Reduction in heating oil cost by an average of 41%
Problem
Homeowners in Connecticut were looking for an easy way to reduce their heating bills during the cold season and make their home more comfortable year-round.
Solution
They applied Energy Protect™ clear insulation coating to the interior walls, ceiling, and other areas of their home to provide a barrier to the heat transfer, thus reducing the amount of energy used to heat and cool and providing a more consistent interior temperature year-round.
HEATING OIL USE IN GALLONS: Before Energy Protect™ (4 year average) – 620 gallons per year Estimated cost before – $1,618.21/year*
After Energy Protect™ (1 year) – 365 gallons Estimated cost after – $952.65/year*
This equated to a savings of 41% in heating oil use, and a dollar savings of approximately $665.56 per year
