Common Problems
From Efficiency to Comfort & Beyond…
We offer cost-effective solutions to common house problems.
Why do some houses feel too cold despite high heating costs?
Why does the same house that’s cold in the winter feel too hot in the summer?
Why does turning up the air conditioning raise the electricity bill without raising the comfort level in the house?
Do some rooms in the house feel comfortable but there is one room that seems too hot or too cold (commonly a bedroom or bathroom), no matter what the thermostat is set to?
Why is the floor cold in the den?
Why does a cold draft come rolling down the steps from the second floor?
Why does my salary get transferred so readily to Laclede Gas and AmerenUE?
When people think about energy efficiency, they often think about saving money or saving the planet, but did you know that the same factors that cause energy inefficiencies may also contribute to comfort problems?
It is a bonus that the same testing and improvements that make your home more energy efficient will usually make it more comfortable.
Some customers engage Home Green Home specifically for the purpose of fixing comfort problems and are delighted to see their energy bills decrease as an unintended benefit.
Other people call us not because they are uncomfortable or are paying high utility bills, but because they feel sick. Sometimes indoor air quality is worse than outdoor air quality. When people with asthma or allergies cough or wheeze more inside, it may be a sign that there is something wrong with the house. Other people just feel sick inside but have no other respiratory problems; this “sick house syndrome” is a result of a house actually making otherwise healthy people sick.
The good news is that the causes of these problems can be found and fixed.
The best way to address comfort, energy efficiency, and health concerns is to learn how a house works as a system in order to help the system perform at its best.
