Q: Can professionals recommend energy-efficient appliances?

• <div><p>Yes, advising on models that save electricity and reduce utility bills.</p></div>

Q: Do string lights use a lot of electricity?

• <div><p>String lights require electricity, but not an excessive amount, especially when compared to other lighting fixtures. LED rope lights, for instance, consume around one watt per foot. Running six or seven light strings simultaneously should only cost you around $10 to $15 each month. You can save even more money by remembering to turn off your lights during daylight hours. </p></div>

Q: Are there energy-efficient options when building a cottage?

• <div><p>There are energy-efficient options when building a cottage. Select green building materials, high-performance insulation, and energy-efficient windows when designing your cottage. Options such as solar panels, efficient HVAC systems, and LED lighting can lower your utility bills and reduce your environmental impact. Many builders offer energy-efficient upgrades as part of the design process.</p></div>

Q: What are STC ratings?

• <div><p>STC (Sound Transmission Class) ratings tell you how well something blocks airborne noise. It&rsquo;s a single number that sums up how much sound a material, like a window, can stop across regular speech frequencies. The higher the number, the better the sound reduction. A typical single-pane window hovers around STC 25 (where you can hear normal conversations), while well-sealed, double-pane options can push past STC 45 (which blocks out loud speech and most music). Just keep in mind that STC doesn&rsquo;t cover everything&mdash;low rumbles like bass or thunder can sneak through&mdash;so pairing methods are always ideal for the most peace and quiet.</p></div>

Q: What’s the difference between an energy auditor and a home inspector?

• <div><p>The difference between an energy auditor and a home inspector is primarily in the purpose of the inspection. The energy auditor conducts tests in your home to determine the energy efficiency levels in areas like windows, insulation, and doorways. The auditor then makes recommendations for ways to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/will-energy-audit-lower-my-heating-costs.htm">improve a home&rsquo;s energy efficiency</a>. </p><p>A home inspector examines various structures of your home to determine that everything is up to code and gauge the condition of features like the roof, foundation, HVAC, and electrical. The home inspector reports on the overall home and makes repair recommendations.</p></div>
