We recently had Kirk from Austin ProEnergy come run an energy profile on our home, which was build in 1999 & was supposed to be energy efficient for that time. However Kirk was able to use newer technology (infrared gun, air-flow test) to show us several areas where we could improve. Kirk was very professional throughout the process & spent plenty of time with us to explain the results. \r

We subsequently installed radiant barrier foil, more blown-in insulation, duct seal, & some weatherstripping. I can tell a difference already. Our home office, which houses a PC, monitor, & 2 printers was always warm. I always attributed that to the equipment; however, after making the adjustments above our home office is noticeably cooler. The attic seems cooler too, but we haven't had a real scorcher yet. \r

Thank you Kirk! \r
