HEC Technologies evolved from its parent company Home Energy Control, Inc., founded in 1982, and located in Joliet, IL. HEC Technologies is a nationally recognized authority on insulation, acoustics and building envelope design. We work directly with homeowners, building managers, architects, acoustical consultants, building inspectors, product manufacturers, and general contractors providing: cellulose for walls, blown cellulose for attics, spray-applied polyurethane foam, air sealing, K-13 thermal acoustical finishes, sound transmission control, foam roofs, fireproofing and consulting.
Most people only think about the efficiency of their air conditioner or furnace when they think about comfort and/or energy savings in their house. It is typical for us to find brand new - newly constructed homes with duct systems operating at less than 80% efficient, while existing homes can run as low as 60% or less. You are probably asking - what determines the efficiency of your duct work. There are two primary components - leakage and insulation. If your ducts are running in unconditioned spaces they should be insulated to an R-8 or greater; this is the easy part.
Protecting a building from fire is serious business; this is why commercial fireproofing is an important part of any project. Fireproofing and fire stop systems not only are important for meeting codes, but also providing building occupant's precious time to evacuate. HEC Technologies offers a wide selection of commercial fireproofing solutions to help you build a stronger and safer structures. HEC Technologies can apply various type of fireproofing materials manufactured by: Monokrete, Albi, and Carboline.
HEC uses only the top proven insulation, acoustic and fireproofing products in the industry and is trained and certified by the manufacturers in the diagnosis and application of the product. International Cellulose offers a complete line of spray-on thermal acoustic finishes. All products combine cellulose fiber mixed with an acrylic adhesive. All fiber is treated with a boric acid and borate fire retardant. This product provides a R-value of3.8 per inch as well as providing an excellent solution to reverberant noise problems.
Let us diagnose the problem, design a solution and implement the plan with our contracting division. If you are planning a new building, take advantage of our extensive building science background and our 28 years of contracting experience to guide you in making wise design choices. The best laid plans are only as good as the people carrying them out! It's all about understanding the concepts and following through with unwavering attention to detail. HEC Technologies provides Continuing Education Courses for architects and building professionals.
Understanding this concept and treating the building as a whole system allows us to analyze the sub systems and how they interact to determine the root cause of the problem and implement the appropriate treatment. HEC Technologies uses the most proven diagnostic tools in the industry to identify and correct your home's problems. The proper combination of applications for each issue is the key to permanently solving building problems whether in thermal, acoustic, new construction or retrofit projects.
