"This probably the most professional service organization I've worked with in any capacity. They did a comprehensive audit and we discussed issues that could be remediated prioritized by the biggest bang for the buck and then they did the fixes we agreed upon. I always felt like I was dealing with an expert who had my best interests at heart - work that they could have done that they advised could be deferred. Ended up increasing the insulation in the attic which I'd known for years was a problem and sealing the ducts which has made a noticeable difference. I'd happily recommend Atlas to anyone who thinks they might benefit from a home energy audit and efficiency upgrades."

"They showed up on time, looked over the project, and decided they couldn't safely replace the fan since it required outside access on a steep roof. This was the correct decision. They didn't charge me for travel time. I would hire them again."

"Actual workers were fantastic. Office personnel were terrible.Moments before scheduled arrival, I was Texted that they wouldn't make it. When I called I got some BS story and was told they would be out the next day. When they arrived, only one person knew what he was doing ad was waiting on another to remove vinyl siding. Once the ceiling was done, the crew was ready to leave. Called the company, was sent to voicemail. When I called back I was told I would be speaking to the owner, after more time on hold I was then told I would be speaking to a manager. They finally did get the right people out, but then had issues with their truck etc. What a hassle. Took almost all day to finish insulating a small garage and garage ceiling. Again, all actual workers were hard working, pleasant people."

"Very good, almost great. The install team arrived on time, confirmed work order & started the job. In about 4.5 hrs, power was applied & we started to get heat. A quick overview of the HAVC system was given, balance paid all questions answered and there were smiles on most faces. The sales person described the operation of the new HAVC to be quieter than current system and it is. However, the term quieter was not expressed in db difference so a service tech came out and was able to discuss the issue. The whole evolution was a positive event and we will gladly refer Orbit Energy & Power LLC, as a HAVC company that I will work with again."

"Gary Barnes and his two colleagues I met were very professional as far as courtesy , on time callbacks, etc is concerned. We paid for the "Big Deal" directly through Creative Hands, not purchasing through Angie's List as we were told that this would save us time in processing. The price is pretty good, though buyers need to be aware (and perhaps I missed this explanation somewhere, although it does make sense) that the 8-hours of work includes work for one person. If you have two workers, this is divided by 2 so 4 hours a piece. Any trips to the hardware store are taken off from the total of 8 hours. This may be a common practice.  We ended up getting "extra" 2 hours of work, but partially because the 2 outlets were not installed correctly the first time, so the electrician that Creative Hands works with came by later to fix /reinstall for a second time the outlets so that the green light is on AND the GFI outlets work.  It is a good deal and worth doing for small things. They are nice guys, but in our case,  SOME of the work was a bit sloppy. Outlet in my son's room - pre-repair (no holes around outlet) After repair to install electrical outlet in bathroom we now have gaps which require patching and outlet which was not crooked and inset oddly in wall is now oddly inset and not flat.  We have uneven area on wall above where the hole was cut  that will require more than average sanding to smooth and painting (which we expected). For whatever reason, when the GFI outlets were purchased, the covers were not. The   GFI outlet in bathroom has holes/gaps around it too, and we live in an older home(1940) with the wet set/concrete type walls. We had sweeping and vacuuming to do after they were finished, a fair amount of dust and debris was left in the upstairs hall. Blue painters tape left on all of my son's furniture, which is easy to remove, but I would have thought that this was part of clean up.  The original ink marks on the wall to show one of the options for the new outlet were left on the wall, not washed off.  So, we have additional work apart from just minor sanding and painting that my husband and I were thinking we would not have hiring a professional. Ceiling patching actually is just fine.  Downstairs outlet replacement fine and light in the kitchen fine. We had planned on a second trip out- but we are afraid to do this with our fence for fear we may be left with another problem to fix afterwards. I had explained the front door issue well, and thought perhaps the wood needed to be replaced or iron strike plate or lock so that it would close and lock. We were looking for some advice on the right way to fix this, since we were told by Creative Hands that we were in good hands, with all the years experience they have at doing this. Part of the problem I think is that it would be wise to come out first to take a look to see how things need to be fixed before just showing up and having to rush a solution."

Energy Efficiency Auditing questions, answered by experts

Common warning signs of an overloaded electrical panel or meter box include frequent circuit breaker tripping, flickering or dimming lights, scorch or burn marks, and a burning scent coming from the panel. A circuit breaker trips as a protective measure to prevent overheating and potential fires. If you observe any of these signs, turn off the affected circuit breaker and move some devices to a different circuit. If the problem persists after turning the breaker back on, you should contact a professional electrician to resolve the issue.

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

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.

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.

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.
