Common Questions About Geothermal in Waco, Texas

• Why is my air conditioning system in Waco costing so much to run without keeping me comfortable?

  According to Tradewinds, inefficient building practices and leaky houses with improperly sized air conditioning systems are the primary culprits. The company explains that new studies demonstrate indoor air quality degradation from wall, ceiling, window, and duct leaks. They use Manual J load calculations and house performance testing to properly size systems based on actual building envelope efficiency rather than outdated rules of thumb.

• What energy consulting services does Tradewinds offer to Waco homeowners?

  Tradewinds provides comprehensive energy audits, house performance testing and remediation, HERS ratings, third-party inspections, carbon monoxide and combustion testing, and air quality testing and remediation. They also conduct custom load calculations and system design to ensure proper sizing and performance.

• How does proper insulation affect the size of cooling equipment needed in Waco?

  Tradewinds explains that as the energy footprint decreases in a home through better insulation and windows, the size of heating and cooling systems should decrease proportionately. For example, a 1977 home with older insulation might need one ton per 500 square feet, while a modern efficient home of the same size could be cooled with one ton per 750 square feet—requiring less equipment to achieve the same comfort.

• Does Tradewinds handle heritage home and barn restorations in Waco?

  Yes, Tradewinds has expertise extending to heritage restorations and heritage barns, combining modern energy efficiency principles with the requirements of older structures.
