"We will never use this company again. They were not upfront on their labor charge for a part under warranty and then threatened us to send us to collections when we asked to meet them half way. They also tried selling us an air scrubber yet neglected to tell us the reason we are having a mold issue is because the seal between the house and the unit has holes in it. They also did not put back things moved to get to the unit and crawl space. It is unfortunate that there are companies out there who choose to do business in this manor."

Energy Efficiency Auditing questions, answered by experts

Yes, barndominiums are energy-efficient as long as insulation professionals properly install quality insulation, windows, and doors. Utility bills for barndo living can be up to 50% lower than those for a traditional home.  Make your barndo more energy efficient by working with contractors and HVAC professionals to strategically place windows, doors, and heating/cooling systems. 

Window AC units use a fair amount of electricity during use, but the usage pales in comparison to central units. As a matter of fact, window units use around a third of the amount of energy as a central AC. On average, a window air conditioner costs between $15 and $40 per month to run, though this depends on a number of external factors.

A whole-home humidifier can impact your energy bill positively. In colder months, humidified air feels warmer, allowing you to lower your thermostat without sacrificing comfort. This can lead to energy savings as your heating system works more efficiently. However, it's crucial to use the humidifier judiciously to avoid excessive humidity, which might strain your cooling system in warmer months.

Some types of electric fireplaces use more electricity than others. Models that produce 1,500 watts will have more of an effect on your heating bill than 750-watt models. 

Electric fireplaces use an average of $1.85 of electricity every eight hours. These minimal operational costs aren’t likely to make a big difference in your electric bill—unless you’re using it as a primary heating source for your home and it’s running most of the time.

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.
