The improvements you did lowered my electric bill of my 1500 Sq ft total electric house. I am on yearly averaging and it is + or - a few dollars right at $100/month. Your services are well worth it and showed positive results from the installation forward. Very pleased with the results that I have seen over a year and will continue to benefit from the upgrades. Installed radiant barrier in attic along with more insulation and two solar fans that I supplied. Also insulated the garage door. The break even point for the installation is just about 5 years. A real deal.
