The gas bills in this large Victorian home were approaching $1000/month in cold weather! We had previously sealed and insulated the house, which delivered big savings to the homeowners. But now it was time to tackle the old, inefficient boiler in the basement. The piping was a nightmare, as you can see in the before pictures. And despite the number of pipes, some rooms had no heat at all. We straightened the piping out, added some radiators in cold rooms, and replaced the boiler with a 95% efficient Bosch Greenstar that also produces domestic hot water. The homeowner is so proud of his heating system, he brings everyone who visits his home down to see the “mechanical poetry."
With a decades old boiler and outdated hot water heater, this owner's system was unreliable and cost a fortune to operate.
Finding a more efficient way to heat their home and provide hot water, a Bosch Greenstar Combi System was installed to provide 95% efficient heating and water heating. A "combi" unit is an innovative and space-saving solution providing heat and hot water in one insulated unit.

Our client called during a super hot summer. Uncomfortable in their home, they were also uncomfortable with the high energy bills they were paying year round.
We tackled their problem by air sealing the attic to prevent their cool, conditioned air from leaking into the attic. 9 inches of TruSoft Cellulose Insulation was added on top of the existing fiberglass insulation. With a high R-Value (the capacity of an insulating material to resist heat flow), TruSoft keeps their ceiling temperatures cool in the summer and cozy warm in the winter.
