"I highly recommend Trinity A/C & Heating. Our air conditioning system stopped working, so we called another company to diagnose the problem. After a brief inspection, including a trip to the attic, they told us we needed a completely new duct system at a cost of nearly $8,000. Fortunately, we decided to get a second opinion and called Trinity A/C & Heating. Jimmy thoroughly inspected the system and quickly identified the real issue: the system was simply low on refrigerant. They fixed the problem for a little over $300, and the A/C has been working perfectly ever since. Jimmy and Mike were honest, professional, knowledgeable, and took the time to explain everything clearly. Their integrity saved us thousands of dollars and prevented us from paying for unnecessary work. It's refreshing to find a company that puts honesty and customer service first. If you need A/C service, do yourself a favor and call Trinity A/C & Heating before making any major repair decisions. Thank you, Jimmy"

"They simply did a great job. I had them remove the old insulation, install new batt insulation, and add radiant barrier in my attic. Now my attic and house are a whole lot cooler. It is noticeably cooler in the house. The person who contacted me was Dustin. He was very professional and did a great job explaining things to me and laying out my options. The crew, which included Aldo, Roman, and Aaron were very professional and respectful to the care of our home and performing their job. I would definitely recommend and am willing to rehire them again for possible future projects. Thanks guys."

Energy Efficiency Auditing questions, answered by experts

You can save money on heating oil through a combination of improving home efficiency and smart purchasing strategies.

Home Efficiency and Usage:

  • Improve Insulation: Ensure your home, especially the basement and attic, is well-insulated and sealed against drafts to prevent heat leakage.

  • Manage Your Thermostat: Use a properly calibrated and programmable thermostat. Lower the temperature by a few degrees, particularly when you are away from home or asleep.

Purchasing Strategies:

  • Buy in the Off-Season: Order heating oil during the summer months when prices are generally at their lowest. This strategy is most effective if you have a large primary tank or a separate storage tank to accommodate bulk deliveries.

  • Consider a Delivery Contract: Some companies offer contracts with a set price for the term. This can lead to savings if market prices for oil increase, but you might pay more if prices drop.

When combined with a substantial solar system, if you have enough Powerwalls, you could go off-grid and be energy independent. But remember, you'd need enough Powerwalls to power your whole home continuously because a single Powerwall can’t power large appliances for extended periods. One Powerwall is able to power an average-sized home's emergency circuits, lights, and outlets. To power large appliances, you likely need two or three Powerwalls.

An average, 400-square-foot electric heated driveways consume approximately $3 per hour in terms of electricity. The price may slightly fluctuate depending on your local energy cost. A simple formula to calculate your heated driveway’s total wattage consumption is by multiplying the square footage by 50 watts and then dividing it by 1,000 to get the kilowatt number. Multiply that with your local energy cost per hour and there you have the hourly operating cost.

To determine the right size generator for your house, you should calculate the total wattage of the appliances and devices you want to power during an outage. List all essential items, note their start-up wattages, and add them together.

Here are some typical wattage requirements for common appliances:

  • Refrigerator: 600 watts

  • Large dehumidifier: 700 watts

  • Large window air conditioner: 1,400 watts

  • Water heater: 3,000 to 4,500 watts

  • Electric furnace: 5,000 to 25,000 watts

A 7,500-watt generator might be sufficient for essentials like a refrigerator, freezer, well pump, and lighting circuits. However, for high-demand items like a water heater or furnace, a whole-home generator is a better choice. A portable generator may be enough if you only need to power a few critical items.

While home square footage can offer a rough estimate, it is not always a reliable indicator. For reference, here are some typical generator sizes based on square footage:

  • 1,000 sq ft: 6–9 kW

  • 1,500 sq ft: 7–10 kW

  • 2,000 sq ft: 10–14 kW

  • 2,500 sq ft: 12–16 kW

  • 3,000 sq ft: 16–20 kW+

For the most accurate sizing, consult a professional who can calculate your home's peak and average power consumption and recommend the optimal generator.

Typically, a local home energy auditor is responsible for performing energy audits. A home energy auditor will conduct one of three energy audits designed by the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating, and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) to determine the energy efficiency of your home. The auditor often provides analysis that can help guide changes and improvements to your home for better energy efficiency, giving recommendations as necessary.
