"My wife and I have a failed casement picture window that we are planning to replace. It is in our kitchen and is at least ten years old. Custom cabinetry is built onto the wall below the window. Not only does cold air come in through the failed window, but it is also cold inside the cabinets. We were concerned that this was because the wall below the window needed to be better insulated, so we planned to have that done before the new window was installed. Tony Karpovich of True Energy Solutions, Inc. came to do the free estimate as scheduled, calling first. He used an infrared detector to evaluate the wall, and demonstrated to us that our wall was already well insulated from the floor up to near the base of the window. He said that we should remind our new window vendor (who happens to be certified to do energy audits) to fill the spaces around the window with appropriate insulation, so that cold air not only cannot get in through the failed window itself but also not through conductive heat loss from the metal window frame. Tony said that as long as the window installer fully seals and insulates right around the new window, that we should not have a problem with heat loss. Tony said there was no point in adding more insulation to the wall, in general. My wife and I appreciated the information, the demonstration, and the advice. We now look forward to working with our new window vendor to get the window replaced correctly, this time."

Energy Efficiency Auditing questions, answered by experts

Yes, skylights can affect a home’s energy efficiency, either positively or negatively. Properly installed, energy-efficient skylights with Low-E coatings, double glazing, and UV-blocking glass can help regulate indoor temperatures and reduce heating and cooling costs. However, poorly insulated or older skylights can contribute to heat loss in winter and excess heat gain in summer, lowering overall energy efficiency.

Typically, a local home energy auditor is responsible for performing energy audits. A home energy auditor will conduct one of three energy audits designed by the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating, and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) to determine the energy efficiency of your home. The auditor often provides analysis that can help guide changes and improvements to your home for better energy efficiency, giving recommendations as necessary.

The answer is a resounding yes, as dishwashers save significant water and energy compared to washing dishes by hand. The difference is so drastic in fact that those who use energy-efficient dishwashers can expect savings of over $450 per year. This is because dishwashers use less water, they wash at a higher temperature than a hand rinse, and you don’t need to rinse them after washing. New dishwashers use around 4 gallons per load, whereas washing by hand can use up to 2 gallons per minute.

Yes, mini-split or ductless AC systems add value to a home and do not devalue it. They are an attractive feature for potential buyers, especially in older homes without existing ductwork, as they provide a practical air conditioning solution without the significant expense and hassle of installing traditional ducts. Ductless systems also eliminate issues associated with conventional ductwork, such as noise and the potential for pests. Furthermore, homeowners value energy-efficient solutions, and mini-splits offer high efficiency for both heating and cooling, plus zoned temperature control. This leads to lower energy consumption and reduced electric bills, which is a major selling point.

If you have central air conditioning, it’s fine to run your AC all day if that’s what you want—as long as the AC unit is in good condition. But if your AC runs constantly when you don’t want it to, there may be a problem with your system (like the ones we’ve mentioned above). Window AC units and wall air conditioners aren’t as powerful as central AC, so you should only run those kinds of air conditioners for eight to 12 hours at a time.
