Mini-Splits, HERS Energy Ratings, & Insulation for Peabody, MA
Heat Loss Management specializes in helping homeowners and businesses assess the energy efficiency of their buildings, and make the right decisions to save on utilities. We accomplish this in a few ways. Here in Peabody, Massachusetts our team provides HERS Energy ratings, which includes a specific score of how a building compares to an example home. From this rating, we can provide specific project recommendations that will improve your score. This leads to better comfort, lower utility costs, and can boost your property value. For more information, please give us a call.
HERS Energy Assessments & Blower Door Testing for Peabody Properties
Here in Massachusetts, we use the HERS Energy Rating System. HERS works by creating a sample home that scores a 100. The goal is to score lower. A score of 0 represents a home that produces as much energy as it consumes, usually through solar power. Any score above 100 is less efficient than the 2006 home that is used as a reference. There are a variety of tests that go into calculating this score, including duct leakage testing, visual inspections, and blower door testing. A blower door test works by creating a pressure differential. Since differences in air pressure usually balance out, it is a great way of figuring out if there are air leaks. Any air leak that allows air to depressurize is also going to cause inefficiency when heating or cooling that building. The benefit of working with our team is that after we provide an assessment, we can help recommend the right projects that address issues with your energy efficiency.
Mini-Split HVAC System Installations in Peabody, Massachusetts
One way we can help properties improve their energy efficiency is with a mini-split HVAC system. A mini-split does not require any ductwork and keeps a property cool during the summer and warm during the winter. Mini-split systems use outdoor air to cool and heat homes year-round. They are energy efficient and provide zone-based heating and cooling, which requires less energy than other heating and cooling systems. We provide installation and repairs for mini-split systems in Peabody and the surrounding towns. For more information, please contact our team.
Blown-in Insulation Services in Peabody
Another potential solution to improve energy efficiency is blown-in insulation. Traditional batt insulation has natural gaps at the seams between separate pieces and is not always a great choice for rooms with unique geometry including attics and crawlspaces. Blown-in insulation involves spraying insulating material. This material fills gaps or cracks in existing insulation and can make a home more energy efficienct and better suited to trap warm or cold air indoors. We install cellulose, fiberglass, and rockwool insulation in homes and other properties throuhgout Peabody, and the surrounding towns.
Air Barrier Sealing in Peabody
Aeroseal Air Barrier is another effective solution. Aeroseal involves spraying particles that gather together and plug up holes or imperfections within ductwork. It can also be used alongside a blower door. In that scenario, the blower door creates a pressure differential, and as air moves to equalize the pressure, it carries the Aeroseal particles. This causes the holes and cracks to get blocked up. For more information, please reach out to our team so we can discuss our services in greater detail.
