"If you're looking for an A-player insulation contractor, I would recommend looking elsewhere. 
The energy consultant arrived on time and was friendly.   The estimate process was somewhat of a joke.   Basically, whatever I pointed to and said I'm interested in having something done, his response was "yeah we can do that" and then quoted some #'s from his head.   Really didn't take any time to look at anything in depth.  Didn't even go in the crawlspace to really see the extent of what needed to be done.   This compares to another company that came out and did blower-door test and used infrared thermometer equipment to check for heat loss (no charge).
The energy consultant said he would follow up with a quote via email.   I received nothing and checked junk mail folders.   I emailed for follow-up on my own and was told I would be contacted by a specialist. 
Specialist called and wanted to give me the hard sell on how they really wanted to stop by when my wife would be home.   I work in high-tech sales so I understand why they want to do this.  However, it's a huge red flag to me and exposes how they conduct their business, which is not how I conduct business.

Energy Efficiency Auditing questions, answered by experts

Electric bills tend to be lower in spring and fall because people use less electricity during these seasons. Milder temperatures allow for less use of heating and cooling, unlike during winter and summer, which usually bring more extreme temperatures.

Yes, advising on models that save electricity and reduce utility bills.

Motion-sensor lights use one watt while on standby and five watts while turned on. They’re usually on for one hour over a 24-hour period, bringing the total wattage to about 28 watts per day. LED lights use around 6.5 to 8 watts while on. If you leave an LED light on all night, with night ranging from 10 to 14 hours, you’re looking at using 65 to 112 watts a night. You can minimally cut your wattage in half by switching to a motion-sensor light.

Yes, mini-split or ductless AC systems add value to a home and do not devalue it. They are an attractive feature for potential buyers, especially in older homes without existing ductwork, as they provide a practical air conditioning solution without the significant expense and hassle of installing traditional ducts. Ductless systems also eliminate issues associated with conventional ductwork, such as noise and the potential for pests. Furthermore, homeowners value energy-efficient solutions, and mini-splits offer high efficiency for both heating and cooling, plus zoned temperature control. This leads to lower energy consumption and reduced electric bills, which is a major selling point.

A home energy audit costs about $420 on average, with prices ranging from $100 to $2,250 or more.
