The cool summer mornings are welcomed as thoughts of sweaters and fuzzy socks are still romantic, not a prelude to winter.  With children back to school, college kids descending, and windows closing at night.  Fall is practically here. Home heating fuel prices will remain manageable this heating season, according to the experts, who gather that Continue reading

This project is a fine example of how utility incentives can go toward projects that achieve 'deep energy savings'. By doing it right-the-first time and being detail oriented, the energy and comfort performance results are much greater.

"This winter after Cozy Home air sealed and insulated the 2 back closets, finishing off most of what needed sealing and insulating in my home, I had no ice dams, and I use to always have ice dams on the back sides of those 2 closets. Well done, as always, and thank you."

Destructive ice damming is a symptom of a flaw in the building's insulation boundary. It is wise to plan on properly fixing the root causes of ice damming, instead of employing 'band aid' fixes year after year. A proper attic solution will give piece of mind, and keep you cozier and energy bills under control.

In heating-dominated climates, 40% or more of the air you breathe in your home originated in your crawl space. Improving dank crawlspaces is a clear way to benefit house IAQ (indoor air quality), comfort, and energy efficiency, yet it is surprising that many homeowners aren't in the know.

Mass 2020 Clean Energy Plan: "deep energy improvements, which substantially improve building energy performance, should be encouraged in a way they are not in the existing program structure."

We are grateful to be working in a State and region where an often forgotten sector can be supported by utility companies. Cozy Home gears up for its first project for the new Low Income Multi-Family retrofit program.

Fortunately in Massachusetts we have lots to do to maximize existing Mass Save program opportunities and continue to build our Commercial/Institutional services- a very promising market.
