Older ducts are typically both not insulated and leaky. As a result, large amounts of warmth and/or coolness that your heating and/or cooling systems have worked on escapes before it gets into your home. By replacing your ducts with modern performance systems this loss can be greatly reduced, and the air you have paid so much to have heated and/or cooled will then be retained for use.

Hydronic heating systems are among the most efficient in heat distribution.
Electric clothes dryers can be much more expensive to run than gas dryers. This is especially true of older and lower cost models, and the running cost difference is much more significant in homes with large numbers of people and laundry.
