This manufactured home in Syracuse, NY was suffering from air leaks, poor insulation, and an inefficient heating system. Combined, these issues were taking a big bite out of the homeowners budget. After receiving her no cost home energy assessment from Halco, this customer was qualified to make improvements to her home through available energy saving programs. Halco air sealed the home, insulated the underbelly, and installed this high efficiency furnace at no cost to the customer!
Because the crawl space of this Syracuse, NY home was poorly insulated with visibly falling fiberglass insulation, the space was a major source of air infiltration and heat loss. Halco technicians insulated the crawl space walls with closed-cell spray foam and also installed a CleanSpace vapor barrier to the ground. This newly sealed and insulated crawl space will improve indoor air quality by preventing mold, mildew and moisture problems, and will make the home more comfortable and energy efficient!
This Oswego, NY customer decided to go solar to offset her electricity usage from the local utility provider. As designed, this 4.86 kW solar electric system should generate 5,085 kwh per year. This corresponds to a CO2 emissions savings of 6,102 lbs. per year (the equivalent to CO2 emissions from 3,766 pounds of coal burned)! The energy produced by this system is equivalent to 107% of the customer's current base load usage!
This Oswego, NY customer was income-eligible for both New York State's EmPower and Assisted Home Performance Programs. These programs assist homeowners with making energy-efficient upgrades to their homes at little to no-cost. In addition to this new water heater, the customer also had a new, high-efficiency furnace installed.
Witness the remarkable before and after of an Oswego, NY resident's home with the installation of an efficient air source heat pump by Halco. We also insulated this customer’s home so she can say goodbye to drafts and fluctuating temperatures, and embrace a cozy haven with sustainable, year-round comfort.
