Advanced Home Energy

Tankless water heaters can run on electricity or gas. Gas fired tankless water heaters provide a higher flow rate than electric ones. However, sometimes even the best gas-fired tankless water heater cannot keep up with simultaneous multiple uses such as taking a shower, running a dishwasher and doing laundry all at the same time. To compensate for high water use situations like that, separate tankless water heaters can be installed. For multi-unit dwellings where one appliance is used frequently throughout the day a tankless water heater can be installed attached to that appliance only which will ensure warm and cozy showers even if the laundry machine is running throughout the day.

A properly-sized and efficient HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, Air Conditioning) system contributes greatly to a more comfortable home. It provides more consistent temperatures and better humidity control with lower performance cost. We install high efficiency HVAC systems sized and designed to your unique home energy needs. By customizing a system specifically suited to your home's unique design, we can ensure your HVAC systems have optimal performance while providing you the most cost-effective solution.

When combined, solar and efficiency delivers the greatest return on investment, home performance potential, and environmental benefit. Rather then trying to sell you the largest solar system possible, we advocate first lowering your home's energy needs with efficiency improvements. Then we can design a custom solar system that is properly sized to your new, lower electricity needs. Energy efficiency is less costly than solar. By providing energy efficiency services alongside your solar installation, we offer the most cost-effective way to invest in solar.

When helping you decide on the right window for your home, AHE will go over the ratings of the windows we recommend and show you how they compare to other window options. This is the only way to compare the performance of windows and make an educated decision. If you have decided to install energy saving windows, then perhaps you have done some research and noticed that there are numerous types, brands, models and designs to choose from. Every manufacturer touts their special features and claims that they have the best performance window.

Insulating your home is often the #1 most cost-effective home improvement measure. Ensuring you have energy efficient home insulation becomes the best first investment home owners can make to improving the comfort and saving money on electric bills. Uninsulated homes usually mean uncomfortable homes with higher utility bills. Heating and cooling dollars are wasted because the home cannot maintain the desired temperature. If your home is drafty and your heater or air conditioner is constantly running just to maintain the temperature you want, its probably because your home is uninsulated.

Quality and customer service are second to none with Advanced Home Energy! They worked on my 100+ year old Victorian 2-unit home in SF by replacing two furnaces, replacing all the ducts (in the attic and basement), installing insulation (both bats and blown-in), installed new recessed lights in the basement, and replaced old lathe-and-plaster ceiling with drywall. Their work was wonderful, but I was most impressed by the attention to customer satisfaction. The drafty old house is cozy now, and my gas bill is lower!
