Discover the exact same energy saving techniques that I used in my wife's new home.  All from the comfort of your living room!

 

Do you want to save money on your heating and cooling costs?  

Perhaps you've been wasting hundreds of dollars per year on high utility bills and don't understand why. 

Why sacrifice comfort for lower utility bills? Isn't it time you took control of your utility bills?

With my proven techniques, you will discover how to save energy and money while doing your part to save the environment.  No matter what kind of home you have or plan to have, this information applies to you.  Learn why your utility bills are so high and find out precisely what you can do to lower them. 

Fact: In the typical residential home in the U.S., the ductwork is located in the attic.  Where is the ductwork in your home?  More than likely it's in the attic also. 

Did you know you can lower your heating and cooling load by 20% just by getting the ductwork out of the attic?

The most extreme temperatures in your home are in the attic during the summer and winter.  Common sense should tell you that the one place you definitely would not want your ductwork is in the ATTIC.  So why do HVAC contractors still install ductwork in the attic when it costs you hundreds of dollars in unnecessary energy consumption?
Answer:  Because it's easy, and that's how they've always done it.

 

 More Than Half Of Your Utility Bill
Is For Heating and Cooling Costs

Natural gas rates continue to rise and show no sign of stopping.  In some states, natural gas prices have increased by as much as 25%!  You will save a lot of money once you know.....

  • how to get FREE hot water from a geothermal heat pump system.

  • precisely what to tell the builder of your new home, such as what type of insulation to use, the most cost-effective and energy efficient heating and cooling system, and the most efficient water heater.

  • how a simple $10 investment can save you $2 a month for the rest of your life.

  • you can buy most of these products at your local hardware store.

  • how a $10 improvement to seal leaky duct could possibly save $30 per month.

  • why 90% of homes in America have the least energy-efficient heating and cooling system allowed by law.

  • how to effectively use radiant barrier insulation to save at least $20 per month.  

With this knowledge, you'll know exactly how home energy conservation can save hundreds and possibly thousands of dollars a year in utility costs. Just as important, you’ll have the satisfaction of knowing how to lower your utility bills and EXACTLY what to tell your contractor when building your new home. 

YOU can be in charge of how much you pay in utility bills.

In case you've forgotten, it's not the contractor's home, 
it's YOURS, and YOU have to pay the bills. 

 

Reduce Your Utility Costs By Up To 40%

When you combine your mortgage payments, utility bills, and other maintenance costs, your housing expenses total thousands of dollars a year. Envision saving $200 a month ($2,400 a year). Invest those savings or pay off outstanding bills, purchase your dream car, or take a luxury cruise. I guarantee you that my principles will lower your utility bills once I teach you...

how to stop essentially all outside air infiltration and make your home more comfortable.
how to downsize your heating and cooling system on your new home by up to 20%.  This can save you hundreds if not thousands of dollars.
how well planned placement of your water heater can save you money AND water each and every month.
how to have a blower-door test energy audit on your home.

Solar Energy Basics - Sunlight - solar energy - can be used to generate electricity, provide hot water, and to heat, cool, and light buildings. Photovoltaic (solar cell) systems convert sunlight directly into electricity. Solar water heating systems for buildings have two main parts: a solar collector and a storage tank.

Solar Water Heating - One of the most cost effective ways to incorporate renewable technologies into a building is by incorporating solar hot water. A typical system will reduce the need for conventional water heating by about two-thirds, minimizing the expense of electricity or fossil fuel to heat the water and reducing the associated environmental impacts.

  • Active Systems

  • Passive Systems

  • Swimming Pools

Solar Heating Basics - It is easy to see and feel the power of the sun as it warms and lights the Earth. Today, we are able to harness to power of the sun in numerous ways, including using it for water heating, space heating, and space cooling in buildings.

Improving the Efficiency of Your Duct System - One of the most important systems in your home, though it's hidden beneath your feet and over your head, may be wasting a lot of your energy dollars. Your home's duct system, a branching network of tubes in the walls, floors, and ceilings, carries the air from your home's furnace and central air conditioner to each room.  Unfortunately, many duct systems are poorly insulated or not insulated properly.

P.P.S.  Would you like a written guarantee that you will save money on your heating, cooling, and hot water bills on your new house?  Simply send me your plans, and for an Internet special of 13 cents per square foot (normally 15 cents), I will size your heating and cooling system and give you a written guarantee that your heating and cooling costs will not exceed a guaranteed average per month if you build your house exactly as I instruct you to.  You will save $40 off my usual consultant fee for a 2,000-square-foot house.  You can easily make the money back in the first month from lowered utility bills. I have sized systems for hundreds of customers and never had a single complaint.   Ninety percent of homes in America today have oversized heating and cooling systems.  This results in higher utility bills, higher initial costs, humidity problems, and decreased equipment life.  If you have any questions, contact me at 501-653-7931 8:00-4:30 M-F (CST). 

 P.P.P.S.  If still aren't convinced that you will at least make back your $37 investment with my techniques, I am going to give you one of the following energy saving tips from my VHS/DVD.

Existing Homes: 
 The only place that most water heaters are not insulated is on the bottom.  Every day of the year you are heating your floor.  Your floor doesn't need heating.  Install a 1" piece of foam insulation board under your electric water heater.  While you're at it, install a water-heater wrap and save even more money each month.  Both of these combined cost $10 to $15 and save you $2 to $3 every month.  In a worst-case scenario it will take you seven months to recoup your costs, and thereafter this energy improvement MAKES you money every month. Adding this little bit of insulation is something EVERYONE can and should do. 


New Homes: 
Where is the hottest place in your house in the summer? 
Answer: The attic.  Where I live, the attics are about 120F degrees in the summer.
Where is the coldest place in you house in the winter? 
Answer:  The attic. 
Where is the one place you should NEVER put your ductwork? 
Answer: The attic. 
Where is the ductwork put in most of the new house construction? 
Answer:  You guessed it.  The attic. 
Your front yard is cooler in summer and warmer in winter than your attic! Why not put it in your front yard?  It’s cooler out there.  Let me show you where to put your ductwork that will save you money in energy bills every month.
