Meet Your Home Inspector - Hi there! I’m Dylan Osborne, North Carolina Licensed and InterNACHI Certified Professional Home Inspector – CPI. I hold a Degree in Applied Science; Architecture & Construction Technologies, and 25 years of experience in land surveying, commercial property maintenance, and general manager for a 10-building, 75-unit condo complex in the US Virgin Islands. After Hurricanes Irma and Maria hit in 2017, I supervised the rebuild of the property tougher, stronger, and better than before – complete with a half-megawatt backup generator.\n\nMy knowledge, training, and experience allow me to bring a get-it-done-right attitude to every home inspection. I look forward to putting that knowledge and experience to work for you! \n828-760-7716

"Jonathan Mason with SC Solar Project did went above and beyond to make our solar purchase experience first class. After initially speaking getting quotes from half a dozen of the regions top solar contractors, Jonathan won us over with his expertise, ultra competitive pricing, commitment to quality, and dedication to saving our family the most money. This was not a small job (20kW) and Jon and his team made the process easy and stress free. He helped match the right power system and panels to our home, and was available for calls and visits to our home at every step. First class pro, great guy and awesome install team. I would highly recommend SC Solar Project to anyone going solar."

"I got proposals from 3 other contractors, all had very similar higher cost approaches.  One of these contractors has been maintaining my system for years.  Energy Sharks is different, 
Phil is special, he has a technical skill and product knowledge to specify the right equipment to meet our needs that exceeded our expectations.  He is a master at understanding where to spend our dollars to get the most benefit.  Costly features that sound good but have little payback are vetted by Phil.  He knows.  He even thoughtfully considered how to maximize our Energy rebates and tax credits by selecting the right eligible products ($950). 
The workmanship of the installation was Excellent.  Danny arrived on time and completed in the time period (less than 1 day) during the one of the coldest days of the year.  The system works great and I could not be more pleased. 
Thanks for a Great Job!

"The contractor performed an outstanding installation. The first visit, he assessed the work to perform, then walk me through the process he would perform. He offered various units to accommodate my requirement before I decided on the best option. On the day of the installation, he arrived on time, took the necessary safety precautions, did the installation and then walk me through the process of what he performed and showed me the operations. His quality of work (A+) and the cost (A+) met our expectations."

Energy Efficiency Auditing questions, answered by experts

Wood windows fall in the middle of the window frame materials when it comes to energy efficiency. They’re more insulating than aluminum and vinyl, but they aren’t as efficient as fiberglass or composite frames. If you love the look and lifespan of wood windows and want to maximize efficiency, you can upgrade to double-pane or triple-pane glass and consider window tinting and low-emissivity (low-E) coatings to minimize heat transfer.

A good SEER rating for an HVAC system is typically between 15 and 20. However, minimum requirements vary by location; HVAC systems in northern states must have at least a 14 SEER rating, while those in southern states need a minimum of 15. For the highest possible efficiency, look for units with a SEER rating of 21 or higher. It's important to remember that a SEER rating represents the maximum efficiency a unit can achieve, not the level at which it will operate at all times.

Blower door tests are measured in a few different ways, but the most popular are air changes per hour (ACH) and cubic feet of air (CFM) moving through the house per hour. A good ACH score is less than 2ACH, but 1ACH is better. This means the house experiences a total air change within 60 minutes (for 1ACH). For 2ACH, there’s a complete change every 30 minutes, and so on. CFM scores are similar in that a lower score means less air change, and therefore less leakage.

It’s not recommended to turn off your breaker box in hopes of saving electricity. Breaker boxes were not designed to constantly be switched on and off. Therefore, turning off breakers unnecessarily can cause costly damage that outnumbers any energy savings. Only flip your breakers if absolutely necessary when troubleshooting an electrical issue.

If you want a new boiler that’s going to help lower your fuel bills, you should buy one that has a high energy-efficiency rating. For example, a boiler that is rated “A” uses at least 90% of the energy created by the boiler. And in order to enjoy the best performance, it’s important to have it installed properly by a highly-rated tech.
