All of our home energy auditors are BPI certified. All of our installers are BPI certified company employees. We have great specials and financing available.

"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

A blower door test shouldn’t take more than an hour, and most can be completed in less than 30 minutes. Expect the test to take longer once you start searching for leaks with thermal imaging or want to include sealing such leaks in the time estimate. The test doesn’t take much time and can’t be rushed, but it will take longer in large homes or those with many air leaks.

Generator size requirements vary wildly among properties, but typical generator sizes are listed below based on home square footage:

  • 1,000 sq ft: 6–9 kW

  • 1,500 sq ft: 7–10 kW

  • 2,000 sq ft: 10–14kW

  • 2,500 sq ft: 12–16kW

  • 3,000 sq ft: 16–20kW+

Unfortunately, home square footage isn’t always a good indicator of generator size requirements. Instead, you should call in a professional to discuss which items in your home you’d like to run via your generator. They can calculate peak and average consumption for those items and then size your generator appropriately for optimal performance.

It’s not recommended to turn off your breaker box in hopes of saving electricity. Breaker boxes were not designed to constantly be switched on and off. Therefore, turning off breakers unnecessarily can cause costly damage that outnumbers any energy savings. Only flip your breakers if absolutely necessary when troubleshooting an electrical issue.

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.

Typically, a local home energy auditor is responsible for performing energy audits. A home energy auditor will conduct one of three energy audits designed by the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating, and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) to determine the energy efficiency of your home. The auditor often provides analysis that can help guide changes and improvements to your home for better energy efficiency, giving recommendations as necessary.
