80-20 Energy Solutions…80% impact with only 20% investment
Looking for low-cost energy conservation strategies that can immediately help you start reining in your utility bills with only a modest upfront investment? So were we! 80-20 Energy Solutions was created as a result of our search for energy conservation methods that would help us save money right now…not in 20 years. Present-day economic realities have forced us to look for our own solutions in the face of escalating energy costs and then, faced with the sticker shock associated with so many of them, have also forced us to carefully consider their affordability and practicality before jumping in.
At 80-20 Energy Solutions, we offer a range of cost-effective products, from the familiar to the cutting edge. Everybody knows the importance of adequate insulation in keeping those energy dollars from going through the roof, both literally and figuratively. We can help you replace or supplement your attic insulation for optimum performance. But did you know that insulation is not always enough to help you keep your air conditioning costs under control in warmer weather? For that you need to consider a radiant barrier in your attic…a safe, simple process that yields energy savings from 8 to 20%. Radiant barrier coatings have been used extensively in commercial settings to control utility costs and improve comfort, and now they are available to the homeowner, as well. The professional application of window films is another strategy to keep the sun’s heat from making you lose your cool in the summer months. They’ll protect your furniture, flooring and artwork from harmful UV rays that can cause fading, too.

Sprayed to the underside of your roof deck facing the attic, it prevents 77% of the heat from the summer sun’s rays from penetrating your roof, significantly cutting your cooling costs. In the winter months it helps conserve energy by reducing heat loss. Intrigued enough to read about the science behind the innovative, yet inexpensive first prong of our cost-saving strategy for you?
