"The audit went even better than we expected. Nathan is very knowledgeable, professional and personable. He was clear in his explanations and his answers to our questions. And he summarized with a prioritized list of practical steps that we can take to improve our energy efficiency. On top of all that, he found that our thermostat was misconfigured and he fixed it -- the savings to us will exceed the cost of his visit after 2-3 cold-weather months."

"Technician was running about 10 minutes behind schedule but called to let us know. He had to go to the hardware store because he did not have the correct outlet. We had to pay for the outlet which was not costly $10. Once he had all needed items he was able to get the job done quickly. He also answered some questions that we had about additional electrical concerns."

"Project went very well from quote through completion. Price was very competitive. Team was prompt, hard working, and neat. They made sure we were able to review the finished project areas before signing off on their work. All (sales, admin and install crews) were professional, polite and respectful of us and our property. We hope to see energy savings as a result of bringing the insulation levels up to recommended standards. Thank you EcoMaster!"

"I had another come out and service my furnace and when I did that they came up with like $1200 worth of work. So what I did, I thought I would get a second quote. So, a friend of mine told me about Bull City Heating & Air, so I called them and I told them exactly what the other one told me. They went under and basically said there was no problem. There was a switch or a turn that had to be tightened, so they tightened it. There was something else that needed to be replaced and they said "No it didn't need to, it had a little rust." They kind of got the rust off and basically said it was fine. So, they saved me all kinds of money. It was excellent and I decided right there, I am using them for now on. I think they are just in the ballpark with everyone else for price. It's not like they are the highest or the lowest. I don't remember that kind of thing. They didn't break the bank, which is nice."

We had Rick perform all the electrical work needed to bring our home office project to life, which included installing several new outlets, relocating several outlets, and installing a splitter for high speed data.  Rick had to make several trips to our house in coordination with the carpentry work being conducted, and he was very good about scheduling the dates and times for those visits.  Rick always kept us informed as to when he would be coming by and what he needed to do.  Rick was very friendly, professional, and provided us with high quality work.  We will use Rick in the future for all of our electrical needs.

Energy Efficiency Auditing questions, answered by experts

The answer is a resounding yes, as dishwashers save significant water and energy compared to washing dishes by hand. The difference is so drastic in fact that those who use energy-efficient dishwashers can expect savings of over $450 per year. This is because dishwashers use less water, they wash at a higher temperature than a hand rinse, and you don’t need to rinse them after washing. New dishwashers use around 4 gallons per load, whereas washing by hand can use up to 2 gallons per minute.

There are a few ways to reduce your electricity bills if you use window AC units to keep cool. Set the unit temperature at least 1 degree higher than it is currently to reduce costs. Keep the unit clean for it to run efficiently. You may want to hire a window AC specialist near you to inspect the unit once a year and keep it in tip-top shape.

A home energy audit costs about $420 on average, with prices ranging from $100 to $2,250 or more. The final cost depends on factors like your home's size, location, the thoroughness of the audit, and the specific tests performed. A basic Level 1 walk-through inspection typically costs between $150 and $200, while a comprehensive Level 3 audit with detailed testing and a report costs around $900. Homeowners may be able to use the 2022 Inflation Reduction Act’s Energy Efficient Home Improvement credit to cover up to $150 of the audit cost.

Costs for common individual tests include:

  • Blower door test: $350

  • Duct testing: $100

  • HERS test: $375

  • HERS certification: $200

  • Infrared imaging: $200

Hawaii is currently rated as the most expensive state for utilities. How much are utilities for a house in Hawaii? With electricity costs in Hawaii totaling nearly 42 cents per kilowatt-hour, residents are paying more to run their households than any other residents. Electricity costs in Hawaii are so high, mostly due to the fact that most of the electricity available to residents is produced using oil that must be shipped in from other places.

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.
