Halco Before & After Photos

This drafty old farm house in Naples, NY had major moisture problems in the basement. The fiberglass on the basement ceiling had visible condensation on it.  The basement was musty, moldy, drafty, dark, and very damp.  We put down a vapor barrier on the basement and crawl space floors and sprayed 2" closed cell foam to the rim joist and walls.  We also installed a SaniDry Energy Star rated dehumidifier that will remove up to 109 pints of water per day! All of this resulted in a drier, more comfortable, and more energy efficient home. 

This Naples, NY customer previously had a pellet stove and wall space heaters, which resulted in uneven heating. Halco technicians installed a Duel Fuel Hybrid heating system with a 96% efficient propane furnace and an air source heat pump. In addition to the heating work, we also installed central air so this customer can stay comfortable in the home no matter what the season! 

This solar PV electrical Balance of System, or "BOS," is one portion of a solar install for a customer in Honeoye Falls, NY. The Balance of System is comprised of 1 SMA 5 kW inverter and 1 SMA 3 kW inverter, along with 2 disconnect switches and the electrical meter. These inverters provide grid-synchronous AC output and interfaces to the electric utility. Power production (kW) and energy production (kWh) can be monitored by the digital display on the inverter.  

Here are some service panel pics from an electrical upgrade in Bloomfield, NY.  The old panel is called a Pushmatic, which is a very old panel that is obsolete after the company went out of business. Pushmatics can be a fire hazard and finding parts can be difficult. 

This 8.175 kW solar electric system was installed for a customer in Middlesex, NY. First the customer had to clear some trees to avoid any shading issues. The system was then installaed as a 25 panel array. It was designed to generate approximately 8,894.8 kWh per year which is equivalent to a carbon dioxide emissions savings of approximately 13,522 lbs.!This customer has taken a huge step towards energy independence and reducing his environmental impact!
