KY Home Performance

KY Home Performance (KHP) helps Kentucky homeowners save money and energy while improving the comfort of their homes.

  • Do you have high energy bills?
  • Is your heating and cooling system not keeping your home comfortable?
  • Does your home have drafty windows and doors?

Installing replacement windows, new heating or air conditioning equipment, or adding more insulation may improve your home’s energy performance.  But if you want to optimize your home’s energy efficiency, comfort, and substantially lower your utility bills, the way to get the best results is with the comprehensive, "whole-house approach" offered by KY Home Performance.
