"The crew arrived right on time and immediately set to work. The foreman went through the house with his infrared camera to find the locations of studs and blocks (boards between studs) and gave measurements to another guy outside, who marked these locations with black tape. Then they drilled holes into each cavity from outside (5/8" holes through the stucco). That was quite a noisy operation! Once the holes where drilled, they began filling with the foam from outside. One person was inside to see if the foam started to come through the inside. (We had one spot where a kitchen cabinet was built right up to the outside -- 100 year old house -- and they started to run the insulation into the cabinet! Quickly stopped and easily cleaned up.) They used drop-cloths outside to collect most of the excess foam (see photo) and did a pretty good job of cleaning up. They filled the holes and touched up with the paint we provided. I admit I was worried about having a lot of obvious patches showing up on the walls outside, but you really cannot tell unless you look quite close... except for a few areas where the wall is dirty. Those should disappear when I do a little wall washing this summer. Our drafty, 100-year-old house is much less drafty, definitely cozier, and noticeably quieter (the foam-filled walls deaden a lot of noise.) Looking forward to seeing how it effects my energy bill! The two photos show the back of the house during the job (see black tape and lines of foam between holes) and after (all cleaned up; patched holes not easy to spot.) I should note that this was all done in one snowy, 30 degree day."

Energy Efficiency Auditing questions, answered by experts

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. 

The best way to save money on home heating oil is to get large deliveries in the summer months when the prices are lowest. However, this method will only work if you have a separate storage tank or an unusually large primary tank. You can sometimes save money by opting into a delivery contract, as some companies offer set prices that they believe will sit at the average cost over the contract term. If the price of oil rises, you could enjoy some savings, but keep in mind that you might also pay a bit more if the price decreases.

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.

Heat pumps transfer existing heat instead of generating it, using less energy. Compared to baseboard heaters, they can reduce heating costs by up to 50% and provide efficient cooling, lowering electricity bills and carbon footprint.

Yes, these services often increase home value by preventing moisture-related issues and enhancing the usable space in basements or crawlspaces.
