Alber Service Company Before & After Photos

This water heater replacement helped the client gain needed floor space in the basement. It also replaced a 54% efficient tank-type water heater with a 95% efficient Bradford-White tankless water heater. Endless hot water for almost 50% less operating cost. Brilliant decision!

The furnace in this old house had run for 42-years! That's a remarkably long life for a furnace. It was a Trane furnace manufactured by American Standard in 1983. And while it had led a long and productive life, it had also wasted thousands of dollars gas because it was only 60% efficient. That's not good.

The client elected to replace it with another American Standard furnace but his one is 97% efficient. It has two other great features: it is a two-stage furnace and it has a variable speed blower. Two-stage means it can deliver 100% or 50% of its output depending on how cold it is outside. For 75% of the winter it will run at 50% and deliver nearly constant, gentle heat that really improves winter comfort. The variable speed blower uses 66% less electricity than the old furnace. That saves money n the summer as well as the winter since the blower is also used to deliver air conditioning.

You'll notice we turned the furnace 90% so it doesn't face the wall. Regular maintenance will be much easier now. And it's placed on plastic feet to lift it up off the concrete floor so the bottom doesn't rust. Attention to detail matters! We try to think of everything when proposing a new system.

This client had a central air conditioning system that was more than 20-years old. It had developed a Freon leak. Since R-22 Freon is so expensive (it can no longer be manufactured or imported) they opted to replace the system.

The new system includes an American Standard (Trane) 15.6 SEER2 outdoor condensing unit connected to a super efficient American Standard air handler in the attic. This system qualified for an HVAC Instant Rebate from PSE&G. It also qualified for 0% financing for 7-years thru PSE&G. the client did not need to pay us anything upfront. PSE&G added the monthly cost of the 0% financing to their PSE&G energy bill. Super easy!

This high efficiency central air conditioning system will reduce the cost to cool this house by over 50%. It comes with a 12-year compressor warranty and a 10-year warranty on all other parts and labor. Our trained technician used digital instrument to set the system up to run exactly at the manufacturer's specifications.

This old house needed a new furnace badly. The chimney had collapsed and the inefficient furnace couldn't operate safely without it. Plus, the second floor was always hot in the summer because the blower in the furnace couldn't deliver proper air flow. The solution was an American Standard two-stage variable speed furnace. It is 97% efficient so it saves a boatload of money in the winter. And the blower uses 70% less electricity than the old blower while delivering adequate air flow for second floor cooling. It qualified the homeowner for rebates and 0% financing from his local utility. It also qualifies for a 2025 Federal Tax Credit of $600. Alber Service Company works with all utility incentive programs so it's easy to say, "YES", when we present you with the solution to your problems!

Hot, hot, hot! That's the only way to describe the second floor in this house during the summer. The homeowner had already spent money with another contractor to improve the hot second floor with new heating and air conditioning. But it didn't work! Her attic air sealing and insulation were atrocious. Lots of hot attic air was infiltrating into the second floor. And the heat from the attic was going right thru her tiny amount of insulation.

Alber Service Company removed the old insulation, air sealed all wall tops and penetrations from ducts, wires, plumbing, and recessed lights. We then built an insulated storage deck so she could bring efficiency and order to her off season Christmas storage. Finally, we blew 18-in of R-60 cellulose insulation onto her attic. You can see the retention dams on the storage deck that hold all that insulation back.

And guess what? Her second floor is now the same temperature as her first floor! It's not magic. it's science. And Alber Service Company has the perfect combination of highly trained Certified Energy Consultants to diagnose your problems and highly trained Field Teams to properly implement the measures prescribed.
