Insulation 101
Homeowners are always looking for inexpensive ways they can improve their home’s comfort. While not an aesthetic upgrade, adding or upgrading the insulation to your attic and walls is one of the smartest improvements you can make. This is an improvement that can literally pay for itself by stabilizing the temperature in your home and preventing energy loss from warm or cool air that escapes your home. This ensure that your HVAC system doesn’t have to work as hard, which saves you money.

Solar plus Storage
When you install a solar battery as part of your home solar energy system, you can actually store the extra energy your solar panels produce at home instead of feeding it back into the grid. With solar batteries, you maximize your ability to use the electricity generated by your solar panels on a day-to-day basis.
During the times when you need more electricity than your solar panels are producing (later in the day or at nighttime), you can use the solar energy you have stored.Many electric utilities are changing their rate structures in ways that make solar batteries a smart investment for homeowners.
Many local utility companies have announced the roll out of Time-Of-Use rates for January 2018. The per-kWh rate that you pay for electricity will change depending on the time of day. Electricity will cost more during “peak hours” when demand for electricity is high, typically in the late afternoon and evening. Electricity rates are lower during the daytime when home electricity use is lower and solar panels are at their most productive.
Under the new TOU rates, you can benefit from home energy storage by using electricity from your solar batteries during peak hours when utility electricity rates are at their highest.

Weatherproofing
While insulation is a must in maintaining a comfortable living space, if your home is drafty, you lose the effectiveness of your insulation. Weatherproofing seals your building envelope and allows you to maximize the benefits of your home being well insulated.
