Description

This house was very recently renovated but nonetheless leaked 50% more air than necessary.  Most of the air leakage was from the whole-house fan.  There was also a very leaky return air duct that passed through an uninsulated crawl space on its way to the heat pump.

We recommended a heat pump water heater to replace both the older gas water heater and the dehumidifier in the equipment room.

Improvements recommended: Predicted savings:
$706.00 per year
