermal transfer technology  used by NASA. A space suit can be 310 degreesF on the side facing the sun and -290 degreesF on the opposite side. But a flexible radiant barrier laminated into the fabric allows the space suit to reflect the searing heat of the sun and retain the body’s warmth on the dark side. Your home is like a space suit. It should keep heat in when the weather is cold – and keep it out when the weather is hot. eShield is made of the same radiant barrier technology used by NASA in space.

Department of Energy tests show that eShield attic energy barrier can deliver more energy savings than twelve inches of additional fiberglass insulation. Better yet eShield radiant barrier is thin, clean, and lacks all of the bad habits of fiberglass. It can produce dramatic results in your attic, and keep your heating and cooling dollars from going through the roof.

The warm tempretures we have enjoyed all fall have spoiled us. Of course a lot of you have been anxious to test out your new home improvements. Whenever you get something new you want to try it out and for our customers who have installed solid core vinyl siding and vinyl replacement windows, theres nothing like a cold windy day.You made a wise choice that will pay dividend at tax time and every month on utilities.

 

Of course we can’t blame you if you want to brag a little to friends. After all you have reduced your energy savings by 20% with your solid core vinyl siding. You could ask them if they want your old paintbrushes because you don’t need them anymore. Tell them that your home is so warm and quiet that you just don’t notice the cold wind anymore with your new vinyl replacement windows.

 

We would love to hear what your friends think of your home improvements. Please post a comment below here on our Blog.
