DEEP ENERGY RETROFIT

Would you like your older house to become a zero energy home? If no room or sun for solar, at least fully insured Kuenn LLC can help change your home enough to use 75-90% less energy for heating and cooling. Think about how much you’d save in a year NOT paying large bills to the utility company.

The average home built before the 1990s has an ACH (Air Changes per Hour) of 6-10. Pre 1970s about 15-20ACH. Even new homes are at 3.9ACH. Why would you want all your heated or cooled air to be leaving the house that many times per hour? Our weak codes call for NO testing. Smart states seek  25 cfm50 per square or about 3ACH.

First, 3 steps are needed.

1. Overview of house (how it is insulated) and type of heating and cooling system. Will you need new windows?

2. Review options and create contract for house retrofit. Using REMOTE  ( Residential Exterior Membrane Outside insulation TEchnique) 

3. Blower door test to see how much air leakage there is (to stop waste in heating and cooling)

4. Seal and add insulation in attic

5. Add insulation to foundation walls

6. Add insulation to house walls above ground
