DBA The Septic Inspector.

"Jay was great! We are in the middle of the homebuying process and contacted him for a sewer line scope. He came prepared and walked us through what he was seeing. Even though it wasn't great news (obstruction, ended up being a collapsed line), we're glad he found it now rather than after we had closed on the home. I recommend that everyone get the sewer line inspected before buying a home. It definitely worth it for us!"

Comfort Windows is Upstate NY's Premier Home Improvement Company. Local experts for windows, doors, bathrooms, basements, insulation, sunrooms, siding and more.

"Don't waste you time. I got a quote in June, Deposited the first week of July, and was told it would be 8-12 weeks for installation. They came out a week later to measure and order the windows (large, not standard size). A month later I got a check for my deposit refunded with no explanation. Spent a WEEK calling to find out what is going on (was this an error?). Finally got to speak to a manager who said they canceled my order/contract becuase they decided the slope of the windows (sun room) was too low for them to warranty the order, but "forgot" to reach out and tell me it was canceled. Both the salesperson and the person who measured the order a week later didn't see a problem with the angle, it took them a month to "realize" there was an issue with the slope. This manager then made a few jokes about me driving the office crazy with my calls, and how they really didn't want to refund my deposit, so they could spend it on a party. After waiting 2 months on them is not the time to make jokes about how unprofessional they were. I get it, mistakes happen, but not returning my calls when I am just looking for answers, and you acknowledging you messed up is just crappy business."

"I've used main care for my apartments for 10 years. They recently hired a new salesman Scott Rockwell. Who basically gave me a one-week notice before they picked all 7 tanks on Halloween leaving all my tenants without heat. There are much better propane companies out there if you're looking. Stay away from Main-Care Energy!"

Energy Efficiency Auditing questions, answered by experts

Leaving vents open but closing doors in unused rooms will probably not save money on your energy bill. Closed doors prevent the natural flow of air throughout the home, which could reduce the efficiency of the overall HVAC system. They could also restrict airflow into and through the return vents, making the HVAC system less efficient.

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.

As you look for the right soundproofing drywall for you, you’ll likely come across the Sound Transmission Class (STC) rating. This rating measures a building material’s ability to absorb sound. The higher the number, the better the material absorbs rather than reflects sound, reducing noise transmission. The STC rating for drywall doesn’t mean it’s for the panel itself—it refers to the STC rating for the entire wall system, including the soundproofing drywall.

R-value is a measurement that dictates how much resistance an insulation material has against heat flow—or how well it can stop heat from coming and going. A higher R-value, which is attributed to thicker and more dense materials, means the better the insulation performs. There is not one universal recommended value. It depends on climate zones. For example, Alaska, which has a naturally cold and arctic climate, has higher R-value recommendations than the hot and humid Hawaii.

HVAC systems use the most household electricity. This major and essential system is responsible for heating and cooling your home all year round. Since they operate for a significant amount during the day, it consumes more energy than other appliances.
