FAQ


Q: What causes my floors to be so cold?
A: Cold floors can be caused by many different factors, but the most common is infiltration that is allowing cold air to find it's way to the subfloor level, resulting in cold floors.
Q: How do you fix cold floors?
A: Fixing cold floors is a matter of finding what is causing the cold and preventing this cause from making the floors cold.  Sometimes we seal and insulate with a two part foam, other times we will dense pack insulate the area below the floor (like a bedroom over a garage), and other times we will make the area under the floor a warmer area (like a floor over a crawl space). 
Q: The airflow in my son's room seems to be low, what is causing this? 
A: Air flow is a complex entity. It evolves from the science of fluid dynamics and thermodynamics.  Poor airflow can be a result of improperly sized equipment (most commonly too big), improper duct sizing (most commonly too small), duct leakage, broken ductwork, obstructions in ductwork, no ductork, and well you get the picture.  Usually it is a combination of many of these factors that contribute to poor airflow.
Q: What is the one thing I can do to make the biggest impact in my energy bills?
A: It really depends on your specific problems, for instance, if you had a house that was missing a picture window and had an old heating system, replacing the hole in the wall would make the biggest impact.  On the other hand, replacing your older heating and cooling equipment will often result in lowering your energy bills, but, won't have as much total impact as replacing your equipment along with air sealing and insulating your home.
