"When we were in the market for a new heat pump, we were initially looking to save money on electrical costs. Our existing problems included a kitchen that would not cool and a front bedroom that was always hot. We got bids from several A/C contractors and all of them recommended we upgrade from a 3.5 ton unit to a 4 ton unit to gain more cooing capacity. Then we got an energy audit from Horizon Energy Systems. Our home was inspected not just for a new unit but also for existing problems. The NRG audit revealed our attic ventilation was not adequate, the ducts in the attic were leaking, there was insulation missing over the kitchen and the front bedroom. All the soffit vents were completely plugged with insulation.

Brad Lindsey from Horizon and his energy auditors outlined the existing problems and made the common sense improvements like Radiant Barrier Chips to reduce the heat load, increased attic venting and fixing the leaking ductwork. We not only ended up saving electricity, our house is more comfortable as well. Horizon installed a smaller 3 ton heat pump, added the RBS Chips and venting and installed the new heat pump in a downdraft configuration instead of the side draft using an elbow. We are using far less electricity and our house is much more comfortable than ever before. I highly recommend Horizon Energy Systems and the products and services they provide."

Our home was hard to cool, the heat pump ran continuously during triple digit days and the house was always uncomfortable. While shopping for a new heat pump, every contractor we talked to suggested increasing the capacity from a 3 ton to a 3.5 ton. That was until we got a quote from Horizon Energy Systems. They suggested going to a smaller unit (2.5 ton), and installing Thermal Control Membrane in the attic with a German fan exhauster. This energy package was a bit more expensive than our highest bid but it made sense. We had this work done and our home is more comfortable (winter and summer), the unit stays off longer than it runs and our APS bill has dropped by 50% from last year as shown on our APS bill! One reason is being able to take advantage of the off peak power as suggested by Horizon Energy Systems. If you are considering a new system this is the way to go. Obvious is the performance as we now have a smaller unit and the house is much more comfortable.

We are really happy with the professional installation, follow up and support. On a ending note, I had installed a new thermostat which has a timer on it. I wired it wrong and when it came time to use the heat only the fan would run.

With a measured outside temperature in the morning last week of 34F the house stayed at 68F USING NO HEAT for days on end. The Thermal Control Membrane in the attic is just an amazing product! We called Horizon to fix the thermostat and even though is was not related to the heat pump installation they re-wired at no charge! Thank you!

"During the summer, our two a/c units ran non stop and could never get the house below 80 degrees. We run a home office and my wife and assistant were miserable so I knew I had to do something different this time around. We had a 4 ton unit and a 3 ton unit, both Carrier split systems providing our comfort needs (if you want to call 80 degees "comfort"). We got several bids and after talking to the reprentatives, every company suggested take out the 7 tons of cooling and install two 5 ton units to make the house more comfortable. The quotes we got were over $26,000. While surfing the net, I came across the Horizon Energy Systems page on heat pumps and making homes more efficient and comfortable so we decided to have them do an energy audit and quote us on new heat pumps. After an extensive inspection and an infrared camera scan we were told we had plenty of cooling capacity in fact more than enough due to how the existing ducts were picking up heat along the way and with the camera, we could see the heat pouring through the vaulted ceiling! Brad Lindsey advised us that we did not need to replace the air handlers, only the ouside condensing units which were replaced with a 3.5 ton on the 4 ton unit and the existing 3 ton down to a 2 ton unit. I must admit that I was very skeptical that we were taking off 1.5 tons of cooling on a house that in the past that could not get below 80 degrees with both units running non stop!

Our home now is just unbelievable! We had Horizon install their TCM attic membrane, wrap all our ducts, change the outside units, both thermostats and add two 18" tubular skylights. We now are able to SHUT OFF the a/c units from noon until 7pm which is the more expensive APS on peak rate and incredibly, the house stays in the 70's all day! Unbelievable would be an understatement and I would not have believed this could be possible had I heard someone tell me this could be done, especially on my own home! If you are considering having a heat pump replaced you are making a big mistake by not getting a quote by Horizon Energy Systems. Our home is more comfortable, our bills are less than 50% of what they were and our home is much brighter with the tubular skylights! "

"Wrapping our ducts in the crawlspace made a huge difference in evening out the temperature throughout the house. We even stapled the Duct Wrap up under the floor! What a difference! To get the family room and kitchen warm you had to cook the bedrooms. If you wanted comfortable bedrooms, we were freezing while watching TV. Easy to install too, I was amazed at how much came out of the little box."

"I stapled duct wrap inside my wooden building out back, sorta like a shed/workshop. It was just about impossible to work out there when the sun was up so I had to time my activities either early morning or late evening due to the heat. Once the duct wrap was stapled up, I can work in the hottest part of the day! It's really amazing, great support from the folks at Horizon as well. They answered all my questions and are energy experts"

Believe it or not, the dog now loves his more comfortable home!"

Mr. Lindsay,

I had to write you to say that as somewhat of a skeptic, I have been more than "amazed" at the immediate impact of the installation of your products in my home two days ago. I'll have to give credit where credit is due, you told me what to expect and you were 100% correct.

The difference was immediate, your installation team finished up in the late afternoon and within an hour I was able to lower my thermostat by 3 degrees and felt warmer everywhere in my home all night long. The energy savings will prove more than worth the investment I am making, and I look forward to see just how quickly my ROI will develop.

Thanks so much for your amazing new technology and speedy implementation in my home. I look forward to being a reference for your company whenever and wherever your requirements dictate.

Thanks again & Best Regards,

Well, I finally received my highest APS bill for the year in August 2008. September actually dropped from August and same month LAST year was $658.00, THIS year.....$330.!!!!!! Absolutely amazing! That's almost half! You told me that I could expect to be even MORE comfortable in my home, saving energy and money at the same time, but this is over-the-top! I could not be happier, only wish I'd found out about you a couple of years earlier. Hope all is well on your end, please feel free to use my endorsement anytime, anywhere.

Homeowners and Businesses alike NEED to know about this technology! Get Cracking!

"Our new Sante Fe home originally was designed to have 14 tons of cooling per the specifications of the architect. Two 5 ton units on each wing and a 4 ton unit to serve the great room (with 14' high ceilings) and the kitchen.

Brad Lindsay of Horizon Energy Systems encouraged us at a recent home show to have a plan review done on the plans of our new home. Knowing a home of this size could have large energy bills to keep it cool we decided to have this service done.

When we received the modified plan back we were surprised to see the 14 tons of cooling reduced to 7! 2 ton units were to replace the five ton units and a 3 ton mini split, to reduce the conventional 4 ton unit in the center of the home. This reduction was made possible by wrapping the entire home in Horizon's TCM6 product which impressed us from the day it was installed. During the nights, even before the windows were installed, it was noticeably more comfortable inside than a wooden building we use on the property for storing construction materials. However, the real proof was when the 90+ degree weather hit and the electricity had not yet been connected. With the windows and doors installed the inside temperature remained between 78 and 80 degrees all day! The shed outside was unbearable to be in and felt like a convective oven! This product is just amazing and we are very impressed not only with the product but the extensive knowledge of Brad Lindsay and Horizon Energy Systems.

The attic venting was redesigned to keep the hot air out, and look forward to reduced energy bills and a much more comfortable home. Our only regret is building with frame this time around and not employing the OPERA house that Brad designed.

I highly recommend the professional services and unique products of Horizon Energy Systems."

"My garage/workshop is now more comfortable than my house! I used to dread thinking about going out into the garage and doing anything out there. Before this, I could only go in there early morning or hours after the sun went down. Any other time was brutal. And my refrigerator in there ran constantly.

The venting system the mini split, the TCM barrier, it's really amazing the difference and with the garage wall being cooler the rooms on the other side are noticibly more comfortable. If you want to take your work space back from the summer, this is the solution.

Best investment I've made for my business!"

"Since you have installed the radiant barrier chips in my home I have noticed a significant difference. Our home is plenty warm even in the bitter temps of Michigan. I have had my thermostat dialed down at least 6 - 8 degrees cooler. Just so my husband and I won't break out in a sweat watching T V. All of my rooms are surprisingly comfortable. We no longer have a cool drafty feeling when we enter a room. I can't thank you enough for all the hard work. Fox 2 news ran your spot on Saturday and again on Monday night. You got two nights of Detroit area exposure. Also a friend of ours was so impressed about your product he placed your business card on his classified ad page. Radiant Barrier chips will soon be all the rage here in Michigan. (next to ice and snow)."

"It's good to know your business is swamped. We love our Radiant Barrier Chips insulation. This house stays much cooler in this heat. Our neighbor came over last week in 90+ degree heat and humidity and the first thing she said when she entered the house was "Wow - you guys are so lucky to have air conditioning!" She couldn't believe that we didn't when I told her it was a new insulation product. There is an immediate, noticeable difference in temperature from the outside to the inside. We used 28% less propane for heating last winter and no more icicles or ice dams on the gutters! All of our neighbors had ice problems this year. We highly recommend this product to everyone we know! Good luck, you have a great product!"

"I could not believe the immediate difference in comfort of our upstairs bedrooms. I thought my kids kept playing with the thermostat because the upstairs, which was normally cold, was very warm. We had to lower the temperature of our boiler to maintain comfort at the thermostat settings we used to use. We have had the chips for two years and have already realized a return on our investment, a more comfortable home, no ice dams on our roof and oh yeah, so much cooler in the summer."

"I am so thrilled with the new Radiant Barrier that was installed in my attic yesterday. Already I notice a difference. You may think that's unusual but as I was getting ready for work this morning it felt as though I could feel heat coming down on my head and shoulders. It reminded me of the electric heat that was put in ceilings nearly thirty years ago when I was in Idaho. I was surprised myself. My furnace has hardly ran yet I am very comfortable with the temperature of the house. There are no hot or cold spots, just an even temperature no matter what part of the room you are in. Thank you for the excellent job"

"I have always thought the tubular skylight was a great idea, what I didn't realize until I installed several different brands was the wide range of performance. We installed tubular skylights in the office and showroom and I don't use any electricity for lighting at all! The light is very pleasant and easy on the eyes. Even on a cloudy day the tubular sky light emits a great deal of light. A great product for every home and office!"

"I have lived in this house for twenty five years with a dark bathroom, I hated it.. My son installed a 10" tubular skylight and I can't believe the difference! Not only does the bathroom glow with a warm light, the hallway is even lit up. I do have one small problem, every time I walk past the bathroom I reach inside to turn off the light! My sister ordered two for her house.

Two years ago we remodeled the kitchen and we had a two foot by four foot conventional skylight installed in the center for more light. The light is nice, but every winter we have to tape a piece plastic over the opening at the ceiling because cold air seems to go right down my back when I'm doing dishes. I wish I would have had tubular skylights installed instead."

"Since the addition on the south side of my home, my kitchen, dining room and living room required the use of lights, even during the day. Horizon Energy Systems installed three 10" tubular skylights and I can't believe the difference! My kitchen is bright and I don't need lights to read during the day. I was amazed to see them even putting out light on a full moon! My only regret I have is not installing them in the bathroom, hallway and garage. I'll be doing that soon.

Thanks for a great job!"

"Our kitchen was dreary and dark, even during the day since the rear addition was built and took away my sunshine. A 12" tubular skylight brought life back to my kitchen. The plants are growing, the lights are off and the whole room is more enjoyable to be in.

We need three more and I can't wait to get them! I highly recommend this product"
