Question 1

What are the risks of not maintaining facades?

Accepted Answer

Not maintaining facades can lead to cracks, dirt accumulation (mousses and lichens), and rising damp. These issues can degrade the insulation and interior of your home over time.

Question 2

What is the solution offered for facade problems?

Accepted Answer

The solution is a water-repellent treatment that remineralizes the support using natural pigments. This causes water to bead and not infiltrate the material, also removing mosses, lichens, and dirt.

Question 3

What are the risks associated with roof degradation?

Accepted Answer

Roof degradation can lead to porosity, deformation due to moisture absorption and temperature changes, vegetation growth (bacteria and fungi), and ultimately leaks or infiltrations into the roof structure.

Question 4

What are the benefits of aluminum gutters?

Accepted Answer

Aluminum gutters are resistant to corrosion, can be lacquered in various colors, and are manufactured continuously and on-site for a perfect fit. They eliminate the risk of leaks as they have no joints or welds.

Question 5

How does insulation help reduce energy bills?

Accepted Answer

Insulation protects the home from external weather, both thermally and acoustically. When combined with an economical heating solution like a heat pump, it significantly lowers energy consumption and bills.

Question 6

What is the principle of an Air/Air heat pump?

Accepted Answer

The Air/Air heat pump uses free air energy to heat and cool the home efficiently and at a lower cost. It captures heat from the ambient air, warms it, and distributes it evenly throughout the house, creating a comfortable thermal bubble.

Question 7

What are the advantages of an Air/Water heat pump?

Accepted Answer

The Air/Water heat pump uses free air energy to provide heating and domestic hot water efficiently and economically. It captures heat from the outside air and injects it into the central heating and hot water circuit of the home, making it an ideal solution for replacing oil or gas boilers.

Question 8

What is RGE certification?

Accepted Answer

RGE stands for 'Reconnu garant de l'environnement' (Recognized guarantor of the environment). Linova's RGE certification means customers can benefit from state aid for their insulation and heat pump installations, which can be combined with other government programs.
