Free Webinar: Home Energy Series for Homeowners: Home Comfort, November 7, 4-6 pm PT
Event Description
You want to save money, but it doesn’t mean you have to sacrifice comfort. This webinar will dive into the enclosures and major systems that are affecting your home’s energy usage. This way, you can save money without turning into a puddle of sweat in the summer.
You want to know…Why does your home get so hot in the summer? Should you add insulation, or upgrade your air conditioning first? Does a tank-less water heater save a lot of energy? This session will help you understand what upgrades make the biggest difference, and how to prioritize them when making investments in your home. You’ll learn from an objective professional how to prioritize your upgrades to ensure you receive the biggest bang for your buck in energy savings and improved home comfort.
This session will leave you empowered to create a high-performance home. Specific lessons include:
- Discuss the building envelope and how to improve it
- Provide best practices for heating and cooling system efficiency
- Complete an overview of the remaining key home performance elements
I would go into people’s homes, crawl around their attics, remove low-efficiency materials and equipment, seal leaks, upgrade windows, replace ducts, add insulation, upgrade heating + cooling systems, and install solar energy and battery systems. And the results were insane. People couldn’t believe their homes were at a comfortable temperature all year round, and their energy bills were the best they’ve ever looked.
But I knew I wanted to do more than crawl around hot, dirty attics. I wanted to change the way every single homeowner views their home’s energy usage. I wanted people to see the opportunities I saw. So after participated in various rebate and advocacy programs I developed a great relationship local utilities, and started teaching courses on home energy upgrades. It’s taken off as people just love feeling empowered with knowledge for where they spend most of their time. We welcome you to any upcoming courses so you too can become the expert of your home’s energy."
