Q: What is a good blower door test score?

• <div><p>Blower door tests are measured in a few different ways, but the most popular are air changes per hour (ACH) and cubic feet of air (CFM) moving through the house per hour. A good ACH score is less than 2ACH, but 1ACH is better. This means the house experiences a total air change within 60 minutes (for 1ACH). For 2ACH, there&rsquo;s a complete change every 30 minutes, and so on. CFM scores are similar in that a lower score means less air change, and therefore less leakage. </p></div>

Q: How much energy do motion-sensor lights save?

• <div><p>Motion-sensor lights use one watt while on standby and five watts while turned on. They&rsquo;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&rsquo;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.</p></div>

Q: How do I prepare for an energy audit?

• <div><p>Provide utility bills and clear access to all areas of the home, including the attic and basement.</p></div>

Q: What incentives or rebates are available for home wind turbine installation?

Extremely fast, professional service! The guys at Gazzaway worked with the electric company efficiently to diagnose and repair our issue. AJ and his team worked extremely hard to resolve our main power line issue much faster than I thought would be possible. I highly recommend Gazzaway Electric!

"I was considering 3 companies to do the work. They provided the best deal. The installation went very smoothly; finished in a day. Very happy with the process to that point. Had some problems with some logistics afterward. The papers weren't processed properly to iniitally run the solar panels (it took 2 months till we figured out the electric company hadn't 'turned on' the panels). There was also some problems with the paperwork for the tax rebates that slowed things down. I talked to the owner Mark, who was very sorry for the problems and offered a small refund, even though we don't really know what happened. He wanted to be sure I was a happy customer, which I am. I was impressed by his professionalism. However, I'm still not seeing the savings that I was told. I've had my house energy audited, installed Nest thermostats, and still not seeing a major decrease in my KWh usage. I can only assume that we are having a hotter season than last year; hoping to realize savings next year.
