Fan Man

Attic fans are the perfect way to make your home more efficient and economical. Improper attic ventilation can cause an over use of your air conditioning unit, which raises your energy bill significantly. Insulation is the key to a comfortable and energy efficient home. Ensuring that your home is properly insulated will lower your utility bills and prevent heat loss during the winter and heat gain throughout the summer. At Fan Man Inc., we analyze your home to figure out exactly where energy is being used the most.

4. Are there any programs to help with the cost of improving the energy performance of my home? 6. Are there tests that can be run to find out why specific areas of the home are a problem, like the master bedroom or perhaps a room over the garage? 8. Are there any programs to help with the cost of improving the energy performance of my home? I understand you offer a solar and electric fan option, how do I know which is the best application for my home or business? There is so much varying information on the Internet with regards to proper radiant barrier application.

In 2014, the federal government will begin the phaseout of inefficient incandescent lightbulbs, as we move towards a more energy efficient way of lighting our homes and businesses. Starting Jan. 1, the United States will no longer manufacture or import incandescent bulbs - although stores can still sell what they have in stock. Energy-efficient bulbs cost more than incandescent bulbs but last much longer and save on energy costs in the long-term. An incandescent bulb can cost as little as 70 cents.

Solar Power using photovoltaic panels (PV) isn't just a thing of the future anymore. Affordable solar is here. If done correctly solar panels can be installed and produce the majority of the power that the home uses. Fan Man looks at solar a little differently that the average solar company. While we custom design, engineer and install top notch solar systems we first look at the current energy usage and performance of the home. It typically costs much less to save energy than to create it. We like to start by doing a comprehensive energy audit and uncover the most economical ways to save energy then the solar systems we install have a larger impact on the overall energy bill.

Radiant barrier is a metallic foil used to create a thermal shield that blocks radiant heat from any direction. We typically recommend radiant barrier in addition to attic fans as a two prong approach in optimizing energy efficiency in your home. We recommend and install Radiantguard radiant barriers. They block 97% of the radiant heat. Lowering the temperatures above living space ceilings provides a significant benefit by reducing air conditioning loads and energy usage.
