"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."

"We recently bought a house that had an existing media room, audio closet, and speakers in rooms all over the house. I was clueless and found Rob on Angie's List. He came out and showed me how things operated, connected some things that were really cool additions. Great service. Very knowledgeable.

Cherokee Mechanical did an exceptional job on this service call.  They were quick to get back to me after I purchased the voucher (which, by the way, was the cheapest price of any such check-up that I have seen) and scheduled a date and time which ideally fit my own schedule and was for only a few days after I purchased the voucher.  Dean presented as very professional and performed his tasks with alacrity and ease.  He not only replaced my air filters -- which was a big help as I am still using a crutch after ankle surgery -- but also spent time explaining to me the most efficient filters to get (which, by the way, are not the more expensive ones) thus offering me another way to save money.  I definitely plan on using this firm in the future and would highly recommend them to anyone in need of HVAC service or repairs.

Energy Efficiency Auditing FAQs, answered by experts

STC (Sound Transmission Class) is a rating that describes how well a building material or assembly blocks airborne sound. A higher STC rating means less noise will pass through the material, providing better sound reduction. This rating system applies to various building components, including windows, doors, flooring, drywall, and insulation.

For context, a typical single-pane window has an STC rating of around 25 (where normal conversations are audible), while a well-sealed, double-pane window can exceed STC 45 (blocking loud speech and most music). It is important to note that for some products, like soundproofing drywall, the STC rating refers to the entire wall system, not just the individual panel.

Additionally, STC ratings are most effective for measuring sound reduction at mid-to-high frequencies, such as human speech, and may not accurately reflect how well a material blocks low-frequency sounds like bass music or thunder. Because of these factors, it is recommended to consult a professional to determine the right STC-rated materials for your specific soundproofing needs.

Energy output depends on turbine size, average wind speed at your site, and system efficiency. A 5 kW turbine in a good wind location can generate 8,000 to 12,000 kilowatt-hours per year, which may cover a large portion of an average home’s needs. Accurate output estimates require a professional wind assessment and a review of your household’s energy usage patterns.

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.

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.

DIY is possible with basic tools. Professional audits provide comprehensive assessments and tailored recommendations.
