Energy retrofits are building improvements that improve energy efficiency. This includes air sealing, adding insulation, and upgrading the HVAC system.
Energy retrofits are the secret sauce of a high-quality renovation because they strongly effect the things we want from their indoor environment – comfort, fresh air and affordability.
Trim Tab is a contractor that specializes in all aspects of energy retrofitting.
Modifying existing buildings is a complex process to ensure that all aspects of building performance are considered when making changes. Our service also ensures that solutions consider the “home-as-a-system,” by considering how each retrofit affects not just energy use, but also health, safety, and building durability.
Importantly, our one-call service also streamlines your experience as a single point of accountability for the entire project.
Yes, various government and utility rebate programs are available to incentivize energy retrofits. Many of these programs are time consuming to navigate.
Our expertise at Trim Tab includes finding you as many sources of funding as possible to offset the cost of your retrofit projects. We also handle the application process and reporting requirements.
Most existing buildings would benefit from energy retrofits, but timing is an important factor because retrofits are often a component of space modernization. If you are planning for equipment replacement, renovations, or unit turnovers, now is the time to consider how to integrate energy retrofits to lower operating costs and improve the indoor environment.
