The St. Louis Regional Home Performance with ENERGY STAR® Gains An Exciting New Member
Collinsville, IL - The St. Louis Regional Home Performance with ENERGY STAR® Program has gained a new member with an impressive ability to help homeowners save energy and money. The company, called Dr. Energy Saver®, uses a whole-home approach that results in great improvements in comfort to go along with energy savings.
The whole-home approach starts with an energy audit that considers the home as a system. Rather than improving a home’s energy efficiency by simply upgrading the heating and cooling system or the insulation, Dr. Energy Saver looks at how those individual components work together to affect both comfort and energy use.
Brian Stewart, Dr. Energy Saver General Manager says, “We often work with homeowners who have spent their hard-earned dollars to upgrade one part of their home and then failed to realize the energy savings and increased comfort they expected”.
He continues, “Sometimes people assume they can reduce their monthly utility bills by replacing their windows or by adding insulation. Sometimes they are right, sometimes they aren’t. Our goal is to eliminate the guessing by testing first, considering how one improvement affects another, then making the most cost effective set of improvements to achieve what the homeowner wants.”
Stewart says that seeing the huge improvements in comfort that result from the whole-home approach is the most exciting part.
“Oftentimes, a home with energy efficiency problems also has comfort problems such as one part of the home that is difficult to heat and cool or problems with indoor air quality. By carefully diagnosing and treating the underlying energy problems, we can often take care of the comfort symptoms as well,” said Stewart.
Home Performance with ENERGY STAR offers a comprehensive approach to home improvement, remodeling, and renovation that will make your home more efficient and reduce energy costs, while improving indoor air quality and creating a more comfortable, healthier home. At the same time, you’ll be helping to protect the environment through energy conservation.
