"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

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.

Dehumidifiers typically use 300 to 700 watts of electricity per hour, whereas portable dehumidifiers use about 40 watts per hour. The exact amount of electricity your dehumidifier will generate depends on its capacity and energy efficiency. Generally, higher-capacity dehumidifiers generate more electricity than lower-capacity units, but they also usually have better energy efficiency over the long run.

A small sump pump running infrequently uses an average of 10 kilowatt-hours (kWh) of electricity per month. The average cost for electricity is $0.171 per kWh. The size and use frequency affect how much electricity it uses. Sump pumps average one-third to one horsepower (hp) motors. One hp is equal to 745.7 watts. Watts multiplied by the time your pump is running divided by 1,000 equals your average kWh. Multiply kWh by your average cost of electricity. In areas with high rain or a marsh basin, the average cost can be as high as $15-$25 a month.

Modern windows provide enhanced UV protection, improved heat retention, and cooling efficiency, contributing to overall household energy savings.

Audits typically take 2-4 hours, depending on the property size and energy systems.
