Vaughan is proud to work with NJ Clean Energy’s Home Performance with ENERGY STAR program in southern NJ to deliver whole-house energy savings to improve comfort and help protect the environment.
Brought to NJ Residents
New Jersey’s Clean Energy Program is a statewide program that offers financial incentives, programs (including Home Performance with Energy Star), and services for New Jersey residents, business owners, and local governments to help them save energy, money, and the environment.
Performed by Certified Professionals
Since 1993, the Building Performance Institute (BPI) has been setting technical standards for home energy auditing and energy efficiency upgrades. BPI-certified professionals hold over 23,000 active certifications across the Nation and in three foreign countries. More than 120 state, local, and utility energy efficiency programs specify BPI credentials for participating contractors, to ensure quality.
Energy Savings
Before getting started on your home comfort system, Vaughan will show you how to get the most out of your investment. Home Performance with ENERGY STAR offers a whole-house approach. How? First, Vaughan will perform diagnostic testing on your home and provide you with recommendations to improve your home’s efficiency including:
- Improving Heating and Cooling Systems – If your furnace or air conditioner Is more than 10 years old, we may recommend that you replace it with a unit that has earned the ENERGY STAR label. Heating and cooling can account for nearly half of the energy used in your home. While ENERGY STAR-certified heating and cooling products may cost more than standard products, they can yield annual energy bill savings of 10% to 30%!
- Sealing Air Leaks and Adding Insulation – In a typical home, as much as 25% of a homeowner’s heating and cooling dollars escape through unseen cracks and gaps. Air sealing in an important measure used to reduce energy loss. Using cellulose insulation – an excellent insulator made from recycled newsprint treated with a fire retardant – air sealing fills in the gaps often left between insulation batts and ceiling and wall joists.
- Upgrading Water Heating Equipment – Your water heater can be upgraded to an ENERGY STAR-certified appliance, saving money that would otherwise account for a generous portion of your utility bill.
What is an Energy Assessment
Get started with a NO COST home performance energy assessment. How does it work? A Vaughan BPI-certified consultant will come to your home to perform the assessment. The assessment will involve two phases, and last about 1½ hours.
During the first phase of the home performance assessment, our Vaughan representative will assess your home as a “total system” and complete a thorough inspection of all living spaces, plus the attic, basement, and crawl spaces. The rep will perform a number of tests and and inform you of the current conditions in your home, including the following:
- Health and Safety (carbon monoxide levels and moisture problems)
- Air infiltration rates
- Insulation levels
- Domestic hot-water system efficiency
- Heating system efficiency
- Cooling system/central air conditioning efficiency (if applicable)
During the second phase, the Vaughan representative will use the results of the assessment to develop an scope of work for any proposed improvements, including a cost and energy savings estimate. After your home has been approved for the Home Performance with ENERGY STAR Program, the following tests will be performed during/upon completion of installation to ensure quality assurance.
- Carbon Monoxide (CO) Analyzer: Important health and safety tool that determines whether the major combustion appliance (furnace, boiler, hot water tank and stove) in your home are operating safely)
- Blower Door: Measures the air tightness of a home and aids in identifying areas
where air leakage is occurring

Best HVAC contractors I ever had“Amazing customer service. From start to finish the team was professional and went above and beyond. They answered all my questions and ensured everything was done in an extremely professional manner. Marcus and Jeff were two of the best HVAC contractors I ever had. They replaced our entire Air Conditioning Coil and Outdoor Condenser. They even trouble shot the board when attaching to the existing furnace. I will recommend Vaughan heating and air going forward. Request Marcus and Jeff.”
- Team was very kind and knowledgeable
“We were having a toilet replaced in our main bathroom. Vaughan responded promptly to my quote request and the Team was very kind and knowledgeable regarding the questions I was asking. They emailed the estimate when they said they were going to email, they called back when they said they were going to call back, and they showed up right on time the day of the install. The plumber was very neat with his work area, kept us updated as the work progressed and finished in a timely manner. I would recommend them.”
