"We hired Edge Energy to do a full house remodel (3,000 sq. ft.,two floors, kitchen, living room, dining room, family room, breakfast space, four bedrooms, two full baths and a powder room, laundry room). This is a little outside their normal scope but we really liked the company owner, Jason Dispenza and he set up a favorable pricing schedule that didn't include some of the exorbitant management fees we have seen with other contractors. They started with an energy audit which helped to determine some of the aspects of the systems upgrades we would need. We changed the room configuration on both floors, replaced major systems (water heater, HVAC,electrical, etc.) replaced windows and put in new window openings, installed support beams, replaced the roof, insulation, electrical upgrade and lighting, replaced much of the hardwood flooring, drywall, paint and added a new front entry with a new porch. It was a major job which we lived through for months with the exception of about two weeks when the drywall work was being done. Our living there caused Edge some additional work, but they were considerate of protecting what remained in the house, and making the space as livable as possible. The result is beautiful and we probably have one of the most energy efficient homes in our area of Maryland. The Edge crew was great to work with, very considerate and careful to not disrupt our life more than necessary. Mike Hogan, the project manager was very good to work with, attentive to concerns and very responsive to suggestions. During many weeks we were talking daily. Most subs were very good as well- the HVAC, roofing and drywall guys were great. Our only concerns were with the plumber who delayed the project considerably and the final cost of the project was higher than the estimate we had originally received. I would highly recommend Edge Energy for their work and their customer responsiveness. They are technically highly competent and are very good people to work with."

"We found HESS through Pepco's Home Performance energy savings program. Mohammed was responsive, arrived on time for the audit, and made sure to ask about any comfort issues we were having. After the audit, he took us through everything he found and made recommendations based on both energy savings and the comfort issues we discussed. He answered all my questions (and I had a lot), and explained in detail exactly what work he was suggested. When it came time for the actual work, it turned out to be a little more involved than expected, but they still managed to get it done in a day. Again Mohammed walked me through all the work that was done and answered all my questions. We haven't had a chance to test out the new insulation in the winter, but so far our upstairs is maintaining a much more uniform temperature and the A/C has definitely not been working as hard. Prior to the insulation we had a room that was 4-5 degrees hotter or colder than the rest of the upstairs depending on the season. Mohammed has also made the Pepco rebate process easy to manage so far, and his estimate was within 3% of the final rebate we will receive. I've been incredibly impressed with his communication throughout the whole process and would recommend HESS for any energy saving or comfort issues with your home."

"Atlas Home Energy Solution performed an energy audit for my home, followed by various insulation and weather-proofing tasks. Three other companies gave me estimates much higher for a work smaller in scope. Atlas estimate was lower for a more extensive work, and when combined with the rebate from BGE, turned out to be a highly reasonable deal. The employees were pleasant, courteous, and performed every task to perfection. I highly recommend them for any home energy issues"

"I needed an energy audit and Smart Energy Pros came out, not only did the audit help me figure out where I was losing money, I ended up getting a really good rebate towards the work that covered a little bit more than half. I strongly recommend Smart Energy Pros!!"

"Person who visited was very polite and noted that what I purchased was likely not something that would meet my expectations.  I wanted an energy audit, how my systems could be improved in home, lighting, heating, insulation and air conditioners.  What I got was a list of things they could work on and the price to do that work.  The work list in no way was considered an energy audit, rather it was a punch list of things I could do based on their visual inspection.  I did not have a comparison of work and benefit/savings calculation.  There was no checklist of inefficiencies and how that translated into energy losses. For example, multiple hi hat lights in house, they spoke about boxing and insulating a few, less than 10, when I have almost 90 in house.  Overall I was disappointed, the tech who came said the offering needed to be better presented prior to start of work."

"They are affiliated with the local energy company, my real issue was the hot water heater needed replaced, is the salesman, he was very snarky with me. I did not appreciate his attitude. I would say better customer service, don't talk down to the woman."

Energy Efficiency Auditing questions, answered by experts

Leaving lights on raises the electric bill, but not as much as having high-wattage light bulbs. The best way to save on electric costs is to swap your light bulbs to LED or CFL bulbs that use far fewer watts. You can also use smart lights and light switches to control usage via a smartphone or voice-controlled device.

R-value measures an insulation material's thermal resistance, indicating its ability to resist heat transfer. A higher R-value signifies better insulation performance because the material is more effective at slowing heat flow. The R-value depends on the type, thickness, and density of the insulation material, such as fiberglass, foam, or cellulose. Each inch of insulation typically provides an R-value between 3 and 8. There is no single universal R-value; the optimal choice depends on your climate zone. Colder climates require a much higher R-value than warmer ones to maintain energy efficiency, keep the home warm in winter and cool in summer, and manage costs.

Energy-efficient windows are judged on their performance according to a few different factors, including heat transfer, air leakage, light transference, and condensation resistance. If you're unsure whether a window is energy-efficient, look for an ENERGY STAR® label from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). If various products, including windows, meet energy-efficiency standards set by the federal government, the EPA issues this label to help consumers identify energy-efficient products.

String lights require electricity, but not an excessive amount, especially when compared to other lighting fixtures. LED rope lights, for instance, consume around one watt per foot. Running six or seven light strings simultaneously should only cost you around $10 to $15 each month. You can save even more money by remembering to turn off your lights during daylight hours. 

There are energy-efficient options when building a cottage. Select green building materials, high-performance insulation, and energy-efficient windows when designing your cottage. Options such as solar panels, efficient HVAC systems, and LED lighting can lower your utility bills and reduce your environmental impact. Many builders offer energy-efficient upgrades as part of the design process.
