A door can make all the difference in making your home exactly the way you want it to look. Not only that but when a high-quality door is installed, it can reduce drafts and energy loss through cracks and spaces in the doorway. At California Energy Services, we install patio style doors across El Dorado Hills, Folsom, and Sacramento. The Milgard doors we sell are expertly crafted, made out of fine wood that retains its beauty for years to come. Their elegant designs will make your living space more comfortable, increase natural light, and allow for easy access to the outdoors.

Many El Dorado Hills homeowners think of their windows as being primarily for visual appeal and for the enjoyment of the beautiful views outside their homes. One thing that often goes overlooked is that windows can actually play a key role in home performance and energy efficiency. Windows that are either improperly installed or of low quality can lead to a significant amount of energy loss, not to mention high utility bills and drafty living spaces. At California Energy Services, we offer a variety of different window options for residents of Folsom, El Dorado Hills and the Greater Sacramento area who are looking to keep their homes both stylish and energy efficient.

First and foremost, clean your filter. The most commonly forgotten of solutions, cleaning the filter of your HVAC unit is your best bet for a free fix. If the problem persists, give us a call and let us know what seems to be the problem (ie. the unit cycles off on its own, the heater is blowing cold air, the AC isn't blowing cold air, etc). Our team is always happy to help. There is a diagnostic fee for all service calls. If you choose to perform the recommended repairs with us at the time of appointment, however, that fee is waived.

Though we appreciate the business, we don't want you to be uncomfortable in your home! We also believe that your cooling system costs should be comfortable too.

At California Energy Services, we believe in improving the efficiency of homes for long-term savings and comfort. Unlike traditional HVAC contractors in the greater Sacramento area, we believe in looking at the home as it truly is: an interacting system. You can have the most efficient mini-split heat pump on the market, but if your home isn't properly air sealed, your cooling system will not operate at peak efficiency. Nor will you enjoy the comfort you were promised. Rather than viewing your heating and cooling equipment in isolation, we consider the state of your insulation, air sealing, and air duct system before making recommendations.

At California Energy Services, we offer free consultations to homeowners interested in solar. Using the information you give us, we generate a Custom Solar Report. Your home's Solar Report gives you insight into what to expect, including Resale Value, Payback Period, Environmental Impact Analysis, and Side-By-Side Comparisons of your electric bills, before and after solar. Through a partnership with Solar World, CES brings you high-performance solar panels for your home. Microinverters convert direct current from a single solar panel into electricity that is fed to the electrical grid.

Windows are an important part of the house. If a lower quality window is installed, a lot of energy can be lost through it, the energy you're paying for. Windows are important to the performance of the entire house, as part of our "whole house" philosophy, and should be treated as such. Windows are an important part of your home, not only for visual appeal but making it perform better as well. An improperly installed or low-quality window can result in significant energy loss, driving up your utility bills and causing cold drafts in your living spaces.

While dirty ducts don't always mean unhealthy air in your home, they may be contributing to larger health issues or spreading contaminants that could cause serious problems for people with respiratory health conditions, autoimmune disorders or some environmental allergies. Many homeowners are aware of the growing importance of indoor air quality and the harmful effects the air circulating throughout your home may be having on the health of your family. Fresh air is distributed from your heating system and air conditioning through the ducts in your home.

With excessively hot and dry summers becoming routine in and around Sacramento, having a properly sized, energy efficient air conditioning system has never been more important. At their best Air Conditioning units keep us comfortable throughout our home. At their worst, Air Conditioning units break down during the middle of heat waves, drive up our electricity bills, and fail to provide comfort when we need it the most. At California Energy Services, we believe that you deserve to be comfortable in your home regardless of the weather outside.

Nobody wants a cold shower. Guarantee your family's hot water problems are fixed by our expert installation, repair, and maintenance services for residents in the Sacramento area, including El Dorado and Folsom. What better way to keep your family happy and get your home operating more efficiently and cost-effectively than with a finely tuned water heater. We carry a wide selection of residential and commercial water heaters for installation homes across the El Dorado, Folsom, and Sacramento area.

Before beginning a new solar job, we conduct a full house report to identify any cost-effective energy efficiency upgrades that will decrease your electricity usage. After we conduct a full solar analysis, we spec an appropriate-sized solar array that will supply your home with enough electricity to meet its electricity needs with clean renewable energy. This is not cookie-cutter solar - this is a tailored individual solar solution. Solar is gaining popularity in El Dorado Hills and the Greater Sacramento region for good reason: homeowners with solar installations save money every month on their utility bills, increase their home's value, and produce clean, renewable energy from the sun.

HVAC Air duct system sealing is a major energy saving service that we offer to our Sacramento area residents, including El Dorado Hills and Folsom. Over the years we have seen too many dissatisfied customers who complain about their "energy efficient" systems not delivering the expected efficiency. This loss of efficiency is due to the, on average, 20-40% of air loss from leaks, holes, and poor ductwork. For heating and cooling units to run efficiently, our HVAC installation experts know that every home performance system needs to be paired with seal air ducts!

No one enjoys being cold — especially in their own home. We offer a variety of heating options so when the Sacramento winter arrives, you aren't left in the cold. We provide heaters that are not only cost-effective but efficient, saving you money and keeping you comfortable all winter long. We also do furnace repairs if your heating system is in need of a tune-up. From furnace installs to hot water heaters, we install a wide selection of energy efficient heating units in the greater Sacramento area.

Air sealing focuses on improving the building envelope - the material that separates your indoor environment from the outside. From the attic to the crawlspaces, we focus on small gaps in the envelope that allow conditioned air to escape and outside air to infiltrate. This unconditioned air makes you feel uncomfortable during the summer and winter, increases your energy bills, and even contributes to poor indoor air quality. We want to be held accountable by you. The success of air sealing is easily measured with our blower door test.

CES installs insulation throughout El Dorado Hills and the Greater Sacramento area. We have hundreds of satisfied customers over the years who have lowered their energy bills by insulating their walls, attics, and crawlspaces. For Sacramento area homes, we primarily use loose-fill cellulose, dense-pack cellulose, spray foam, and occasional fiberglass batt insulation. Since each type of insulation has its particular properties, we select the best insulation in consultation with the homeowner and their goals and budget.
