Power Pole with a TransformerFunction-A device used to transfer electric energy from one circuit to another, especially a pair of multiply wound, inductively coupled wire coils that effect such a transfer with a change in voltage, current, phase, or other electric characteristic.

Service Head

Function- brings electricity fro the transformer to the meter.

Meter

Function- measures the kilowatts that are being used by the building

Service Panel

Function- is the main panel or cabinet through which electricity is brought into the building and then distributed to various branch circuits.

Pays for themselves fast

Air handling unit

Is a device used to condition and circulate air as part of a heating, ventilating, and air-conditioning (HVAC) system.

Blanket insulation

Purpose- Batts and rolls are available in widths suited to standard spacing of wall studs, and attic or floor joists. Continuous rolls can be hand-cut and trimmed to fit. They are available with or without facing.

Loose fill insulation

Purpose- foam, or other materials. These small particles form an insulation material that can conform to any space without disturbing any structures or finishes. This ability to conform makes loose-fill insulation well suited for retrofits and for places where it's difficult to install some other types of insulation.

Foamed Insulation

Liquid foam insulation materials can be sprayed, foamed-in-place, injected, or poured. Their ability to fill even the smallest cavities gives them twice the R-value per inch than traditional battinsulation.

Ridged board insulation

Purpose- can be used to insulate almost any part of your home, from the roof down to the foundation. They provide good thermal resistance and often add structural strength to your home. Foam board insulation sheathing reduces heat conduction through structural elements, like wood and steel studs.
