• This book describes all of the key energy consuming areas of your house, and what to do to make the fixes. It explains the “why”, “how”, and expected results for each project.
  • It can help you improve the air quality by reducing dust, pollen and mold from entering your home.
  • Add value to your home while reducing you utility bills. Many people now ask to see the utility cost history before buying an existing home.
  • 100% return of the up-front costs, in energy savings, can be obtained within one year. Even if you hire outside help with some of the projects, by using the existing government tax credits, you will still achieve very high returns in the first year of operation. As energy costs rise, your savings will rise as well.

Here are what my clients have to say:

“Our second floor was more than 10 degrees warmer than the first with our one zone system. After making the improvements myself that Paul Hayden recommended, our upstairs is within 2 degrees of the first floor and we have a consistent level of comfort throughout the house.”

“After completing just a few of the recommendations, our house instantly became more comfortable in both winter and summer.”

“Our energy bills are 25% to 40% less than several of our neighbors’ who have the same exact floor plan.”

“Our energy bills are lower than neighbors who have significantly smaller homes than ours.”

“Since we have made many of the improvements in 2001 recommended by Mr. Hayden, we have recovered our investment and are now putting real dollars in our pocket.”

“After installing a radiant barrier system, and fixing leaks in our forced air system, our utility bills are less than half of the houses around us. Our attic fan used to run all day and most of the night. Now, it rarely comes on. I track our energy usage every year, and send a copy to Paul. He has saved us a lot of money.”

“We are renovating a 100 year old house. The attic temperature was measured at 130 degrees when we asked Paul to be our energy consultant on the project. Within days he had reduced the temperature by 45 degrees, making it safe for the air conditioning contractor to install the ductwork and A/C unit in the attic. The entire upstairs is cooler, thanks to the radiant barrier system he installed. There are many more projects planned to make the house energy efficient.”

Making the energy cost saving improvements described in (book title), you can easily save over $10,000 in less than 10 years in an average size house. I know of a 20 year old, 3000 square foot home in Texas that is saving over $2400 per year since making the recommended energy changes. By the time we have lived in our house 5 more years, our energy cost savings will equal the purchase cost of the home.

In one chapter alone, there is a maintenance item that will save you over $500 for about a $20 investment.
