Easy Energy is a company all about integrity; Integrity with our work as well as in customer relations. It is sometimes difficult to balance the two. We aim to increase our customer standard of living, provide financial and atmospheric comfort. When we propose a contract for the home or building owner, the suggested home improvements are based on a whole building perspective. That is, the entire home is viewed as a breathing organism. Comparing a home to the human body, both are a skin you live in. If your body becomes unhealthy you go to the doctor. You would not expect the doctor to only look at your arm when you have a high fever. As building scientists, or home doctors if you will, we cannot only look at the basement or attic of a home in order to solve an entire efficiency problem. We must account for a phenomenon known as stack effect.
What is the stack, or chimney, effect?
In comparison to the human body, it could be considered like the cardiovascular system. Just as blood and oxygen are pumped through the veins of the body by the heart, air flows through the home in currents. Air moves from areas of a higher pressure to lower pressure. Openings in the lower portion of your home allow air to travel in, where it is warmed and forced upward and out through openings in the ceiling and roof.
When Easy Energy USA runs diagnostic tests, we find where air infiltrates the building. We propose measures to improve the efficiency of the whole home.
A healthy home is much like a healthy body. Even if everything’s running smoothly, you should still head into the doctor’s office for your yearly exam. Easy Energy holds a friendly report with customers, making sure you and your home are well taken care of. We check back for at least yearly maintenance to ensure quality control and that your improvements are running as efficiently as possible.
