"We have been quite pleased with GreenSavers's service and 'product' from beginning to end. We found them through their Chinook Book coupon for a home energy audit. Two nice people came out, poked, prodded, crawled and noted their way around the house. They were pleasant to talk with, and patient with my general energy-saving questions. A week later, one of them returned to present a proposal for a variety of projects. We didn't feel pressured to choose any one project. In fact, we told them that we'd need to pause the process. After a few month's diligent, professional follow-up, they checked in at the right time and with the right news: we might be a contender for the Zonolite Attic Trust (ZAT)'s 50% rebate on removing the vermiculite from our attic, air sealing the space, and then re-insulating. Who would say 'no' to them coming by to pick up a sample of our insulation? For better or worse, the result came back positive; we had vermiculite in our attic. With our permission, GreenSavers confirmed with the ZAT that we were candidates for the rebate. Woohoo! But wait, we were having some remodeling done in the kitchen. Could we please have the vermiculite remediated immediately, but wait on air sealing and re-insulating until that larger project was done? Sure, we were told. No problem. Finally, when GreenSavers came back to do the work, they did so quickly and expertly. As far as I can tell, they sealed the heck out of our two knee wall spaces, and -according to our wishes- preserved some usable storage space by using a different type of insulation. If you're still reading, you get the gist: this is a company you can trust. When my friends ask for referrals on this type of work, I won't hesitate to recommend GreenSavers. For what it's worth, Jennifer was our primary contact. She was very personable, professional and easy to work with."

"Mr. Gorman was professional and thorough. He did a blower door test on my house and identified several air leakage points that lowered my energy efficiency. He pointed out where I could mitigate leakage, ranging from the most easily done to the more challenging. After I sealed several of the easier-to-get-to points, he did another test and showed me a fifteen percent improvement. Mr. Gormanâ s tests and detailed evaluations are sure to lead to even more improvements to my energy profile and future money savings."

Energy Efficiency Auditing questions, answered by experts

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 improve a home’s energy efficiency. 

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.

Homeowners may qualify for an HVAC tax credit if they install an ENERGY STAR®-certified HVAC system that exceeds the energy efficiency minimum standards:

  • Split-System AC: 16 SEER2

  • Packaged AC: 15.2 SEER2 and 11.5 EER2

  • Ducted Split Heat Pump: 15.2 SEER2, 7.8 HSPF2, and 11.7 EER2 

  • Packaged Heat Pump: 15.2 SEER2, 7.2 HSPF2, and 10.6 EER2

  • Mini-Split System: 16 SEER2, 9 HSPF2, and 12 EER2

You can claim up to 30% of the cost of the job, subject to maximums.

Energy-efficient windows cost more than other window types, but they can help you save on your monthly energy bills, get you some breaks on your taxes, and even increase the value of your home. According to Michael S. Regan, Administrator of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, when people invest in green upgrades like energy-efficient windows, they save energy, money, and more.

You can save money on heating oil through a combination of improving home efficiency and smart purchasing strategies.

Home Efficiency and Usage:

  • Improve Insulation: Ensure your home, especially the basement and attic, is well-insulated and sealed against drafts to prevent heat leakage.

  • Manage Your Thermostat: Use a properly calibrated and programmable thermostat. Lower the temperature by a few degrees, particularly when you are away from home or asleep.

Purchasing Strategies:

  • Buy in the Off-Season: Order heating oil during the summer months when prices are generally at their lowest. This strategy is most effective if you have a large primary tank or a separate storage tank to accommodate bulk deliveries.

  • Consider a Delivery Contract: Some companies offer contracts with a set price for the term. This can lead to savings if market prices for oil increase, but you might pay more if prices drop.

While you can perform many routine home maintenance jobs yourself, it’s often a good idea to bring pros in for certain tasks. HVAC maintenance, fireplace and chimney inspections, foundation repairs, and roof inspections and repairs should be handled by professionals who know what to look for and can safely perform repairs. You may also find it helpful to hire a local house cleaning service to help with deep cleaning.
