Suzy B., a valued Halco customer, recently contacted us when her furnace stopped working. She expressed a desire to transition to a more environmentally friendly heating solution by installing a heat pump. Unlike traditional furnaces powered by fossil fuels like natural gas, heat pumps offer a sustainable alternative that reduces environmental impact. Additionally, they provide both heating and cooling capabilities for homes.
To address Suzy's needs, we installed the Air Source Heat Pump System, consisting of both indoor and outdoor units. Our comprehensive services also included duct cleaning, removal of fiberglass insulation from the basement and crawlspace, insulation of rim joists, installation of a vapor barrier on the crawlspace floor, and application of 2-inch spray foam insulation on the crawlspace walls. As a final touch, we applied fire barrier paint to ensure safety.
By leveraging programs such as the Lansing NPA and Clean Heat program, Suzy B. benefited from significant cost savings, reducing her overall expenses by over 50%.
