“We have been involved in remodeling over 40 homes, many built more than 100 years ago. In those houses, energy conservation was difficult –- poor insulation, leaky windows, dated heating systems (which were often loud and dirty). We find that in our Revive house, we are always comfortable with little in the way of temperature adjustment. It is also very quiet and efficient.”
