COMMON QUESTIONS

Frequently Ask Questions

What upgrades have the biggest impact in manufactured homes?

Windows/doors, subfloor/wall/roof insulation, duct sealing, and thorough air-sealing usually deliver the most savings and comfort. 

For older homes, the best cost‑to‑impact upgrades are insulation improvements, air sealing, LED lighting, and smart thermostats. These upgrades reduce drafts, stabilize indoor temperatures, and improve the performance of existing HVAC systems without requiring large‑scale remodeling.

By adhering to DOE/NREL Standard Work Specifications, which define minimum acceptable outcomes for home energy upgrades. We back this with a 1-Year Workmanship Warranty and provide a booklet of manufacturer warranties.

Yes—buyers increasingly look for homes with lower operating costs and improved comfort. Upgrades like high-performance windows, added insulation, and efficient HVAC systems can boost property value and marketability. In many cases, energy-efficient improvements also help homes qualify for green certifications or better appraisal scores. 

Energy loss typically occurs through attic and wall insulation, windows, doors, crawlspaces, and air leaks around the building envelope. A home performance assessment—or basic inspection by a qualified contractor—can identify these issues and determine which upgrades will make the biggest impact.

Yes. Improvements like insulation, air sealing, efficient lighting, and upgraded windows significantly reduce heating and cooling demands. Over time, these upgrades pay for themselves through monthly energy savings and reduced strain on mechanical systems.

Most efficiency upgrades are long‑term improvements. Insulation and air sealing can last decades, while high‑quality windows and doors often last 20–30 years or more. LED lighting typically lasts 10–20 years depending on usage.

Commercial buildings require a broader approach, including HVAC optimization, high‑efficiency lighting, updated building envelope sealing, occupancy‑based lighting controls, and sometimes ventilation upgrades. The goal is to reduce operating costs, extend equipment life, and meet modern building standards.

Insulation reduces heat transfer, while air sealing stops unwanted airflow through cracks, gaps, and joints. Both are essential for improving comfort and energy performance. Air sealing is often the first step because it prevents conditioned air from escaping before insulation is installed.

Most homeowners and business owners notice improvements immediately—especially in temperature consistency and reduced drafts. Utility bill savings typically become visible within the first 1–2 billing cycles, depending on the upgrade and season.
