A “Combi” system is an appliance that can do two things well: Heat your Home and Provide you with Hot Water

It is a high efficiency appliance that uses condensing technology to heat water and distribute it for space heat and domestic hot water use as needed.

The most efficient combination system uses an indirect-fired water heater; the boiler feeds a heat exchanger inside a storage tank (typically 50-100 gallons), transferring heat to the potable water.  This system takes advantage of the already-hot boiler during the heating season. Condensing boilers have a long life, 30 or 40 years compared to 10 to 15 years for a standard storage-type water heater.

The system can be configured to provide space heat via hydronic heat (like piping in the floor, or radiators placed throughout the home), or a hydronic Air Handler can be installed for heat distribution

95% AFUE minimum

Yes!  This measure is the perfect marriage between Insulation and Air Movement.  Think of your house like a person, standing outside, without a coat.  On a nice day, you are comfy and don’t need a coat.  Then the temperature drops.  Installing insulation is like putting a coat on your house.  Back to your house as a person.  It’s cold, and now it’s windy. Your insulation coat works pretty well, but when that wind hits you want to run inside.  Air Sealing is like putting a wind-breaker on your house.  Just like a ski parka, when you have insulation combined with a wind breaker, you feel warm!

REQUIRED PRESCRIPTIVE AIR SEALING DOCUMENTATION

Must meet sections 4.4 and 6.2 of the 2016 BPA Residential Weatherization Specifications.  Must be performed by a CNGC Trade Ally and concurrently with a non-duct insulation install.  Attic Insulation must be present.

WHAT ARE THE REQUIREMENTS FOR WHOLE HOUSE AIR SEALING? *

*CNGC Trade Allies ARE REQUIRED to install Whole House Air Sealing – they know how

 

When you combine Whole House Air Sealing with two (2) weatherization measures, you can earn BUNDLE B – $500!

 

Minimum reduction in Total Air Leakage of 400CFM at 50 pascals – PRE and POST testing required

Prescriptive Air Sealing targets specific areas of your home to reduce leakage but does not require a Blower Door Test. Rather, your contractor will follow the guidelines of Sections 4.4 and 6.2 of the 2016 BPA Residential Weatherization Specification Guide.

Whole House Air Sealing will target these and other areas, using a Blower Door to find air leaks throughout the home and seal them. Whole House Air Sealing also requires specific Washington Department of Commerce Weatherization documentation.

A Bundle is an additional rebate when you combine 2 or more measures. CNGC offers two Bundles for Existing Homes and one Bundle for New Construction.
