"Let me save you time (and money in utilities) . If you need ANY services Energy Masters can help with, look no further.  Absolute professionals every step of the way, with very extensive knowledge of the industry. I've been in commercial property management for 20 years and I've rarely  encountered a company, professionally or personally,  wherein every single person involved with the project cares so much about their quality of work. I would have expected to pay much more for the resulting success. We've now had record cold and record heat in the short 2 months since the project was completed so I can give a fair review from both perspectives.
Mary accommodated our schedule by coming on a Saturday morning to perform a no obligation audit.  I can't express how happy we were to have made that decision. Mary spent a long time in the crawl space and in the attic, taking photos all the way so we could see the issues. 1) We have been in our home 3 years and never knew we had NO insulation in the crawl space  (we'd never gone down there and the home inspector did not bother to mention this). I'd always wondered why my slate kitchen floor was SO cold. None of the pipes were insulated. The dryer hose had 3 - 90 degree 'kinks' in it which Energy masters rectified for us.2)  The insulation in the attic was all to one side, leaving the other side with none. None of the duct work was insulated, etc. Air leaks everywhere. 3) Even though we had the heat set at 70 degrees I had always felt cold in the winter and the air from the heating ducts seemed to blow cool.  Mary showed us how the ducts were not sealed properly which was allowing the cold air from the crawl space to be blown up with the warm air. Not only did this cause us to run the heat much more often, that undesirable crawl space air was infiltrating our home. YUK!4) There were a number of other small issues taken care of, as well as a couple more we will address in the near future. When Mary says a 'complete audit', complete it is!
To address the air conditioning:  My (retired) husband is at home during the day so he knows when the air conditioning (or heat) usually kicks on. It was 95 degrees outside and he expected the air to go on at 1 pm, as in the past. Not with our new insulation! The air did not go on until 5:30 pm, ran a couple short times maintaining the 72 degrees we'd set it at, and then it was time to turn it off and open the windows for the evening. I can't wait to see our NV Energy bill for the past month; (when's the last time you could say the, eh?) Our last one was down $56 from average, taking into account corresponding temps of the prior year. This project was to be a 10 year payback. I have no doubt it will be far sooner.
One final word about the employees who worked on our project with Mary, Adolfo and Marcos. Again, professionals with great knowledge.  They worked methodically, carefully and took great pride in their work. You felt that your project was their only concern - no rush to finish and get on to another job.  Just as we felt 100% comfortable with Mary being in our home, we felt as comfortable with Adolfo and Marcos being there. We went about our daily business and just had them lock the house when they were through for the day. Not may contractors elicit that degree of trust. Thanks to you all for an job very well done!!!"

Energy Efficiency Auditing questions, answered by experts

Costs depend on pipe length, accessibility, and whether additional services are required.

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.

A whole-house humidifier can positively impact energy consumption by improving heating efficiency. During colder months, humidified air feels warmer, which allows you to lower your thermostat without sacrificing comfort. This adjustment can lead to significant energy savings as your heating system works more efficiently. However, it's important to use the humidifier judiciously, as excessive humidity could potentially strain your cooling system in warmer months.

Yes, installing an attic fan can help lower your electric bill—particularly if you live in a hot and humid region. By replacing hot and stuffy air with cooler air, these fans help regulate the temperature in your attic and the rest of your home, taking some of the pressure off of your air conditioner.

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