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 couple of the best ways to find a reputable energy auditor is by determining whether they are HEP-certified by the Building Performance Institute (BPI). This certification will help you narrow down your list of professionals to the most qualified pros with the most relevant experience. 

You can also choose from the Department of Energy’s certified list of energy auditors or Angi’s contractor licensing tool to find pros in your area.

As you look for the right soundproofing drywall for you, you’ll likely come across the Sound Transmission Class (STC) rating. This rating measures a building material’s ability to absorb sound. The higher the number, the better the material absorbs rather than reflects sound, reducing noise transmission. The STC rating for drywall doesn’t mean it’s for the panel itself—it refers to the STC rating for the entire wall system, including the soundproofing drywall.

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.

Smart glass doesn’t use a lot of electricity, and you can expect a standard window to add between $1 and $2 per year to your electric bills. Smart glass is proof that energy-efficient windows work. Although your smart windows may consume a little energy to operate, they can save enough energy to offset the costs. If you’re concerned about the minimal bump to your electricity consumption, you can opt for smart tint, which doesn’t require electricity to work.

ENERGY STAR®-certified windows are the most energy-efficient windows on the market. This certification means that the window meets strict efficiency guidelines set forth by the Environmental Protection Agency. While they might cost more upfront, they can save you money on your energy bills in the long run. ENERGY STAR®-certified windows lower household energy bills by an average of 12% annually.
