Background
Energy Services, a leading air conditioning and heating company serving Naperville, IL, and surrounding areas, recently undertook a challenging project to improve the heating efficiency of a 30-year-old home in Wheaton, IL. The homeowners, the Johnson family, had been experiencing inconsistent heating, high energy bills, and frequent breakdowns of their aging furnace.
The Challenge
Upon inspection, Energy Services technicians identified several issues:
- An outdated and inefficient furnace
- Poor insulation in key areas of the home
- Uneven heat distribution throughout the house
- High energy consumption leading to expensive utility bills
The Johnsons needed a comprehensive solution that would address all these issues while staying within their budget.
The Solution
Energy Services proposed a multi-faceted approach:
1. Furnace Replacement: Install a new, high-efficiency furnace to replace the outdated unit.
2. Heating Service: Conduct a thorough assessment and cleaning of the existing ductwork.
3. Heater Installation: Add supplementary heating units in problem areas for more even heat distribution.
4. Insulation Upgrade: Improve insulation in the attic and walls to enhance overall energy efficiency.
Implementation
The Energy Services team began by removing the old furnace and installing a state-of-the-art, energy-efficient model. They then performed a comprehensive heating service, cleaning and sealing the ductwork to ensure optimal airflow.
To address the uneven heating issues, they installed supplementary heating units in the basement and upstairs bedrooms. Finally, they upgraded the insulation in the attic and walls, focusing on areas where heat loss was most significant.
Results
After the project’s completion, the Johnsons experienced immediate improvements:
- A 30% reduction in energy bills
- More consistent and comfortable heating throughout the home
- Improved air quality due to the new furnace and clean ductwork
- Increased home value due to the energy-efficient upgrades
Conclusion
This case study demonstrates Energy Services’ expertise in providing comprehensive heating solutions. By addressing multiple aspects of the home’s heating system, from furnace replacement to insulation upgrades, they were able to significantly improve the comfort and efficiency of the Johnson family’s home.
The success of this project in Wheaton, IL, showcases Energy Services’ ability to tackle complex heating challenges across their service area, including Bolingbrook, Downers Grove, Lisle, and Aurora, IL.
