"An energy audit revealed terrible problems with our home's insulation, and we decided to start with these issues before moving on to other, smaller, projects related to energy conservation.
USA Insulation insisted that we would see a change in our home the very day they put in insulation, and I will have to agree that we did see improvements.
I returned home to find 2" diameter plugged holes in the siding every 16 or so inches in 2 rows, one on each floor. We let the insulation cure/dry for a day or two before we painted the caps to match the siding color. In the end, we decided to repaint the whole house but only the main color, not the trim. I would suggest anyone with wood siding that has this type of insulation installed, consider the cost and time to paint the house because repainting just those plugs could be noticable if the house color has faded over the years. It is a very small price to pay (money and time) for the benefits we will see.
There is a slight odor as the foam cured, but it was not toxic and not displeasant. It lasted about 48 hours before we could no longer notice the smell at all, but majority of the smell vanished in less than 24 hours.
While it is too soon to discuss how well this work is saving us money, we did see 2 immediate changes:
1) It is much quieter inside the house now.
2) The upstairs is no longer a heat trap with unbearable heat in each bedroom (home has no central heating or air conditioning).
       Let me add a 3rd change now that we have experienced a few cold evenings:
3) The house is indeed warmer and retains so much heat when the radiators go on. The radiators did not have to stay on long before the house maintained a good temperature.
USA Insulatoin, as part of their energy audit, left us with several suggestions of "do-it-yourself" projects that can provide additional energy savings in addition the major savings we will see from this insulation work.

Energy Efficiency Auditing questions, answered by experts

A whole-house humidifier can positively impact energy consumption by improving heating efficiency. During colder months, humidified air feels warmer, which allows you to lower your thermostat without sacrificing comfort. This adjustment can lead to significant energy savings as your heating system works more efficiently. However, it's important to use the humidifier judiciously, as excessive humidity could potentially strain your cooling system in warmer months.

Expert installation optimizes insulation properties, cutting energy costs and enhancing home comfort year-round.

Leaving lights on raises the electric bill, but not as much as having high-wattage light bulbs. The best way to save on electric costs is to swap your light bulbs to LED or CFL bulbs that use far fewer watts. You can also use smart lights and light switches to control usage via a smartphone or voice-controlled device.

Fireplaces can theoretically help you save on heating bills if you lower the temperature throughout the rest of your home and heat only a single room that you occupy using the fireplace. However, in most cases, homeowners won’t save any money on heating bills. Gas and electric fireplace inserts could actually lead to a spike in your respective energy bills if you use them frequently, and if you don’t keep up with chimney maintenance and repairs, your traditional masonry fireplace could actually be a source of heat loss in the winter.

Energy output depends on turbine size, average wind speed at your site, and system efficiency. A 5 kW turbine in a good wind location can generate 8,000 to 12,000 kilowatt-hours per year, which may cover a large portion of an average home’s needs. Accurate output estimates require a professional wind assessment and a review of your household’s energy usage patterns.
