Energy Saving Solutions

Residential Energy-Saving Solutions in Orlando

We offer the latest in energy-saving solutions that will reduce your home’s energy footprint while saving money on your energy bill.

Reflect the Heat with Radiant Barrier

Your attic is like an oven, heated by the sun. Our Radiant Barrier solution reflects up to 78.5% of the sun’s heat from your roof, keeping the attic’s temperature down which keeps your a/c from running as often. This not only increases the lifespan of your a/c unit, but decreases your energy costs by up to 14%!

“Green” Attic Insulation

Did you know that 65% of American homes lack proper insulation levels? Having proper insulation levels not only reduce energy consumption by up to 20% but make your home a more comfortable place.* Our premium loose fill fiber glass insulation can be installed over existing insulation and contains up to 40% recycled glass.

Ventilation

Why ventilate? Ventilation is a critical component of a roof, providing a continuous supply of air through the attic space to fight heat and moisture. Without proper ventilation your attic could exceed 150 degrees, causing damage to shingles, roof sheathing and possibly radiate down to your living space. Not only that, but the accompanying moisture may cause rot, mildew, paint blisters and destruction of your insulation. Proper ventilation will reduce your energy bills and eliminates mold and mildew which can lead to major health problems. It will also extend the life of your other roof components, such as your shingles.
