As a complete insulation and air barrier, Icynene minimizes air leakage in the building structure, which allows for HVAC equipment rightsizing. This saves dramatically on initial equipment costs and ongoing utility costs – Icynene can save up to 50% every month in energy costs versus traditional energy options.

Tankless Water Heater – You don’t use hot water 24 hours a day, but, you’re paying to heat water all day long. With a standard water heater, you heat and reheat the same water…even when you’re sleeping. Using the latest in gas technology, a tankless water heater heats water on-demand and delivers an endless supply of hot water for as long as you need it, offering personalized control for your convenience, comfort and safety. According to “www.foreverhotwater.com”, residents of North Carolina have wasted in excess of $233 million since July 2006 by not using tankless water heaters. Also, 25% of every American household energy dollar is spent producing domestic hot water. Click onto the logo to go directly to the “Rinnai-Tankless Water Heaters” website to learn more.
