Got A Leaky Whole House Fan?

THE PROBLEM: 

Leaky whole house fan

All whole house fan shutters leak air and are not insulated. The average whole house fan shutter has eight (8) square feet of un-insulated area. All the energy saved by the whole house fan when in use is lost in the summer months when the air conditioner is in use and when the furnace is in use in the winter months.

THE SOLUTION:  

ShutterMate - Universal Model SM-3538

The new ShutterMate from U.S. Green Products solves this problem by overlapping and sealing the entire shutter area, saving the homeowner valuable energy dollars.  It fits over 35 sizes of fan shutters installs in minutes from inside the room using magnetic closure.  The ShutterMatte performs the same function as attic insulation R-10 value with a weather-strip gasket.  You can even paint over the solid white to match over any decor.  The ShutterMate comes with a 15-year manufacturer's warranty.  Plus... 

         The ShutterMate complies to these Green Building Standards:

ENERGY STAR Home Sealing Program

NAHB National Green Building Standard

ENERGY STAR Thermal Bypass Requirements

USGBC-LEED for Homes Program

Sexy CFL's - we got 'em!

The Problem: Some of our wx clients found that their clients did not care for the look of standard spiral CFL's (the squirrel's as one gentlemen nicknamed them).

The Solution:  A-shaped bulbs!

These sexy bulbs offer the efficiency of the spiral bulbs combined with the sleek style of the traditional incandescent bulbs. These A-shaped bulbs can be used in place of the traditional incandescent bulbs in lamps and fixtures, based on wattage equivalency of course.  They meet the ENERGYSTAR guideline for energy efficiency!

We currently carry A-Shapes by Overdrive 15w (60w equivalent) & 7w (40w equivalent) in soft white.
