Welcome to ACT Home Energy Specialists
One Project at a Time!
At ACT Home Energy Specialists, we help homeowners conserve energy and reduce unnecessary waste—one project at a time. For more than 15 years, we’ve proudly served the DFW community by providing practical, cost-effective solutions that make homes more comfortable and energy efficient. Every home is different, which is why we start by understanding your goals and budget. From there, our team evaluates your property to identify the areas where improvements can deliver the biggest impact.
One of the most effective ways to improve your home’s efficiency and year-round comfort is with proper attic insulation. When an attic isn’t adequately insulated, heat escapes in the winter and builds up in the summer, forcing your heating and cooling system to work harder than it should. Upgrading your attic insulation creates a stronger thermal barrier that helps maintain consistent indoor temperatures, reduces energy waste, and can lower monthly utility costs. With the right insulation in place, your home stays more comfortable while your HVAC system operates more efficiently.

Targeting Energy Waste and Saving Money
Home Performance Testing
The best home improvement projects are the ones that pay themselves off! That’s an exciting reality when it comes to energy waste reduction. Home performance testing offers an easy way to identify air leaks and excessive heat accumulation inside your home. Considering your heating and cooling expenses account for almost half of your average daily energy consumption (according to the US Dept. of Energy), your long-term savings could range from hundreds to thousands of dollars.

Maintaining a Cool Attic Temperature
Radiant Barrier Installation
Searching for a long-term source of energy savings? Radiant heat barriers offer a lucrative means of protecting your home from excessive electricity consumption. By repelling up to 97 percent of solar heat emitted into the attic, your system may even allow you to downgrade to a smaller air conditioning system!

Wall Plug & Light Switch Insulators
These simple foam insulators help reduce unwanted air leaks around outlets and light switches on exterior walls. A small upgrade that can help improve comfort and energy efficiency.
AMICO Retrofit Recessed LED Lights
Out of all the recessed lights I’ve worked with, I’ve found the AMICO retrofit lights to be one of the best options for homeowners. They help reduce air leakage and improve efficiency. They install easily into most existing 5″ and 6″ recessed cans, provide clean bright lighting, and let you choose from 5 different color temperatures in one light to match your home perfectly. Great for upgrading older recessed lights while reducing air leakage and improving appearance.
High-Airflow Supply Vents (3 Tiers)
Through years of working in homes and checking airflow room-by-room, I’ve noticed that many supply vents significantly restrict airflow coming from the HVAC system. Homeowners often focus on the AC unit itself, but the vent cover also impacts how efficiently air moves into the room. Homes using higher-airflow vent designs tend to deliver air more evenly, improve room comfort, and reduce airflow restriction at the vent.
Sizing tip: Make sure to select the right size vent. To get the right size, take the vent down and measure the opening of the supply boot.
Basic Vent
A solid, no-frills upgrade over standard builder-grade vents at the lowest price point.
Mid-Grade Vent
Better airflow design and finish — a strong middle-ground choice for most rooms.
Best Airflow Performance
Top-performing airflow design — the vent we recommend when comfort and even distribution matter most.
Soffit Vents & Installation Hex Screws
These soffit vents are the same ones we use on our jobs to help improve intake airflow in your attic. We’ve found that most homes need roughly 1% of attic square footage in net free area — so a 2,000 sq. ft. attic space would need about twenty 16×8 soffit vents. We’ve also listed the hex screws we use to install them — preferred for easy removal later if you ever need to do an attic clean-out.

Attic Ladder Tent Cover
An easy-to-install cover that seals the gap around your attic ladder — one of the most common air-leak points in a home.
Purpose
- Insulation barrier — helps seal the gap around the attic ladder, preventing heat transfer between the attic and the living space.
- Air-leak prevention — reduces drafts and air leakage, maintaining consistent indoor temperatures.
- Dust & debris protection — keeps dust, allergens, and debris from the attic out of your living space.
Benefits
- Energy efficiency — reduces heat loss in winter and heat gain in summer, helping lower energy bills.
- Enhanced comfort — minimizes drafts, making your home more comfortable year-round.
- Improved indoor air quality — blocks insulation particles and attic dust from entering the home.
- Easy install & access — most covers install quickly and still allow easy attic access without breaking the seal.
TempPro Hygrometer
A great tool I even use in my own home. It’s a simple, affordable way to monitor indoor humidity and temperature levels — great for identifying comfort and moisture issues. I’ve found these work better than most humidity readers built into home thermostats.
