Issue 21 | October 2020

Welcome to Energize Delaware!

Step 2

Energize Delaware’s Home Performance with ENERGY STAR® program takes a whole-house approach to reducing a home’s energy use while improving its comfort, durability and safety. Instead of tackling energy problems individually, such as replacing an old heating and cooling system or fixing leaky ductwork, Home Performance with ENERGY STAR® looks at a home as one system and recommends comprehensive improvements for better results.

Subcontractor Update

This update is the outcome of the recommendations of the Best Practices Working Group. This will benefit the programs Participating Contractors by promoting the use of our talented group of contractors which are held to the program's higher standards for quality and service.

PPE Resource

HVAC Orientation

The Program has encountered instances where the Downflow/Upflow or horizontal orientation of the HVAC equipment installed has affected the AHRI reported AFUE rating. This may result in two different AHRI documents for the same equipment contingent on whether the installation was installed ‘upright’ or ‘on the side’. Consequently, this will affect what rebates a project may qualify for and it is important to properly document and report these instances to prevent customer dissatisfaction.

Please keep this in mind when submitting the AHRI documents for rebate approval, and make sure to verify that the specific orientation of the installation is included on the sheet being reported to the Program.

One Stop Shop

Energize Delaware and Franklin Energy would like to recognize two of our more active trade allies; Home Performance Group and Maichle’s Heating & Air. These two contractors have developed a dynamic partnership within our Home Performance with Energy Star Program over the years. The combination of expertise that these two organizations bring to the table allows them to address virtually any of a homeowner’s needs, all within the same work scope. The partnership between these two contractors provides our customers with a one-stop shop for all of their Home Performance needs.  

Recently, they preformed a home audit on a New Castle home, built in 1958, that was excessively leaky and sat on top of a vented crawl space. With little to no insulation throughout the attic and knee wall spaces, the thermal boundary would need to be addressed. The home was running on an old gas-fired boiler, with a low-efficiency gas water heater to boot. Not only were they underperforming, but these heating appliances were also driving up this customer’s gas bill.
