"Attic masters did a good job at my house by cleaning the ducts. I spoke to them prior and they were nice to me. they gave me several options and explain to me the difference between each one and they recommended me which one to choose. The work that they did was good and the people that did the actual work were very nice. I will hire them again.

"The entire process went smoothly. Begin with a system quote from Paul Sherer with a design layout, followed by a feasibility study of the roof and where the panels are to be installed. I have a metal tile roof and the previous solar vendor actually rejected the project. Slingshot first installed the 240v outlet and that took 2 people a whole day to complete, as my electric panel is at the other side of the house from the garage. The panel installation took another 2 days that included the interconnect, upgrading the breakers on the panel. The staff was professional, courteous and focus on doing the job right. Then the city inspection and followed by submitting the application to PG&E. The approval took only 3 days which was a pleasant surprise. Slingshot came out to install a CDD so I can monitor the performance and output of all 13 panels. Not only the project completely very smoothly and on time, the final price I paid is exactly what was quoted from day 1. Now that my electric car is here, I think I can recover the cost within 2 years."

Energy Efficiency Auditing FAQs, answered by experts

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.

Yes, pros suggest units with high EER ratings for energy savings.

STC (Sound Transmission Class) is a rating that describes how well a building material or assembly blocks airborne sound. A higher STC rating means less noise will pass through the material, providing better sound reduction. This rating system applies to various building components, including windows, doors, flooring, drywall, and insulation.

For context, a typical single-pane window has an STC rating of around 25 (where normal conversations are audible), while a well-sealed, double-pane window can exceed STC 45 (blocking loud speech and most music). It is important to note that for some products, like soundproofing drywall, the STC rating refers to the entire wall system, not just the individual panel.

Additionally, STC ratings are most effective for measuring sound reduction at mid-to-high frequencies, such as human speech, and may not accurately reflect how well a material blocks low-frequency sounds like bass music or thunder. Because of these factors, it is recommended to consult a professional to determine the right STC-rated materials for your specific soundproofing needs.

Window AC units use a fair amount of electricity, but significantly less than central AC systems. Because they are more energy-efficient for cooling individual rooms or small spaces, their usage is comparatively low. On average, a window AC unit consumes between 500 and 1,400 watts, while a central AC system uses over 3,500 watts—meaning a window unit uses about one-third of the energy. This typically translates to a monthly running cost of $15 to $40, although this can vary depending on external factors.

Keep the unit full but not overloaded, ensure door seals are tight, set correct temperatures, and avoid frequent door openings. Position the appliance away from heat sources for optimal performance.
