A crawlspace has to well-designed, in good condition and not contributing to any discomfort, added cost or energy waste

- Comfort
- Minimize uncomfortable drafts
- Block noise and fights moisture
- Watch out for un-insulated, leaky or poorly-installed crawlspace wall insulation
- Pipes will not freeze of well insulated and not exposed (especially in unheated areas)

Efficient clothes washers
Well insulated ducts
Leakage of heat into the attic, escaping through the roof
Melting snow and ice – forming dams and causing roof-leaks

Well-sealed ducts improve the flow and temperature of the air delivered to rooms and adds comfort year-round.

Other checklist items for you to pay close attention to as you go about thinking about conserving energy, cutting consumption, boosting efficiencies and saving money and resources, include:

- Boiler Pipe Insulation
- Efficient LPG-fired Water Heaters
- Efficient Oil-fired Water Heaters
- Electric Water Heaters
- Floor Insulation
- Gas Furnaces
- Gas Water Heater
- Heat Pumps
- LPG Furnaces
- Oil Furnaces
- Programmable Thermostats
- Refrigerators
- Replacing Your Electric Furnace and CAC with a Heat Pump
- Room Air Conditioners
- Sealing Home Air Leaks
- Upgraded Wall Insulation
- Windows

Your approach to making your homemore energy and cost efficient, should start with the right attitude and aptitude, knowledge, know how, what to look for, how to find and identify it and then act and do the RIGHT THINGS RIGHT THE FIRST TIME!

In short… when you want to conserve and save energy and dollars as a home-owner, while making the home more efficient *especially if it is a much older home, renovated (recently or not), even new, still off-plan or in progress… YOU WANT TO MAKE THE RIGHT DECISIONS THAT COUNT AND MAKE ALL THE DIFFERENCE IN THE WORLD.

Here are some reality, process and progress checks for you to ask and answer to YOURSELF as you set out or continue on your efficiency quest for your home and hearth!

- You will have the desire and motivation
- A rough idea and concept of what to do
- Need and incentive (saving and conservation of energy and dollars, added efficiency and comfort)
- Ideas, recommendations of getting it into place, capitalizing and optimizing it to your advantage
- A PLAN TO GET IT DONE and sustain the savings!
