"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

Energy-efficient windows cost more than other window types, but they can help you save on your monthly energy bills, get you some breaks on your taxes, and even increase the value of your home. According to Michael S. Regan, Administrator of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, when people invest in green upgrades like energy-efficient windows, they save energy, money, and more.

Yes, barndominiums are energy-efficient as long as insulation professionals properly install quality insulation, windows, and doors. Utility bills for barndo living can be up to 50% lower than those for a traditional home.  Make your barndo more energy efficient by working with contractors and HVAC professionals to strategically place windows, doors, and heating/cooling systems. 

While some aspects of an appraisal, such as comparable properties nearby, are out of your control, there are several steps you can take to potentially increase your home's value. Make any necessary repairs and upgrades before the appraiser's visit, as they can only value what is currently part of the home, not its potential. Examples include renovating older areas, updating landscaping to boost curb appeal, and staging your home. You can also provide the appraiser with the cost of recent upgrades, which may increase your home's value by about 50% or more of what you paid for those improvements.

A good SEER rating for an HVAC system is typically between 15 and 20. However, minimum requirements vary by location; HVAC systems in northern states must have at least a 14 SEER rating, while those in southern states need a minimum of 15. For the highest possible efficiency, look for units with a SEER rating of 21 or higher. It's important to remember that a SEER rating represents the maximum efficiency a unit can achieve, not the level at which it will operate at all times.

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.
