Energy Efficient Home Repairs

A1 Handyman is a skilled professional who can handle inside home repairs of all sizes. Have our professional technician complete these green improvements, so you can start saving money on heating and cooling costs.

• Insulate Attics & Crawl Spaces - The Department of Energy estimates that a properly insulated attic can shave 10 to 50 percent off your heating bill and it works the opposite way for warm climates. Simply put - proper insulation helps stabilize your homes indoor temps to keep heating and cooling needs in check.
• Put on a Water Heater Jacket - Most of the costs associated with operating a water heater is keeping the water hot. The more insulated the tank, the better the water holds onto heat so add a hot water heater jacket and save.
• Fix Plumbing Leaks - Reduce water consumption by simply repairing any plumbing leaks in faucets or pipes. A leak of one drip per second can cost about $1 per month.
• Ceiling Fans - In summer, ceiling fans create cooling breezes, which reduce the strain on air conditioners. In winter, they circulate heated air to keep the room warm.
• Programmable Thermostat - Did you know that nearly half of all utility bills go towards heating and air conditioning costs? With a programmable thermostat you won’t have to heat or cool a house that is empty. You can set separate programs for daytime and nighttime, weekdays and weekends. Install this energy savings device and trim about $180 a year from your energy bills.
• Add Lighting Controls - Room Occupancy Sensors enable lights to come one whenever motion is detected and turn off when motion ceases. Motion sensors are especially useful in bathrooms and in children’s rooms as children often forget to turn lights off after they leave a room. Save money on your electric bills by having A1 Handyman automate your home with light dimmers, timers, motion sensors, and room occupancy sensors.
