"Scott arrived punctually for our first meeting and thoughtfully and thoroughly analyzed our problem (mold on peak of cathedral ceiling).  He listened carefully to our thoughts and explained his analysis clearly and completely.  He provided us with examples of similar situations he had addressed, successfully, in the past. He also showed us photos of his previous work. He spent over an hour with us, answering all questions and outlining his processes.  

After we agreed to have him do the job, he provided an extensive written contract for the work.  Our lawyer reviewed the contract and made several suggestions.  Scott quickly adjusted the contract to address our lawyer's concerns.  He scheduled the work promptly and it was completed in the agreed upon time frame.  We asked for the new electrical circuit to be labelled, and Scott took care of this without additional reminders, although I don't believe this was part of his usual service. There were no add ons to the bill.

After the work, Scott responded to questions and promised referrals to mold remediation services if required.  We've called him several times with questions, and he has always responded promptly with useful answers.

We have been totally satisfied with Scott Knapp and Rfactor from start to finish and would recommend him enthusiastically and without reservation to anyone with a similar problem."

Energy Efficiency Auditing FAQs, answered by experts

Setting your AC unit to 78 degrees can, indeed, help you save energy. In fact, according to experts, every degree you turn the unit up could save you between 1% and 3% on your energy bills. That said, turning your unit off entirely while you’re out might actually be less efficient than keeping it on at a higher temperature. Why? The unit will need to work extra hard to cool the house back off again after all those hot hours. 

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.

Common warning signs of an overloaded electrical panel or meter box include frequent circuit breaker tripping, flickering or dimming lights, scorch or burn marks, and a burning scent coming from the panel. A circuit breaker trips as a protective measure to prevent overheating and potential fires. If you observe any of these signs, turn off the affected circuit breaker and move some devices to a different circuit. If the problem persists after turning the breaker back on, you should contact a professional electrician to resolve the issue.

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.

Leaving lights on raises the electric bill, but not as much as having high-wattage light bulbs. The best way to save on electric costs is to swap your light bulbs to LED or CFL bulbs that use far fewer watts. You can also use smart lights and light switches to control usage via a smartphone or voice-controlled device.
