"Great, Dustin was very through in his initial inspection, he included pictures of the areas I couldn’t get to. He also pointed out a few things that needed to be addressed and offered to fix those at no charge . That’s Right- NO CHARGE!! The blown-in insulation included a pest deterrent They also put mesh in all the weep holes to seal out pests and rodents. The crew arrived timely, and they were all very professional and courteous. They cleaned up after themselves both inside and out. Amazing, awesome, professional, courteous, and VERY affordable !"

Spent 5 years learning the craft based on my own interests. Keeps customer completely satisfied. Spend all day thinking about air leakage and how to help those in the Louisiana climate zone. Someone can have the best built home, but if they do not have the correct air sealing, they will be uncomfortable and spend unnecessary money on their energy. My mission is to make my customers the most comfortable in their homes, and save them money.

Energy Efficiency Auditing questions, answered by experts

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.

The number one culprit of high energy bills is older appliances, especially fridges and freezers that are left on all the time. These two appliances tend to last a long time, which is good, but it also means that newer models are usually significantly more energy-efficient due to upgraded technology. The second most common reason for a high bill is heating and air conditioning.

Yes, installing an attic fan can help lower your electric bill—particularly if you live in a hot and humid region. By replacing hot and stuffy air with cooler air, these fans help regulate the temperature in your attic and the rest of your home, taking some of the pressure off of your air conditioner.

A home energy audit costs about $420 on average, with prices ranging from $100 to $2,250 or more. The final cost depends on factors like your home's size, location, the thoroughness of the audit, and the specific tests performed. A basic Level 1 walk-through inspection typically costs between $150 and $200, while a comprehensive Level 3 audit with detailed testing and a report costs around $900. Homeowners may be able to use the 2022 Inflation Reduction Act’s Energy Efficient Home Improvement credit to cover up to $150 of the audit cost.

Costs for common individual tests include:

  • Blower door test: $350

  • Duct testing: $100

  • HERS test: $375

  • HERS certification: $200

  • Infrared imaging: $200

While you can perform many routine home maintenance jobs yourself, it’s often a good idea to bring pros in for certain tasks. HVAC maintenance, fireplace and chimney inspections, foundation repairs, and roof inspections and repairs should be handled by professionals who know what to look for and can safely perform repairs. You may also find it helpful to hire a local house cleaning service to help with deep cleaning.
