"I could only select ?Home Energy Audit? above as work I had done. I actually had attic and rim joist insulation. So happy that I spent the money to get my home insulated. There is a noticeable difference. Well worth the money. Thank you!"

"My husband and I somehow have energy bills that are much higher on average than our neighbors according to the energy company. So we're interested in adding insulation to our home and possibly replacing some windows plus two patio doors. Before spending the money, we thought it would be smart to do a home energy audit first to see if it is worth the investment. We are generally comfortable in our home, but it seems we are overpaying to keep it that way.

There are several energy audits offered by Excel, which is what we were initially going to have done. However, my husband was referred by a colleague to Hoffman Weber Construction who had some attic insulation put in his home by the company over the winter. Since they offered free estimates and we heard the work was done well (he told my husband his bills have significantly improved), we scheduled an appointment to them to come out and give us a quote.

A gentleman from the company called to confirm the appointment and my husband asked what they do specifically to know how much insulation is needed. He told him he typically starts with a consultation and asks questions to determine why we believe insulation is needed, then checks for moisture issues and performs and attic inspection. My husband asked about the Excel Energy audit, and the guy mentioned their company is putting together a new service that is very similar and offered us the program for free if we'd allow them to do our inspection as training for some of their reps. We agreed and had them come over yesterday to do everything.

They started with a blower door test which helps determine how much air our home is leaking, which was a shocking amount (81 inches - basically like a big hole in the wall we can't see). One gentleman who seemed to be the most knowledgable of the group showed us how it takes the measurements and explained everything very well. They went around with what looked like speed detection guns, but were used to show infrared. They figured out that our electric fireplace chimney had a significant issue that could be resolved with some insulation. They also showed us how much air each bathroom fan and air duct was actually flowing out compared to what is code. Overall, it was very educational for my husband and I and every person that involved from Hoffman Weber was courteous and respectful. They gave a quote on the insulation and windows, and we are currently looking into financing options. When/if we are able to afford it, we will be delighted to have this company come back out for the actual projects."

Energy Efficiency Auditing questions, answered by experts

Not all homes are suited for solar panel systems. Older roofs or those in poor condition may need repairs or replacement before solar panels can be installed. Some other factors to consider are the amount of sunlight your roof receives, the roof’s orientation and pitch, and any shading from nearby trees or buildings.

Homeowners may qualify for an HVAC tax credit if they install an ENERGY STAR®-certified HVAC system that exceeds the energy efficiency minimum standards:

  • Split-System AC: 16 SEER2

  • Packaged AC: 15.2 SEER2 and 11.5 EER2

  • Ducted Split Heat Pump: 15.2 SEER2, 7.8 HSPF2, and 11.7 EER2 

  • Packaged Heat Pump: 15.2 SEER2, 7.2 HSPF2, and 10.6 EER2

  • Mini-Split System: 16 SEER2, 9 HSPF2, and 12 EER2

You can claim up to 30% of the cost of the job, subject to maximums.

Installing weather stripping or upgrading to insulated panels can improve efficiency.

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.

They’ll use more electricity than the average upright vacuum, but not remarkably more. Most power units plug into a standard 120-volt outlet and don’t have significant power demands. You shouldn’t notice an increase in electricity bills. If you have any specific questions about energy costs, ask your installer as you examine purchase decisions. Larger power units will need more electricity for their suction levels.
