Meet Your Home Inspector - Hi there! I’m Dylan Osborne, North Carolina Licensed and InterNACHI Certified Professional Home Inspector – CPI. I hold a Degree in Applied Science; Architecture & Construction Technologies, and 25 years of experience in land surveying, commercial property maintenance, and general manager for a 10-building, 75-unit condo complex in the US Virgin Islands. After Hurricanes Irma and Maria hit in 2017, I supervised the rebuild of the property tougher, stronger, and better than before – complete with a half-megawatt backup generator.\n\nMy knowledge, training, and experience allow me to bring a get-it-done-right attitude to every home inspection. I look forward to putting that knowledge and experience to work for you! \n828-760-7716

"Wonderful, it was a very quick and easy process. Brian talked us through it and in no time we had a 3KW system mounted on a frame in the garden and the invertor installed in the basement. Brian talked us through working with our power company to get the system checked and approved and we now get credits from the power company for power we provide to the grid. In addition we are set up to get Solar Renewable Energy Credits (SRECs) payments for providing clean energy. We also got a free Energy Audit which helped locate some problems areas we were able to fix. The system has basically cut our energy costs in half. I have hesitation in recommending them to anyone interested in solar energy."

"I got a coupon/deal on Angie's List.  It was for Energy Audit + Attic Insulation
The guys that came to insulate my attic did an excellent job. I believe the person's name that did the job is Peter. Great guy and he knew what he was doing and it was evident that he wanted to do a great job, which is rare to find these days.
However, they never did the energy audit as the device was broken and they had to get it fixed. They showed up on a cold rainy day and the weather was not  favourable as the outside temperature was same as the inside and the energy audit will not be effective. 
I have not called them back for energy audit even though its paid for as I have some renovations work going on. I hope they will come and complete the energy audit once I am ready.
Overall A++. I highly recommend Fresh Air!

"Robert has been great to work with! Not only does he do excellent work, but he also trains you on the new equipment and trouble shoots if there are any follow-up issues post installation.  We will definitely turn to him again in the future.

Energy Efficiency Auditing questions, answered by experts

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.

After you receive your audit and report, review the findings and determine which of the prescribed changes you want to make to improve your home’s energy efficiency. Start by contacting the type of professionals recommended by the auditor who can help you remedy the issues discovered during the audit. Prioritize the projects by urgency, importance, and budget. Then, gather estimates from several professionals, remembering to verify any necessary licensing and experience information.

To determine the right size generator for your house, you should calculate the total wattage of the appliances and devices you want to power during an outage. List all essential items, note their start-up wattages, and add them together.

Here are some typical wattage requirements for common appliances:

  • Refrigerator: 600 watts

  • Large dehumidifier: 700 watts

  • Large window air conditioner: 1,400 watts

  • Water heater: 3,000 to 4,500 watts

  • Electric furnace: 5,000 to 25,000 watts

A 7,500-watt generator might be sufficient for essentials like a refrigerator, freezer, well pump, and lighting circuits. However, for high-demand items like a water heater or furnace, a whole-home generator is a better choice. A portable generator may be enough if you only need to power a few critical items.

While home square footage can offer a rough estimate, it is not always a reliable indicator. For reference, here are some typical generator sizes based on square footage:

  • 1,000 sq ft: 6–9 kW

  • 1,500 sq ft: 7–10 kW

  • 2,000 sq ft: 10–14 kW

  • 2,500 sq ft: 12–16 kW

  • 3,000 sq ft: 16–20 kW+

For the most accurate sizing, consult a professional who can calculate your home's peak and average power consumption and recommend the optimal generator.

Yes, a dirty air filter can cause a higher electric bill. That’s because clogged filters make it harder for air to flow through your HVAC system, which forces it to work harder and use more energy. According to the U.S. Department of Energy, replacing dirty filters can save you between 5% and 15% in utility costs.
