The Problem

With the goal of lowering their energy bills and improving indoor air quality throughout their home, these San Ramon homeowners opted to upgrade older heating and cooling systems with high-efficiency products and install a brand new whole house air filter. Maximizing available rebates helped them recoup some of the project cost.

Hassler’s Solution

Our team focused on a few key services to help the homeowners boost air quality, energy efficiency and control of their indoor air. We took the following approach:

1. Replace the existing 80 percent forced hot air furnace with a 96.5 percent high-efficiency, two-stage furnace.

2. Install a multi-zone duct system to help even out temperatures in the home, and replace poorly installed insulation with R-8 insulation with 6 percent duct leakage.

3. Install a whole house air filter, upgrade the air conditioner and replace the standard water heater with a more efficient tankless hot water heater.

4. Remove old attic insulation and install blown-in, R-8 rated cellulose insulation and new knee-wall insulation.

The Results

With Hassler’s help, these homeowners are enjoying a more comfortable home, with all parts of the house at the right temperature year-round. The air filtration system helps keep out pollen, dust and other pollutants, for healthier indoor air. The total project cost of about $32K dropped to around $26K, with various rebates and a $500 federal energy tax credit.
