Greenlink Energy Solutions

Many Rockford-area attics have issues with water infiltration, degraded insulation and rodents. We can restore your attic by cleaning it out, sealing gaps and installing new insulation - making it as good as new. We start by assessing its current condition, determining what materials can remain. Greenlink Energy Solutions can restore your attic to pristine condition, while increasing the energy efficiency of your home. Gaps in your attic allow unconditioned air and pests in, and inadequate insulation makes your heating and cooling equipment work harder to compensate.

Renewable energy - including solar, wind, biomass, and geothermal - produce energy with little or no carbon emissions. These clean sources of energy have considerable health benefits as they promote air quality and environmental health. Reliable renewable energy systems are growing in popularity across Northern Illinois. The cost of a residential solar electric system has fallen considerably, making now a great time to install photovoltaic panels on your home. In fact, the price of solar electric systems has fallen each year since 1998, according to the National Renewable Energy Laboratory.

If your home is drafty or uncomfortable, one area to consider upgrading is your windows and doors. Windows and doors are just two of the many elements within your home's system that contribute to indoor comfort, air quality and efficiency. Without proper sealing, your new windows and doors will let the same drafts in - and conditioned air out - as your old windows. When properly installed, new windows can markedly improve your home's thermal barrier, and can enhance your home's aesthetics. However, if your windows are too old or past the point of reasonable repair, we will recommend a replacement.

Home heating and coolingMost HVAC contractors only look at the square footage of your house when installing your units. We use proven building science testing to check your home's thermal barrier, air sealing, and entire home envelope. This way we can recommend HVAC units that will serve your home at optimum efficiency. We can also determine if your existing heating and cooling system are running safely and efficiently. There are a variety of technologies available to heat and cool your home. If it's time for a new heating system, we can explain the options for your home and tailor an ideal heating and cooling solution.

The hot summers and cold winters in Northern Illinois make adequate home insulation very important. Insulation becomes less effective over time, and odds are your Rockford home is not insulated up to current standards. Cellulose insulation is one of the best ways to cut energy bills and boost your home comfort. As energy efficiency experts, we can determine if your insulation needs to be replaced and which areas are the highest priority. We often utilize cellulose insulation in existing homes around building elements such as pipes and wiring.

Even if your home was insulated correctly when it was built, insulation tends to settle over time, getting thinner and far less effective. When it fails, it can cause multiple problems in your home. Common signs include high energy bills, drafts, animal infestations, ice dams, big indoor temperature fluctuations and uneven temperatures. Upgrading insulation is one of the top ways to cut energy bills and boost your home comfort. We can determine if your insulation needs to be replaced and which areas are the highest priority.

Did you know that indoor air is commonly two to five times more contaminated than outdoor air? There are many sources of indoor pollution in the Rockford area - including smog, particles from cooking, pet dander, mold, pollen and dust. In the kitchen, smoke, cooking gas, and fumes can accumulate, degrading occupant health. In the kitchen and bathroom, excess moisture from cooking and bathing can elevate humidity levels, encouraging mold and mildew growth. In the laundry room, dryer ventilation is essential for exhausting humidity and even fumes from the home.

Spray foam insulation seals gaps and adds R-value, cutting your energy bills and making your house more comfortable. Upgrading home insulation is one of the best ways to boost home comfort, while saving on future energy bills for years to come. Spray foam insulation excels where other forms of insulation don't, as it is very effective in sealing cracks and insulating around irregularly shaped building elements. This continuous layer of insulation helps ensure even home temperatures throughout your home.

Closing air gaps helps prevent air from leaking in and out of your home, for a more comfortable and healthy indoor environment. The Greenlink Energy Solutions team has the tools and expertise to determine where air sealing is needed. We can air seal your home, from top to bottom, and as Northern Illinois leaders in home performance upgrades, we will ensure the job is done right from start to finish.
