Trane Variable-Speed Air Handler/Humidity Control.

A traditional air handler delivers a blast of cool air until the home reaches the desired temperature, then shuts off until cooling is needed again. A variable speed air handler runs almost constantly at much lower speeds, resulting in less frequent cycling and reduced energy consumption.

Tyvek weather-resistant house wrap.

Tyvek is the industry leader in creating materials that keep air and water out, while letting water vapor escape. This technology both reduces energy cost and helps to prevent damage from mold and water. Tyvek house wrap supports your HVAC to keep your home cool in the summer and warmer in the winter, providing a more energy-efficient home.

Low E ultra-efficient double-pane vinyl windows.

Saves the average home between $126 and $465 per year as compared to single-pane windows. During the winter, this glass lets in natural light and keeps heat energy inside your house. During the summer, it reflects the sun’s heat energy away from your home for cooler inside temperatures. Windows also contain argon gas for added energy savings.
