5 Ways to Improve Energy Efficiency, Comfort and Home Value

Improve indoor air quality

As you tighten up your home’s envelope, make adjustments to keep indoor air clean and healthy. Choose VOC-free finishes, floor coverings and project materials, and get a vacuum equipped with a powerful HEPA filter. Ensure that all vents are in working order so that moisture and odors can properly exhaust, and consider adding a whole-house air cleaner to your existing HVAC system.
