We are independent energy consultants who reduced our own energy use and saved several hundreds of dollars monthly on our utility bill and made our homes more comfortable and now are helping others achieve similar results. We are not contractors. We do not get paid based on the recommendations we make or the recommendations you choose to do. We want to provide you with what you need to do, explain why you need to do it so that you have all the information you need to make an informed decision. Once you've made the decision on what you want to do, after having all the information necessary to make an informed decision, we will help you implement your decision. We have vetted many home performance contractors and we know they will do the quality work you want and deserve. There are PGE rebates available and financing available that we will show you how to leverage to your advantage. So give us a try. You'll be glad you did.

Energy Efficiency Auditing questions, answered by experts

While you can perform many routine home maintenance jobs yourself, it’s often a good idea to bring pros in for certain tasks. HVAC maintenance, fireplace and chimney inspections, foundation repairs, and roof inspections and repairs should be handled by professionals who know what to look for and can safely perform repairs. You may also find it helpful to hire a local house cleaning service to help with deep cleaning.

If you have central air conditioning, it’s fine to run your AC all day if that’s what you want—as long as the AC unit is in good condition. But if your AC runs constantly when you don’t want it to, there may be a problem with your system (like the ones we’ve mentioned above). Window AC units and wall air conditioners aren’t as powerful as central AC, so you should only run those kinds of air conditioners for eight to 12 hours at a time.

HVAC systems use the most household electricity. This major and essential system is responsible for heating and cooling your home all year round. Since they operate for a significant amount during the day, it consumes more energy than other appliances. 

Setting your AC unit to 78 degrees can, indeed, help you save energy. In fact, according to experts, every degree you turn the unit up could save you between 1% and 3% on your energy bills. That said, turning your unit off entirely while you’re out might actually be less efficient than keeping it on at a higher temperature. Why? The unit will need to work extra hard to cool the house back off again after all those hot hours. 

They’ll use more electricity than the average upright vacuum, but not remarkably more. Most power units plug into a standard 120-volt outlet and don’t have significant power demands. You shouldn’t notice an increase in electricity bills. If you have any specific questions about energy costs, ask your installer as you examine purchase decisions. Larger power units will need more electricity for their suction levels.
