The Road to Achieving Energy Efficiency !

There was a time when my energy bills seemed to be peaking almost every month. Try as I might to conserve energy by switching off lights and fans, the bills just refused to drop. When my monthly budget seemed to have gone for a toss, I decided to take matters seriously.

I was considering options like air sealing the house and installing an energy efficient water heater, but I did not know where to start. During a chance discussion with my regular home remodeling contractor, Landmark Construction Crew Energy Upgrades, the staff told me that they help clients achieve energy efficiency too!

We immediately set to work and over several consultations, the contractor discussed my home’s energy usage and performance. I gave the go-ahead for an energy audit to get a real picture of my energy usage and the points of wastage.


The energy management technicians pinpointed numerous problem areas and I even got a free estimate of the potential costs. Based on the recommendations and discussions, I decided to coat the roof with a heat reflective paint and get all the gaps and cracks in the structure sealed properly.

I have to say that the licensed and skilled Landmark Construction Crew Energy Upgrades crew did perform an excellent job all over the house. Now I often sit back and marvel over the fact that my energy expenses have dropped by more than half! And what’s more, I enjoy tax rebates for the energy efficiency too!
