Before and after of an electrical upgrade in Springwater, NY. We upgraded this customer's 100-amp service to a 200-amp service before installing their new ductless mini-split system!
This 4.14 kW solar electric system was installed in Avon, NY. The system was installed as a roof mounted array of 18 SunPower solar modules oriented South on the customer's barn. As designed, the system should generate 4,808 kWh per year, which is equivalent to 101% of the customer's current base load usage. The energy produced corresponds to a CO2 emissions savings of 6,250 lbs. per year!
After receiving a free home energy audit from Halco, this Painted Post, NY customer realized there was a significant amount of air infiltration in his basement. By insulating the basement walls with 2" of spray foam, we were able to bring this lower level of the home into the building envelope and make the home more comfortable and energy efficient. Unlike fiberglass, spray foam performs well in high-moisture environments, like a basement.
This drafty old farm house in Naples, NY had major moisture problems in the basement. The fiberglass on the basement ceiling had visible condensation on it. The basement was musty, moldy, drafty, dark, and very damp. We put down a vapor barrier on the basement and crawl space floors and sprayed 2" closed cell foam to the rim joist and walls. We also installed a SaniDry Energy Star rated dehumidifier that will remove up to 109 pints of water per day! All of this resulted in a drier, more comfortable, and more energy efficient home.
This Naples, NY customer previously had a pellet stove and wall space heaters, which resulted in uneven heating. Halco technicians installed a Duel Fuel Hybrid heating system with a 96% efficient propane furnace and an air source heat pump. In addition to the heating work, we also installed central air so this customer can stay comfortable in the home no matter what the season!
