1) Solar Attic Fan
Saving energy in your home must start at the top. As warm air rises, it collects in the attic, making your entire house hotter and your air conditioning less efficient. This costs you valuable dollars and unnecessary wear and tear on your cooling equipment.
The Power-Save Solar Attic fan removes hot air from the attic, keeping your home cooler while maximizing your air conditioner's efficience. The solar powered fan draws no electricity from the utility and will cost you nothing to operate.
- Optional Thermostat
- Same-Day Installation
- 5/10/25 Year Warranty

2) Power-Save Duct Seal System
Duct sealing is a combination of Power-Save Radiant Barrier and Power-Save Duct Seal.Leaky ducts can reduce heating and cooking system efficiency by as much as 20 percent. Sealing and insulating ducts increases efficiency, lowers your energy bills and can often pay for itself in energy saving.
Plus, if you're planning to install new heating and cooling equipment, a well-designed and sealed duct system may allow you to downsize to a smaller, less costly heating and cooling system that will provide better dehumidification
1)Tape all seams in duct work.
2) Wrap all duct work with radiant barrier.
3) use same tape to attach radiant barrier to duct work and seal all seams.

3) Radiant Barriers
Radiant barriers are installed in homes (most commonly in attics) to reduce summer heat gain and winter heat loss (which helps lower heating and cooling cost). The barriers consist of a highly reflective material that reflects radiant heat rather than absorbing it.
How Heat Barriers Work:
Heat travels from a warm area to a cool area by a combination of conduction, convection and radiation. Heat flows by conduction from a hotter material to a colder material when the twow materials touch. heat transfer by convection occurs when a liquid or gas is heated, becomes less dense, and rises. Radiant heat travels in a straight line away from the hot surface and heats anything solid as the wave of energy hits it.
When the sun heats a roof, it's primarily the sun's radiant energy that makes the roof hot. a large portion of this heat travels by conduction through the roofing materials to the attic side of the roof. The hot roof material then radiates it's gained heat energy into the cooler attic (some of the roof's heat will radiate in other directions too). A radiant barrier reduces the radiant heat transfer from the attic space.
- Fiberglass reinforced (perforated) aluminum foil insulation.
- Reflects %95 of radiation heat.
- Perforated aluminum foil radiant barrier eliminates sweat.
- Use for attics, ceiling joist or rafters.
- No discoloration resistance.
- excellent resistance to water, water vapor, oxidation and weathering.
