"We had serious issues with our second (half) story being consistently warmer than our first story, bringing with it very high electric bills. Peak Energy performed an energy audit that identified the issue and then sealed our attic (in the middle of a summer heat wave, no less) in 2 days. The team was professional and punctual and the discrepancy in our temperatures between the two floors went from >5 degrees to <2 degrees."

"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

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.

Yes, pros suggest units with high EER ratings for energy savings.

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.

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.

Energy-efficient windows are judged on their performance according to a few different factors, including heat transfer, air leakage, light transference, and condensation resistance. If you're unsure whether a window is energy-efficient, look for an ENERGY STAR® label from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). If various products, including windows, meet energy-efficiency standards set by the federal government, the EPA issues this label to help consumers identify energy-efficient products.
