Steve Samaha knew that energy efficiency measures could help reduce air leaking from his 1966 ranch style home, a problem that was costing him money and making his home uncomfortable too. With the help of Energize NY, he researched his options and chose Healthy Home Energy & Consulting to complete a comprehensive energy evaluation on his house. The results of the evaluation confirmed Steve's belief that much of the wasted energy could be saved through proper insulation and better air sealing. Having completed the work, Steve knows he is no longer losing energy and money through unseen cracks and inadequately insulated walls. The increased comfort and energy savings make for one happy homeowner.
