We look beyond the insulation and evaluate the entire building envelope/thermal boundary controls: air-moisture-insulation barriers. Our whole-systems approach and trained technicians will solve the root causes of envelope failures and meticulously design/install new assemblies for long term exceptional performance.

Establishing a continuous air barrier through targeted air sealing is the most crucial and cost-effective way to reduce energy waste. More energy is lost through air leakage than any other means. Mitigating through gaps and cracks in the thermal boundary is integral to a healthy and comfortable indoor environment. Air sealing is an absolute and primary control barrier for establishing a high performance thermal boundary.

John Ferriter, in construction in the Valley for 45 years
I’m happy that the incentive was more than anticipated (As a Home Performance Contractor with Mass Save Cozy Home secured $2,760 in project incentive funds.). I enjoyed working with you and your crew. Everyone was pleasant to deal with. They were professional and courteous and when I had questions, the answers were in a non-technical response so I could understand. Each day they left the area clean.

Someone from the utility company was here today to inspect the work resulting from their incentive. They were very positive both about the quality of the recommendation, and the quality of the work. I am pleased too. I’m almost looking forward to next winter to see the difference.
Phil, Northampton, MA
The house definitely feels different – hard to explain the feeling, maybe more solid? Anyway, we have checked out all the work areas that we could and are really impressed. We can already feel the difference in some rooms – even with the warmer weather! Thanks to all the guys who were at the house. They were all very polite and pleasant and seem to have done an awesome job!
