Energy Audits are a Great Idea: Light up your World

Don't put it off!  If you live in a region that offers a free energy audit through your power company, jump on it.  It's that time of year when we think about cozying up, staying warm and not breaking the bank to do so.

 

I was even brave enough to have a guy I work with do our audit.  And I didn't know exactly what I was getting into by doing that.  He was in every room of the house, the attic and the crawlspace.  I hadn't washed my light fixtures recently and guess what: he could tell I'm sure.  After doing all the assessments including checking out the furnace, hot water heater, ducts, and crawl space he replaced alot of light bulbs with the latest flourescent bulbs.  It lit up our world and I am thrilled! 

(We have to buy the chandelier bulbs for the dining area and entry. )

He made several recommendations for improvements to keep the heat in the house, but didn't find anything earth-shaking.  We could use a more energy efficient furnace and we need to seal the can lights in our super-high vaulted ceiling.  Our pipes in the crawlspace need to be insulated or there could be dire consequences. 

We have energy-saving bulbs, a list of improvements to complete and all for no charge to us.   Do some research and make an appointment.  Just remember to dust your light fixtures and cold air returns prior to the visit.  It just makes sense....
