Synergy Home

Crawlspace encapsulation is the 3rd of three big jobs (solar / geothermal /crawlspace) we have used Synergy for. We like dealing with their crews. They are always enthusiastic. If it's time to upgrade your Lexington, KY home, it's time to talk with the Synergy team. Our unique "whole-home" approach sets us apart from other Lexington area contractors. Our building science experts will consider every aspect of your home to maximize comfort and efficiency while reducing your bills. The solutions Synergy provides will help you stay comfortable year-round while keeping your home safe and healthy for you and your family.

When everything is working together your home will be more comfortable, more efficient and healthier. Our "house as a system" approach ensures that we guide you in making decisions that complement each other. For example, if you were to put in a new heating system this year and then upgrade your insulation next year you might find that the new furnace is now too big because the insulation has lowered your home's heating needs. We consult with you to maximize home upgrades and avoid costly missteps.

When it's time to replace a furnace or heating & cooling systems, you need to talk to Synergy Home about the system right for your home that will give you maximum comfort and efficiency. Homeowners trust us to guide them through the process, from selecting the right system to installing it thoroughly and professionally. Our residential services don't stop there. After installation, we'll make sure everything is going smoothly, that your new system is running properly and that you're satisfied.

A crawlspace is a shallow area located between the ground and the first floor of a home. It is usually only about one to three feet high, hence the term "crawlspace." It often contains the "guts" of the house, such as plumbing, wiring, HVAC equipment, and ductwork. This allows for easy access to a home's plumbing, electrical, and HVAC systems when repairs and upgrades are needed. Even if your crawlspace has a cement floor, water vapor and contaminants such as radon can enter from the ground. This can result in all kinds of moisture and indoor air quality issues in your crawlspace and home.

To put it simply, solar power is energy extracted from the sun's rays. Radiation from the sun is emitted constantly as it makes contact with the earth. It's possible to harness this energy by making use of photovoltaic (PV) cells. When sunshine hits these cells, photons interact with electrons to create "flow, " which results in electricity generation. Solar rays provide on-demand energy during the daylight hours. This can be extremely effective when it comes to powering air conditioning units which are run throughout the whole day.

No matter where it's used, spray foam insulation has one of the highest R-values of any insulation type. It's a high-performing material that helps us get your home in sync - leading to greater comfort and lower utility bills. Spray foam insulation is an insulation and air barrier material that seals walls, floors and ceiling cavities against air movement, including spaces around electrical outlets and light fixtures and where walls meet windows and doors. Cellulose insulation is the "greenest" of all insulation types because it is made from 80% recycled content.

Indoor air quality is a growing concern with many families suffering from allergies, asthma and other breathing difficulties. To make sure the air in your home is as healthy as possible we have a 2-pronged attack. First we must control where your air is coming from. Leaks from outside pull in air from crawlspaces, attics, basements and other undesirable locations. This is called infiltration and it is one of the leading causes of indoor air pollution. Think of the air in your house like water. If your water came through the basement foundation or up from your dirty crawl space you most certainly would not drink it would you?
