HODGES-COPPLE FAMILY HOME RENOVATION - Fall 2011
Project: Sprayfoam Insulation, Geothermal System
Location: Durham, NC
John Hodges-Copple and his wife Anne loved their historic 1910 home in Durham, and this family of 5 made use of every inch of the 3,400 sq ft footprint. But with only half the home air conditioned and while still relying on old radiators for heat, the home was both too cold in the winter and too hot in the summer.
In 2010, the family decided to renovate their kitchen and the scope of work quickly expanded to see if they could improve the energy efficiency and comfort of the whole home.

LACOFF HOME ENERGY MAKEOVER - Summer 2011
Project: Energy Remodel, Attic Insulation, Crawl Space Sealing, Vapor Barrier
Location: Durham, NC
Steve Lacoff and family enjoyed their large 1960's home in Durham with over 4000 sq. ft., but rising energy costs lead them to consider an energy makeover.
Steve called in Green Horizon to renovate the crawl space with waterproofing, insulate the attic with spray foam, install new duct work and bring in a new high-efficiency AC unit. They also took the opportunity to upgrade to a new 95% efficient furnace that was relocated to the crawl space, freeing up a much needed closet for this busy family of 4!
