The Problem
The Environmental Protection Agency has been pushing Energy Star-rated building programs since before the 1990s. Their desire has been to reduce by 30 percent the energy consumption by heating, cooling and water heating in homes and buildings.
QEC has worked through the years to partner with such programs to install Energy Star electrical systems. We also partner with home builders and general contractors, as well as Individuals in planning for the best total energy service outcomes across the board in your new or existing construction project.
How We Help
However, we have found many older homes and buildings, even those as new as 5-10 years old, are suffering today from high energy consumption, which results in high utility costs. We are here to bring you comfort. Many of our applications can save you 5 percent to 70 percent in energy savings. And get this: Most of our applications have a return on investment in 1-4 years, depending on your choice of services.
Our services and products make a difference, and they start as low as 100.00. We will begin by inspecting your mechanical systems and offer suggestions to make your home or business more efficient. We will then offer many solutions that can save you money on utility costs, make your systems safer and allow you to live in a cleaner and more comfortable environment.
Our Solutions
Some of our solutions include:
- Insulated barrier panels: We install insulated barrier panels to existing homes desiring to lower total utility costs by ensuring less loss on heat and cooling from poorly insulated homes, saving customers 40 percent to 70 percent on heating and cooling costs annually.
- Total Lighting Makeover: In addition to helping you improve your lighting, we can install CFL-type and LED-type bulb applications suitable for your home light fixtures, saving customers up to 15 percent on power bills annually and extending the cost of changing light bulbs.
- Controls: We install time clocks for appliances and water heaters, reducing the amount of wattage wasted while not in use. By using dimmers and motion controls, the life of your light bulbs can be extended 2-5 times their normal life.
- By using power factor conditioners, we can reduce the cost of wasted electricity consumed by the motors found in your mechanical systems. Power factor conditioners can save 10 percent to 30 percent on your power bill.
- Phantom Voltage can be decreased by simply turning off electronics and appliances while not in use. Systems used to turn off these devices can save up to 15 percent per year in your electrical utility cost.
- Whether you desire to save money on water heating or electrical power consumption, solar energy systems offer a variety of solutions for saving money on utility costs, even eliminating utility costs in many cases.
We can also help with PV solar energy systems and many other creative and efficient energy solutions. Our services and products are affordable, and with today’s fast advancing technologies, the processes and products are becoming even more affordable every day.
What Is Wasted
Conserving energy in a home or business doesn’t just save money; it also saves the planet and promotes healthier lives. When you simply plug in a computer or the new plasma TV, it seems easy enough. But many people don’t consider the wasted energy because we can’t see or smell any pollution. But the pollution is there and you are paying for it every day. In fact, you're paying every hour! The average home or business produces more pollution and wasted energy than the average car! So saving energy does not just put money in your pocket, it helps keep the air and water and life cleaner, too!
