 BEFORE
Energy Guard
Why suffer with an uncomfortable home because of high utility
bills. Nobody likes to turn the thermostat up in their home
when they are already uncomfortable, but more often than not,
cost outweighs comfort. Heat gain by radiation is the biggest
problem your home is faced with. Mass insulations only address
two of the three mechanisms of heat transport. They are
conduction and convection. Mass insulation does little to stop
heat gain, or loss, by radiation. As your home warms up during
the day, the insulation can only store so much heat and then
it is re-radiated into your home (summer time) or lost into
your attic (winter time). During warmer days you might even
notice that it seems to stay warm in your home even into the
cooler evening hours. Remember, more insulation is not always
the answer. In some cases, adding more insulation can make
your home even more unbearable. By adding more insulation, you
now are storing more heat to be re-radiated into your home. |

Energy Guard
Finally there is a cost effective solution. By installing
Energy Guard in your attic you can stop 95 - 97% of the
radiant heat that strikes its surface. Energy Guard installed
in your attic will dramatically reduce the heat gain into your
home therefore enabling you to reduce your cooling load. A
reduced cooling load can save you money on your utility bills,
as well as, making you feel more comfortable. "Remember,
wherever there is a need to retard or retain radiant heat,
there is a need for Energy Guard."

People in well built, well insulated, and energy efficient
homes and offices have been asking themselves for years why
their heating and air conditioning systems continue to use
hundreds, or even thousands, of dollars per year continually
adding or extracting heat from their "energy efficient"
buildings.
Insulation was
designed to slow down conductive heat transfer, and although
it does a good job of that, it does little to protect against
radiant heat, the primary cause of discomfort and high utility
bills. In summer, insulation can actually act as a "heat sink'
trapping the heat of the day, and allowing it to "beam' into
the building all day, and late into the evening.
Over 40 years of research has
shown that heat gain and loss in properly weatherized
buildings is due primarily to far-infrared radiant heat
transfer. Fortunately, the addition of clean, inexpensive, and
easy to install aluminum Energy Guard Space Blanket can dramatically
effect both your comfort level, and your energy cost.
The precursor to today's
Energy Guard was used for years in residential and
commercial buildings, and the concept was modernized and
popularized by use in the space program. Its fast becoming a
household word. Industry experts predict that all buildings
will eventually have Energy Guard in place because of
their universal benefits.
The concept is simple. Each
unit of radiant heat energy that is reflected away from your
building in the summer, and each unit reflected back in during
the winter, means less operation of your heating and air
conditioning systems, less wear and tear on your equipment,
and less money you pay in utility costs.
Because the radiant heat is
reflected, you will not feel it's effects in the summer, and
you will not lose as much body heat to cold walls and ceilings
in the winter. This increased comfort means you will never be
forced to continually adjust your thermostat, and that
translates directly into additional utility savings.
Energy Guard technology
is a fast growing, high tech industry that has left many
companies and individuals behind, yet Energy Doctor is a
professional company with experts available to help you make a
dramatic impact on your current, and future energy cost. |
